Has anyone noticed how the loudest voices on the "left" who are most upset with Biden pardoning his son are also the ones that wanted to push him out of the race?

Begged him to drop out, helped elect a dictator that wants to execute his family, and they're like "Why did Biden do this to us?"

“We all just need to work with the fascists so they stop being as fascists” is neoliberal cope
You can’t work with fascists you can only defy them openly and loudly with mass numbers or outright destroy them through force. Anything less ensures the end of democracy.

Dems beat Trump by a lot more in 2020 than he beat us in 2024, and the GOP didn't hand-wring about the need to find common ground with us. They treated us like enemies of the entire country and a critical mass of voters were convinced. "We need to compromise and accommodate" is not the lesson here.
