...I was appalled at the low attention span and disinterest of many Democrats I encountered during that campaign toward what Dems were actually saying or doing, relying on mostly misleading projections, instead, to form their criticisms.

Many seemed to believe that they had all the room and time in the world to get around to actually confronting republicans, instead of just critiquing a Dem campaign which should have been more than good enough for everyone.

There wasn't a lot of Dem unity in that election, starting with actual Dem legislators hounding the incumbent president out, instead of just bulling through the critics.

I believe many of those same people who cut and ran from Biden are still threatening the party today with the same hypercritical diverting away from what Democrats are actually doing, saying, and accomplishing..
