Calling it a gotcha that I "critique Biden policies after voting for him" is what's wrong with US politics today.

Voting for him doesn't mean I can't critique him—it's literally the best reason to be critical. It's called holding electeds accountable. It's how democracy works. And it’s how political parties work when they aren’t cults.

@QasimRashid @Popehat well gee, what a man! You voted for him. BFD. Now you get to rile the torch bearers to come back. Your intellect is nonexistent

@rkleim @QasimRashid @Popehat demanding silence from voters is the refuge of despots, not the disinfecting sunlight sought by defenders of a functional democracy.

If Biden can’t take criticism from even those who voted for him, he’s not fit for the job.
