I’m also disturbed by how the mildest criticism of a democratic candidate, even merely suggesting they need to have a better response to something, sets off the most aggrieved reactions informing me that I want trump to win, want abortion outlawed, etc etc

I sympathize, but timing is everything. Triage is always a matter of prioritizing. Many of us on the left see Trump as the primary threat to the future, and so his defeat takes priority. After Nov. 5, we can then focus on the next steps.

i can't listen to these fuckers lie and smirk and run cover for israel anymore. pains me to say it but the biden administration is one of the worst in my lifetime. i didn't think anyone could top bush or reagan but by god they might pull it off

It's such a hack observation, but they're a cult. That's what cultists do.
