I agree with your sentiment. I just like to not downplay how important optics are. As much as I’m sure we both wish people were logical and informed, neither are true about most people.
Regardless of how good Biden presently is, he is working with a colored history. It genuinely sucks some people cannot look past the tree for the forest, but that’s how people work.
Unless we don’t want a democracy where people get a voice, we HAVE to deal with idiots and gaslit zealots being in the audience. As unreachable as the extremists are, there is still a HUGE swathe of people who are succeptible to what the extremists say.
Biden specifically, I think people are being too judgemental and dismissive on those parts of the left who refuse to vote for him.
“The left” isn’t as divided as you might think. It’s a political realm that contains multitudes of people. Many, many people are simply disaffected with Republicans and Democrats and aren’t sycophantic weirdos latching on to a personality.
As people get more and more familiar with what actually constitutes leftist positions, the only “infighting” there will be will be between those who want to use authority and force to get their way, and those that don’t.
I think we both know what to call people who want to use force to effect their politics.
