I don't think the internet is a monolith. I'm trying to point out to leftists the inconsistency of their own narratives. I'm trying to point out that they can't criticize the president for the economy when half their platform is defending their own incumbents on the basis that the executive branch has limited economic impact.

I didn't say it had "nothing to do with Marx". I said it has always defended the ultra rich... which is true. A single statement from a man who's influence on modern Leftism can best be described as a thoroughly debunked thesis to the post-modern antithesis of the 60s and 70s does not a convincing counterargument make, my poor uninformed internet pleb.
my point isn't that leftists agree or disagree. my point is that whatever narrative a Leftist accepts exposes them to unpleasant truths. I don't know how else to be clearer. Either the executive office has direct immediate effects on the economy therefore we should be worried about Trump (but we must also admit that in the past Democratic policies are directly to blame for catastrophes like 2008), or the executive office doesn't have a direct economic impact therefore Biden is not to blame for the current state of affairs (but we must also admit that the current state of affairs has nothing to do with Trump). Anything else is cherry picking.
