I’m mostly half-serious.

  • It needs to be said. If we can’t acknowledge how contradicting narratives were fed to us within the same month, then it shows an alarming lack of cognitive dissonance on our part.

    There are people on Lemmy who argued that Biden is not our best bet against Trump; they were told that Biden was the best that the party can do and that there was not enough time to replace Biden. Now, we’re all supposed to move on like that didn’t just happen.

    That said, I am pleasantly surprised to see the community admitting the mistake. I assumed this post would be downvoted heavily but the post felt necessary for the reasons above.

    This is a completely disingenuous response that I keep hearing. Yes, it being an election year intensifies the problem. But Lemmy’s intolerance to criticism of anything left-wing pre-dates 2024. Go back a year ago and look at the posts on politicalmemes@lemmy.world . Same shit different day.

    The fact that everyone is paying attention to politics right now actually makes it a great time to call the democrats on their shit in the hopes that they will at least promise to make more foundational changes. But that’s not going to happen: we continue to settle for the status quo.
