    Criticism of Biden led to his corporate donors losing confidence in him and pushing him to drop out, and now we’re in a better position than we were. It’s all the liberals who insisted on sticking with Biden despite knowing he was the worst possible candidate who could have cost us the election.

        Context is everything. Biden dropping out was always a possibility, Kamala dropping out is not. Criticism of Kamala instead has the effect of communicating the values of the electorate to her so she can respond accordingly. Supporting her uncritically only communicates that she can be as shitty as she wants as long as she isn’t as shitty as Trump.

          This seems like a tactic better employed after the election. Like immediately after. We have an entire term to steer her left through criticism with the pressure of reelection.

          But the more pressing issue before that is beating the christofacists, which is better served through big tent support. Context is everything.
