ABF, they have legs to stand on. "Europe" is not a monolith, and a country isn't either. Individual free people have every right adding criticism, because here's the thing. Trump didn't get elected by accident. Heck you could even argue he didn't get "elected", but that's an inditement of our entire electoral process. If it happened once, it can happen again. Biden really isn't all that special. He's a right leaning centrist, not a progressive, who happens to be doing a number of things I actually agree with recently. Our country is STILL doing some very unfortunate things that deserve criticism. Even right now, if anyone says anything negative about the current government of Israel, they are labelled as anti-Semitic. It's a lazy and insulting thing to do, when that government really is committing war crimes and of course, criticizing a government is not the same as criticizing the people that government lead.
Oh and don't grasp at straws. Saying "I support Ukraine" is pretty easy when the alternative is supporting a country that is a direct threat to your own. That isn't "good", it's self preservation.
...Hillary Clinton celebrated her election as "progression" because she's a woman. What a foolish thing to do! As though half the population of Italy didn't contain literally a single female candidate that WASN'T a fascist they could have picked instead. This is the danger of "tokenism".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
