    If someone’s using it as an argument “Here’s why we need to get involved in political activism and improve the Democratic party,” then it makes perfect sense. Biden did good, but the Democrats are far from what we need.

    If someone’s using it as an argument “Why not just abandon the idea of influencing politics at all, even if that means letting the Republicans have a turn smashing up the country we all live in to sell it as scrap for them and their friends while killing anyone who disagrees, because what’s the worst that could happen, Dems suck anyway lol,” they are either trying to help the Republicans or they’ve been fooled by the people who are trying to help the Republicans. They will, in the next few years, be able to have a terrifying and tragic object lesson in what the worst that could happen is.
