A lot of people don't understand that you can be critical of a political candidate while still supporting them.

Sir. This is the internet. Please keep your rational ideas to yourself.

I think that “rational” is the key word. People online can’t seem to have rational discussions.

Criticism of Biden quickly turns into a toxic hate fest, with rabid disagreements. How the heck are we supposed to see this as “ critical of a political candidate while still supporting them.”?

Meanwhile I try to say I like a lot of what he’s done, except for x, y, z, and get mobbed by a bunch of thugs with pipes and broken bottles. How can I take this as we’re saying the same thing?

in this case not of a specific candidate, but of the system itself that always fails to prevent fascists from gaining ground and always fails to present options that anyone but fascists like.
