        What exactly is the legitimate point that is being made in the tweet posted here?

        Also I'm just gonna make here a non-exhaustive list, in no particular order, of things that help the chuds drive the narrative:

        • the forces of capital are on their side and funding their outlets

        • leftists keep giving them attention

        I'm not even from "the west", it's just over the past few weeks there's been a huge increase in chud twitter being posted here. Is the point legitimate? Of course, it's fucking Joe Biden, a beyond useless and straight up genocidal imperialist. Can the point be made without constantly posting chud twitter? Yes of course it can and leftists should be constantly making it. I actually think that this website constantly posting right wing twitter makes your point much better, USA leftists so weak and disenfranchised that they have to resort to the fucking Washington Examiner to make their point for them instead of doing it themselves

          There isn't even a point being made here, it's just a no-context quote that people are assuming means something that they already believed.

          Tldr: some of y'all are getting played.

        It's more that people's personal hatred of democrats are blinding their critical thinking skills. Democrats are shit, we don't need to hate them to see they're bad.

        Edit: I feel like i need to rephrase that. It's fine to hate them, but we need to use material analysis to criticise them instead of getting blinded by our hatred while criticising them.

      Take a look. I've quoted it with abundant context below. Emphasis mine

      https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/01/22/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-american-rescue-plan-and-signing-of-executive-orders/

      The American Rescue Plan also includes economic relief for most Americans who are in need. We’re going to finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in direct payments to folks. Six hundred dollars, which was already passed, is simply not enough if you still have to choose between paying your rent and putting food on the table.

      We’ll extend unemployment insurance benefits for millions of workers, beyond the deadline that is now set. It means that 16 million Americans who are currently relying on unemployment benefits while they look for work can count on these checks continuing to be there in the middle of this crisis.

      The American Rescue Plan also addresses the growing housing crisis in America. Approximately 14 million Americans — 14 million — have fallen behind on rent, and many risk eviction. If we fail to act, there’ll be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on, because there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months. So, look, this would overwhelm emergency shelters and increase COVID-19 infections as people have nowhere to go and are socially — can’t socially distance.

      The American Rescue Plan asks Congress to provide rental assistance for millions of hard-hit families and tenants. This will also be a bridge to economic recovery for countless mom-and-pop landlords who can’t afford not to have the rent.

        So as it turns out, this supposedly damning statement that the right wing Washington Examiner quoted was in fact part of Biden accurately describing one of the many problems that lie before us.

        I am shocked--absolutely shocked--by this discovery.
