9. You think those that found every single little thing to criticize Biden about didn't impact voters?

I always thought it sounded so ridiculous when people would be like, "here's why I hate Hillary and you should too, but you should still vote for her" and it sounds even worse when Biden is substituted in there. Especially after all the good that Biden did and all that he was able to accomplish.

And even if "no speech criticizing a leader is allowed" was the standard used under Biden, we still wouldn't be as close to a fucking fascist takeover as we are today, so I don't want to hear that either.

As people always say, you are free to say what you want -- well, apparently not under this Trump administration given his crackdown on protests, but alas... -- but with it comes responsibilities and it doesn't absolve you from the consequences of your words. And the consequence of so many supposed allies on the left criticizing Biden instead of appreciating all that he was able to accomplish and defending him and his progressive administration? The consequence is the fascist regime we now have in office.
