      I think you're answering your own question. It was everywhere. We got our digs in. We got bored because it wasn't moving the needle and we got some new material. The right definitely does still crack the same joke about him not knowing what day of the week it is. Clock memes have gone the way of gritty memes. We don't have a thread about it everyday for the same reason we don't re-litigate the primaries everyday. The West Wing Thing mentioned it just the other week. It comes up, it's just that we don't have a 100 post discussion about it everyday.

      We talk about the Fed and interest rates more because it's currently more relevant given all the inflation stuff. America having a bad president isn't an important historical development. It's always been that way. It's not unexpected.

          I agree. The pushback you are getting in this thread for a perfectly valid question is really weird to me.

            It's a person asking us why we don't talk about the thing they want to talk about more. It's not the subject that bothers me it's the implication that because OP isn't seeing constant threads about it then it means nobody cares and is okay with it and we're actually all liberal for not talking about it more.

                In your OP you said leftists no longer mention it. Now you're more specific saying it's about the media. What media? Podcasts? Jacobin? MeansTV? Breadtubers?

                Biden is another bad president. If you think he's uniquely evil or the first president with health issues then you're just plain wrong. Trump wasn't uniquely evil either. You are not the first person to experience living under a shit capitalist government.

                You didn't outright call anyone a liberal you just implied that not seeing what you see is like being a liberal.

          You feel like you're being gaslighted? I'm agreeing that he's senile. I just don't understand what you're complaining about. You want more discussion about it. Okay, how are you gauging the level of discussion? You don't see enough threads on hexbear.net about it? Are you suggesting we're not talking about it on purpose, just to vex you or that we're too liberal to tell the truth? Are you not seeing enough about it on reddit? Is it the lack of mainstream media coverage you're talking about?

          I keep asking you what you want or how you're coming to your conclusions and you aren't explaining. You just keep saying it's not being talked about enough. Are you under the impression that talking about stuff is the engine of history? Like if we talk about it more then Biden will go away and we'll only have 35 year old presidents from now on? It's America. We don't need anymore Presidents. It's a bad form of government regardless of who plays the figurehead.
