Tuesday's primaries in Wisconsin, New York and Connecticut showed there is such strong disapproval of Biden's support for the Israeli assault on Gaza that it could cost him the general election.
No. The people who have all that grievance and time… They can do that as a show that they’re trying to be part of the solution.
Or… They can keep actively working to suppress voter turn out or enthusiasm for other genuinely good candidates. Because all they’re pushing is negative press.
You clearly don’t care enough about it if you’re only willing to complain and not be the change you expect out of others.

It probably takes less to post an article that supports the point you want to make than it does to get into whiney slap fights in the comments, and that’s definitely going to be more productive too.
I’m doing one better than them: providing a positive step/solution towards improvement.
What’s the point of being in a community when it’s always a couple people screaming their discontent? They’re getting down voted beyond 0 often, yet they persist?
It means the community has spoken and maybe it’s time for someone to step in. If posters can’t not just neg all over a community, someone should step in.

If that’s how you justify your inaction to yourself, so be it. But everyone can see through that justification for what it really is; classic internet complaining about the content other people post with no willingness to change the community outside of dictating to others what should be done.

I agree. If they have this much anger about it, I’d think they’d do something.
As humans, I think, we evolved feelings and emotions because they inform what we do. Ideally. If we sit in the feeling, we’re not gaining value. Some feelings (like grief)… there’s less a person can do.
But anger, frustration, love, sympathy, all these things, I’d think, are best when they lead us somewhere. Especially if it’s productive (which requires other brain systems).
We can do better.
There’s no community to create for people who wish people who need a community had one.

It looks odd that no one has.
So, make your own lemmy instance so you can moderate it.
People are allowed to express their discontent with Biden. Even if it costs ‘us’ the election.
If you feel there should be more positive Biden stories, post them. You’ll have my upvotes.
Generalizing your statement a bit and hoping that’s okay. Because I agree generally and specifically.
They are allowed. And I am. And you are. Now we’re both hypocrites.
We all disapprove. My point isn’t that they shouldn’t have the opinion, it’s that it seems like they’re stopping there.
And by pushing the same incomplete typically negative narrative, it’s not helping. It’s wallowing. It’s feeling as an endpoint.
There is no community to create for people who want to see people who need a community create one.
There is a place for saying, “okay, cool. What now?”
So far, it’s mostly complaint. No call to action. It’s as if the feeling is the point. And that seems odd.
The main call to action has been to not vote for Biden. There has been that one.
If that’s how you justify your inaction to yourself, so be it. But everyone can see through that justification for what it really is; classic internet complaining about the content other people post with no willingness to change the community outside of dictating to others what should be done.
FTFY.
