    I’m not sure it is exactly ‘opposite’ of their point, but Biden being largely on the side of Israel is the reason a lot of leftists have always been unsupportive of him as a president.

    Like most liberals, he gives a lot of lip-service to progressive causes, but ultimately finds excuses to avoid having to really upset the current hegemony. The reason he is unpopular despite his objectively skilled politic-ing around progressive issues (i think) is because more people are seeing liberalism generally as a failed political project and want actual change rather than lip-service and half-measures.

    His support of Israel is only the most pertinent example of his politics clashing violently with reality.
