Supreme Leader is above criticism, and to believe otherwise means you're the one in a cult.

This is the guy (whom I proudly voted for) who was getting defensive because people didn't think he was as progressive as they were led to believe. The people criticizing Biden and Fetterman are typically liberals and progressives, not MAGA.
I think Joe Biden is grossly under-appreciated for what he's accomplished thus far. He's legit incredible (imo). He's also old as shit and I reject the idea that he's the only American citizen capable of running the country as well as he has for three years. Dude, take the W and GTFO.
I don't think Joe Biden is underappreciated, it's just that the main issue is of Gaza War, and people just don't like how Israel conduct their war campaign and how US responded. No one reasonable would support Hamas, and any people with a moral compass would rather support a war campaign that minimizes deaths of civilians over those who signed up for combat.

Any progressives who actually pay attention to what the government is doing and not just Republican propaganda are probably also supporting Biden.
He's not been perfect. I wish he was younger, and i have criticisms on a lot of middle east foreign policy including Israel, but on the whole he's been by far the most progressive president in my lifetime.
You can support someone while criticizing them.
Folks talking shit isn't news.
He already got his I suck Israeli lobbyist dick hat.
"haha jk I'm mid right just like every other dem! Vote mid right or vote far right cause you can suck a dick otherwise!"
DJ air horn
Eat shit Fetterman.
Ahhh, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where you're not allowed to mock your elected leader without hurting someone else's feelings.
I've recently come to the conclusion Biden shouldn't run again. There's no two ways about it. Guy is too old. (Trump is too, but maggats won't care.)
If Biden left after one term, he would be remembered as a great president. If he loses to Trump, he will be that senile asshole who helped to destroy US democracy because he couldn't see what everyone else could.
There's plenty of younger Democrats. Any one of them could campaign circles around Trump.
Unfortunately, he decided to run whether or not we think he "should". What are we supposed to do? We had better vote and not let apathy get the best of us.
There's still time for him to change his mind though. Everyone is pretending this is all set in stone. This fatalism is so weird.
