If you criticize people even for doing neutral or good things (like voting to cut military funding), it detracts from actually valid criticism. Even if you don't like a person, you shouldn't dunk on them for no reason. Boy who cried wolf and all that.
If nothing else, it's just boring. If you're gonna dunk just for the sake of dunking, at least keep it in the dunk tank.
He made a conscious political choice to fold his social democratic movement into the Biden campaign and it's totally killed any sort of legislation he was pushing for. The only valid argument for not burning down the party was "hey, we might be able to get stuff done if we play nice", that was criticized at the time and it turned out to be a fucking disaster at a time where the left should be posturing itself away from the failures of this liberal administration. Fuck that old man and anyone dumb enough to still defend him.
Yes, I 100% agree with that comment, as it is criticizing him for an actually bad thing he did.
For some reason, this site assumes I'm a succdem whenever I call out stupid criticisms of succdems. You'd think my use of the word "succdem" would suggest something about what I think about them, but that's that.
I just don't like baseless criticisms of people, especially when there's valid criticisms to be made.
