This post is the most accurate portrayal of the situation I think I’ve seen. I’d greatly question someone’s moral compass if they liked Biden or approved of his presidency. Whenever this gets discussed, a bunch of status quo warriors pop out of wells to say “Trump is worse.” Like, no shit.

Yes, but it still needs to be said every time because it would be detremental to leave even the tiniest chance for this (valid) critique of Biden to help Trump in the presidential election.
That is why I think it’s inportant to point out the obvious (Trump is way worse) because it is obvious to most but might not be to some and it would be a massive Issue if those people could take this discourse as reason not to vote for Biden in november.
It seems to me in bad taste when someone’s trying to discuss things like the Palestinian genocide or the immigrant concentration camps to then try to make it about a campaign. It effectively derails meaningful discussion about people actually suffering and dying via Biden’s bad actions.
Edit: But I do understand your pov. I just disagree with it. The best thing we can do to earn the votes of leftist and progressive voters is to at least make us feel heard. Lecturing us about Trump every time seems like a great way to alienate people.
Look he has fucked up the least out of all the modern presidents, so of course people like Biden, this holier-than-thou attitude is what gives online leftists a bad name

thank you! fully agree. i’m slowly getting a handle on this rhetoric posting thing 🙃
You’re doing great!
If you ever want to post something without dealing with all the bad takes and genocide deniers, come post on !libertyhub@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I created it more or less to keep myself out of pointless arguments lol

Yeah because not committing genocide and building concentration camps is too high a bar for a person to clear /s
