MODERATORS
This is the guy (whom I proudly voted for) who was getting defensive because people didn't think he was as progressive as they were led to believe. The people criticizing Biden and Fetterman are typically liberals and progressives, not MAGA.
I think Joe Biden is grossly under-appreciated for what he's accomplished thus far. He's legit incredible (imo). He's also old as shit and I reject the idea that he's the only American citizen capable of running the country as well as he has for three years. Dude, take the W and GTFO.
Any progressives who actually pay attention to what the government is doing and not just Republican propaganda are probably also supporting Biden.
He's not been perfect. I wish he was younger, and i have criticisms on a lot of middle east foreign policy including Israel, but on the whole he's been by far the most progressive president in my lifetime.
You can support someone while criticizing them.
I don't think Joe Biden is underappreciated, it's just that the main issue is of Gaza War, and people just don't like how Israel conduct their war campaign and how US responded. No one reasonable would support Hamas, and any people with a moral compass would rather support a war campaign that minimizes deaths of civilians over those who signed up for combat.
But the reality check is that Gaza isn't the main issue, it's just the most recent one. And even if it were the GOP would handle it far worse than Biden has.
I'm saying the Gaza war is why Biden has the level of support that he has today, and I'm aware that GOP would have handled it far worse. Without the issue of Gaza, I can see Biden having significantly more support than he has now.
That's a good point but most people care more about the economy and his approval ratings were shit before Gaza.
