129. this one is not anathema
Fri Oct 7, 2022, 01:18 PM
Oct 2022

and the real issue is that does the criticism help the division of Democrats and help the right wing. Nobody says all criticism is terrible. We've been through this with Obama too. When there is a Democratic president, we need to support them so that the rest of the voters, the ones who are influenced by the general tone, don't get even more negativity for the Democratic President than the media already gives them.
