My more liberal friends haven’t liked Biden basically since the start. He was just the only option against Trump, whom they hate (a wonderful position our duopoly has put us all into). I will never be a fan of anyone that cheerleads for politicians though. It’s cringe to me. They work for us, not the other way around.

If Kamala actually comes out fully against the genocide in Gaza that Biden has been recklessly fueling, that will be a good sign. We need at least one Democrat to break this status quo mold bullshit.

By "hardline dems" I don't mean "more liberal" or "more leftist", I mean the "You criticized the official party line? Behold, I will immediately misrepresent what you said and paint you as an enemy". They're actually preventing their own party from becoming more effective.

Yeah imagine doing that
