You don’t think Biden would criticize a KKK march? A neo Nazi march? Biden criticized Jan 6. How about an anti lgbtq march? Westboro baptist?
I’m just saying, you’re considering this one instance and painting with too broad a brush. Have you only been alive for trump and Biden? Not all US presidents endorse everything bad. They even stand up against a lot of them, typically. Your comment just reads like you’re really young and can’t think past Israel. There are plenty of things neoliberals are at least performatively on the moral side of—social issues, anyway. 2/3 past presidents would’ve spoken out against a lot of things you (most likely) hate.
I didn’t say presidents always condemn good things either. Most things, good and bad, don’t make it to the national level in the first place. I’m not saying Biden wouldn’t condemn a racist rally. I’m saying presidents as a political position, not any individual, rarely condemn anything that is regressive or reactionary. To my knowledge, not even Obama condemned the racist bullshit directed at him after winning. People were hanging racist effigies from trees.
Well… to be fair the sitting President at the time didn’t object to the the Charlottesville Nazi march, January 6th, etc, but tear-gassed an invited crowd at a church protesting the murder of black people.
It’s a slogan, not a factual statement. I’d be interested to hear about other protests condemned for being a truly bad cause. The only one that comes to mind is the insurrection. The Charlottesville rally saw only the antifascist counterprotestors get condemned.
When presidents start condemning your protests, you’re probably fighting for a good cause.
….wwwelllll…. I’d be careful painting with too broad a brush there, partner.
Adding “partner” automatically reduces your birth year by 30 years.
Say what
I was unable to come up with more than 1 example in the last 10 years, so it feels like a pretty safe slogan.

your opinions are bad and you should feel bad
Are you saying that because you understand what I’m saying and disagree, or because you haven’t grasped the nuance in my statement?

Right. So the original persons point of drawing criticism from presidents isn’t at all tied to what’s inherently right or wrong.
Uh, History? Let me stop you right there.
10 years seems like plenty of context.

Nazis.
Westboro Baptist Church.
NAMBLA.
Boom, three examples without even trying.
Which nazi protests? Which wbc protests? Which NAMBLA protests?
implying theres such thing as a good nazi protest? pardon?
Where the hell did you get that from? I’m asking for examples of any president condemning a Nazi protest. I can’t think of any time that’s occurred.
sorry, misinterpreted this before the edit was made
