I'll say it again:
... is not punching left.
Someone from the pro-Biden camp directing some kind of "punching" at someone who hadn't already brought Biden into the argument themselves, from an anti perspective, would be punching left. Someone "punching" at Biden (which terminology I don't even really agree with), and then there's a response "actually here's why I don't think that's true," is not punching.
Surely that makes sense?
Or, like I said, someone from the establishment-Democrat camp who directs condemnation at someone who's literally just trying to stick up for the Palestinians, because it makes Biden look bad. That would be punching left, and that definitely happens from Democratic politicians and in the MSM. I'm saying I haven't seen any of that on Lemmy.
Surely that makes sense? IDK, maybe not. But that what I said up there is my viewpoint on it. Hope it's helpful.
