    I like to look at the summer riots of 2020. Sure they got coopted and memoryholed, but it’s not like people weren’t out in the streets actually doing actual stuff, and since then the general vibe has been much.more antagonistic. Since then we’ve also had more unionisation efforts. I really think Biden was a more competent ghoul than many here give him credit for. He came in right as things were about to pop off.
    A lot of people got good experience with organising and other stuff, and that hasn’t been forgotten.

        If you sort by controversial you can find hexbear strugglesessions about Biden being a harm reduction candidate. I also made a post gathering a bunch of those kind of discussions a while ago. Its one of my highest voted posts, if you look at my profile (just telling you this for if you’re curious and wanna look about).

          I remember some Biden struggles, but people were so upset about Bernie and interested in the protests that I never thought that was really a serious position. But I generally avoid the struggle threads so idk.

          I do remember the podcasts around that time where everyone had to hash out the Correct Position™ on voting for Biden lol.
