Biden himself sent the police to do that? Do you have proof that he himself literally said "go tear gas the protesters"? Literally just hours into being sworn president?

Oh you're one of those "mainstream media is all bullshit!!" people who get your "news" from conspiracy blogs and small websites. all of what you said is misinformation and bullshit. do some actual research.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I'm a liberal but I'd like to address this to the leftists. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. In my experience with leftists, they tend to bully others who have opposing opinions. They outright ostracize those who would dare disagree on a few things (like, specifically the merit of socialism) with them even if they agree on many topics. Don't get me wrong, as every single "group" has capacity to turn on "the other". As a group dedicated to people who don't entirely fit into one basket, I think we all recognize this. However, I notice that with leftists in particular that the mere idea of disagreement is seen as a betrayal and a flag to harass, ostracize, and demean.

I have come to my own conclusions that the fall of leftism is its sheer placid loyalty to the premise of the collective. For them, being a part of that collective means agreeing with their interests. I'm not going to paint every leftist in this manner, but it almost feels like that if you go outside of that collective you're seen as the enemy. I see now why socialist and communist countries fail and are routinely human rights disasters. They apply this collectivist approach to government, systems, and people because they think that they - as the collective - are in the right. I have a morbid hunch that with power, this goes from mere ostracization to literal violence. For if you have power and there are those who resist your collective ideology, they must be terminated and thereby killed. We saw it during the Bolshevik revolution for instance: Democratic Socialists were purged because they did not assimilate and had the audacity to believe in democracy despite them being a key figure in helping the Bolsheviks gain power. Again, maybe I'm wrong but I want to parlay this concern to real leftists and not the ones in my head and communicate on whether or not this is a extreme mis-characterization on their part. Thank you.

nope theyre simply pretending like fauci flatly contradicting the president on this never happened and that trump ruined the vaccine distribution also everyones ignoring the fact that its the states that actually administer the vaccine so theres not really very much trump could have done or that biden could do in terms of distribution

i guess maybe biden could tell california and new york to stop being dumbasses about letting doses expire for no reason but no way in hell hes going to say anything negative about another democrat now or ever
