He also said that the danger posed by another Trump term doesn’t excuse Biden from scrutiny but “actually makes him more subject to scrutiny.”

To leftists and progressives fed up with Biden, particularly his commitment to Israel as it continues to bomb civilians in Gaza, the assessment was not just fair — it was obvious. But more centrist Democrats, including those most likely to have appended “Blue Wave” and “Resistance” labels to their social media accounts in the Trump years, were appalled at what they saw as a betrayal by one of their own.

    It’s really easy to call alarmism - it means nobody has to do anything about the problem and no one is to blame. We’ve got politicians quoting Mien Kampf almost verbatim, but sure, it’s just an overreaction 🙄

      No it means exactly what the definition for alarmism says. You can choose to believe “it means nobody has to do anything about the problem and no one is to blame”.

      And quoting Mein Kampf only means that the politician in question is either mentally disturbed or dog whistling.
