    What I believe is worse is people like Taylor Lorenz still criticizing Biden even though there’s no sight of him. Not only is it a waste of time, but it also adds to any dissatisfaction with the Democrats, which always works in favor of the Republicans in a two-party system like that of the US. The goal should be taking down Trump before coming for the other party.

      That would make sense if the Democrats weren’t holding a dagger to your back just in case you start preaching dangerous socialism.

      but it also adds to any dissatisfaction with the Democrats, which always works in favor of the Republicans in a two-party system like that of the US.

      If you’re not working to destroy the system, you’re already barking up the wrong tree.

      It should be, but I dont think that Democrats see it the same way. The party as a whole besides some individual politicians is not a party that is ready or willing to oppose the fascists.

      They also have a track record of being useless against Trump. They were in power 4 years, Biden promised to bring the country back together and just failed. There is no need to focus on them when resisting Trumpism.

      Doesnt mean they couldnt join the cause, but most likely they will do that when they decide to co-opt it so they can win the next election.
