    I’m gonna go and check what are the top 3 posts for the past week in !politics@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world

    Okay fuck. None of it is anti Biden. However, story number 4 is “Nancy Pelosi Among 40 House Democrats Demanding Biden Halt Weapon Transfers to Israel.” +486 upvotes, -15 downvotes

    Seems like if it’s criticism that makes sense, people are fine with it, and if it’s just an excuse to throw poop nuggets at him, people don’t like it. For example I’m not really aware of any significant contingent that thinks it’s anything other than horrifying that Biden is supporting Israel in its genocide.

        Nice pivot. Meanwhile, over in some other thread, happened the mirror image exchange:

        A: Biden is (horrible thing the Republicans did) on purpose! We can’t trust him!

        B: Here’s why he’s not actually doing that thing, with evidence

        A: New topic! Lemmy is a monolith, you all just reject any criticism of Biden!
