I feel like this needs like a FAQ entry or something at this point.

Look at this thing I found on the front page -- it's Biden doing something that's both dumb and evil, and the top voted comment is cursing at him about it and calling him a dickhead.

Look at this thing where I said "at this rate, all the Palestinians will be dead before he works his way slowly and gradually around to the idea that maybe he’ll have to do more than a sternly worded phone call with Netanyahu in order for the killing to stop." and got a bunch of upvotes.

Criticism of Biden is very obviously fine. In many cases it’s wildly popular, because the people here bear no resemblance to the “blue MAGA” model you and your cohort are trying to perfectly organically promote into the discourse. But, in the manner of emotional manipulators everywhere, you are falling back on some objectively false explanation for why people are disagreeing with you. Because, it’s hard to directly argue against what they’re actually saying, but it’s easy to create a fiction where they are being stupid and unreasonable.

Criticism of Biden is fine but I'm seeing criticism without condeming Putin and only like 5 Republicans so you're a Russian troll!
