Tuesday's primaries in Wisconsin, New York and Connecticut showed there is such strong disapproval of Biden's support for the Israeli assault on Gaza that it could cost him the general election.
I’m doing one better than them: providing a positive step/solution towards improvement.
What’s the point of being in a community when it’s always a couple people screaming their discontent? They’re getting down voted beyond 0 often, yet they persist?
It means the community has spoken and maybe it’s time for someone to step in. If posters can’t not just neg all over a community, someone should step in.

If that’s how you justify your inaction to yourself, so be it. But everyone can see through that justification for what it really is; classic internet complaining about the content other people post with no willingness to change the community outside of dictating to others what should be done.

I agree. If they have this much anger about it, I’d think they’d do something.
As humans, I think, we evolved feelings and emotions because they inform what we do. Ideally. If we sit in the feeling, we’re not gaining value. Some feelings (like grief)… there’s less a person can do.
But anger, frustration, love, sympathy, all these things, I’d think, are best when they lead us somewhere. Especially if it’s productive (which requires other brain systems).
We can do better.
There’s no community to create for people who wish people who need a community had one.

It looks odd that no one has.

FTFY.

Generalizing your statement a bit and hoping that’s okay. Because I agree generally and specifically.
They are allowed. And I am. And you are. Now we’re both hypocrites.
We all disapprove. My point isn’t that they shouldn’t have the opinion, it’s that it seems like they’re stopping there.
And by pushing the same incomplete typically negative narrative, it’s not helping. It’s wallowing. It’s feeling as an endpoint.
There is no community to create for people who want to see people who need a community create one.
There is a place for saying, “okay, cool. What now?”
So far, it’s mostly complaint. No call to action. It’s as if the feeling is the point. And that seems odd.
The main call to action has been to not vote for Biden. There has been that one.
