    I don’t understand who’s downvoting this article, except for maybe those who didn’t read it and are only downvoting the headline.

    If anyone’s downvoting it after actually reading the whole piece, I wonder what they found objectionable about it.

      I’m getting heavily downvoted for even suggesting it’s worth reporting on what the President is doing. Either this sub is full of reactionaries, or people are terrified that saying anything negative about Biden will cause Trump to get elected. I’m as nervous as anyone else about Trump, but I think we should acknowledge that Biden has done harm with his staunch support for Israel over the last year. But maybe we can’t expect people to appreciate balance at this point in the election cycle when the stakes are so high.

      This community will basically downvote basically anything critical of Biden/Harris, regardless of how relevant, informative or whatever. I have even seen poll results downvoted because they were bad news.

      Because of course if you pretend something doesn’t exist the problem just goes away.
