    I had Thanksgiving with folks who are my age (middle age) and consider themselves lefties. One of them proceeded to fully defend Biden, tolerating no critiques, and take a dump on me for working for the federal government (as a low-level wage worker, wtf). This isn’t just an “old person” problem but I am glad to see Reid calling it out like this. Total crap.

      A lot of democrats consider themselves leftists, that shouldn’t be surprising by now.

    Joy Reid is inseparable from the establishment/corporate DNC. Her words are worse than meaningless, they’re intentionally disingenuous.

      Isn’t she the one who wrote homophobic stuff on her blog and then tried to pretend she didn’t like we’re all stupid?

        It’s so much funnier than that. She claimed she was hacked, and that the homophobic blogs were planted by said hackers.

        If I recall correctly, she even hired some fraudulent and/or idiotic cybersecurity consultant to bolster her claims.
