NO.
now is NOT the time to tell people not to criticize Biden. look at what he is doing for #Gaza after almost half a million #Uncommitted votes during these #primaries.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUSH DEMOCRATS, TO THE LEFT AS HARD AS WE CAN.
Protests work.
Democrats need to be the #antifascist party, not the party of meeting the fascists in the middle.
now is the time for all democrats to act like members of an antifascist party and not as just the opposition.
Do they not get that calling being antifascist, "far left" implies that everyone to the right of far left (and one must assume, themselves) are pro-fascism?
as a non-American (2nd time I've used that tonight) most democrats are rigid right-centrists, from what I've observed, hellbent on portraying themselves as "reasonable" cooperators.
Historically speaking, centrists capitulate to fascists while they will utterly and violently reject the "left". Why? Well, under fascists they can retain their wealth and privilege.
Any wonder then why they see "antifascists" as being "far-left" or radical?

@fedwards9965@ozzy@blogdiva damn, ain't that the truth. Looking at the centrist comments in this thread is proof positive of that. Centrists love to think of themselves as so much more reasonable than the Trump right, but then lose their shit when anyone criticizes their president, casting around accusations of "ruining our democracy".
So the centrists defend thir own brand of fascism while calling it "democracy", and claim to be "anti-fascist." They oppose the fascism of Trump simply because Trump isn't the brand of fascism they prefer, and to that end defend a president who... (checks notes) assists in committing genocide of simitic/arab people in Gaza, but that's OK because Trump would do the same and worse. Yeah. "Reasonable" people, not "far left." Well done guys.
I'll vote Democrat because, as @blogdiva has said before, it is harm reduction, and I will still criticize Biden and the Democrats for every single last amoral thing that they do office, because that is the moral thing to do.
