        On the contrary. You absolutely should. I upvoted because I thought it was funny. I commented because I’m concerned some people can’t distinguish criticism and protest from voter disengagement.

          This is my problem with this sort of post too. Do I think Biden could do better and deserves some criticism? Yes. Do I think there are people out there who, if convinced that Biden deserves criticism, would decide not to vote? Also yes. Am I terrified of the potential outcome of that? VERY MUCH YES.

            100%. If a government representative’s policy is not in line with my personal views, I openly criticize. There’s too much party loyalty in the US compelling people to form their opinions around the actions of their party. We owe them no loyalty, they owe us representation.
