Worth noting I encountered these liberal apologists within MONTHS of Biden taking office. The very day it came to light that he was opening even more concentration camps, there were liberal Democrats crawling all over reddit, tumblr, and twitter to explain why this was good ackshually.
Side note: Never listen when they say “now’s not the time to talk about this in an election year.” That’s a red flag that alerts you that you can safely discard anything else they say after that. They were saying that already in 2021.
So much yes! The cavalier and defensive responses by Democrats have disillusioned me of the notion that they’re willing to “push Biden left” as they say.
Instead, they’ll straight up brag about how Biden has imprisoned and deported more immigrants than Trump, and gloat about how they offered “the most restrictive anti-immigrant bill” ever but were rejected.
And maybe idk here’s a novel thought for Democrats: Just maybe stop trying to appeal to fascists? Maybe try being the “lesser evil” they claim to be instead of committing atrocities on the regular and spreading the Republicans’ racist propaganda for them?
My expectations for Biden were abysmally low (but I did vote for him in 2020), yet he continues to find new lows to which to stoop. Nothing I’ve seen from him or his supporters inspires hope.
Dems went right back to courting Republicans – an option that never backfired on them ever before 🙄
