Look what happens when you refuse to call out your own side, the GOP has become a complete clown show because of it.

And look what happens when we give ammo to the other side, we lose Al Fucking Franken when we needed him most. The GOP is a hell of a lot more infested with rot than the dems to a degree it is almost an order of magnitude. We can afford to turtle up for a presidency or two.

What we CANNOT afford to do, is the opposite of that.

The other guy is downvoted, but I think you're both right. There's a time and place for both though. Biden needs critics, but the public face still needs to be behind him. I do think this is what's happening however, because Biden has the most boring liberal policies, but his administration hasn't been exactly that. It hasn't been great, but it's been far better than I expected, which I expected just pure pro-business liberal agenda stuff.

The critics need to work moving politics left, but we still need to get voters to elect democrats (not just for president) until there's a realistic alternative. If people just don't vote they aren't just not voting for Biden. They're going to hand the house and senate to Republicans too, which they'll use to probably make the judicial brand even more conservative as well. We really can't have that.
