    Was it the New York Times? It was probably the Times. Or maybe they’ve been MAGA all along. Or they hate that Joe Biden did progressive things.

    They’re a dedicated pro-Democratic outlet, and over the years you can even tell that sometimes they try to put a good spin on things they themselves are flustered by. The idea that they’re somehow not good enough Democrats is insane.

      No, they clearly don’t know all the wonderful things Biden has done. Let me see if I can find a copypasta list that gives him credit for Obama’s accomplishments, has duplicate entries, and counts proposals as accomplishments.

        Jesus. What the fuck do these people want. This isn’t a way to build a winning coalition. Actually kind of reminds me of the online Bernie accounts. “Winning” is attacking ideological allies in the most obnoxious ways possible. If you do it hard enough, they’ll definitely realize they were wrong and submit. And I kind of feel like both leaders, or maybe someone along the information chain, like it, because despite it being so obviously bad for their campaign they don’t/didn’t freak the fuck out and try to quash it.

          It’s a term that’s been around since at least the 2016 election. It’s the Dems equivalent of Trump MAGA supporters but Blue.
