Sure, but harm reduction does not need to infringe on critique of the current executive branch. If criticizing Biden is enough to make Trump win, then he has already won. Biden does not need to be more than a union buster for me to detest him, and still he is more crappy than that. I am not saying he is the worst, but I do not hate myself or my comrades enough to aim that low for the role of the most powerful man in the world.

Yeah. I’ve been criticizing Biden for abetting a genocide quite a bit; I think you can find some comment where I compared the Biden State Department to the Nazis.
That said, total bullshit criticism like “union buster” I tend to be against. You can find other links in this comment section where I talk about it and link to some explanation of his historic support for labor and specifically how it related to his breaking the rail strike and the events after, but here’s an article which talks about it more broadly.
If someone shows up and says “HITLER HAD THREE EYES” I’m like, no, he didn’t, he had two. If someone shows up and says Biden hates labor, I say, no he doesn’t, and then I give some explanation why. If they then say “HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT HITLER/BIDEN WHEN HE DID A GENOCIDE,” I can point them to some comments where I also said that genocide is bad, but at the end of the day Hitler still had two eyes.
This system where any “support” for Biden by talking about good facts about Biden, when he’s also yes assisted the US’s longstanding policy of helping the Israelis kill brown people, is a Republican-like thing. If someone says a good thing about a Democrat they say “HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THEM WHEN THEY’RE A MARXIST / CHILD MOLESTER / WHATEVER.” I don’t operate that way. Telling the truth is not a forbidden act, even if it crosses up the lines you’ve chosen for who the allies and enemies are.
For me anything short of ending capitalism is not pro labour, but I will not mistake you for being pro genocide for disagreeing. Have seen @[email protected] around a few times, and sometimes they do keep their brain somewhere else than their head, sometimes not. The above seems to be one of the former.

I’m just interested in reality, is all.

If that means I am “singing praises” then sure.
