I'll just leave this here..

Former top Biden Spokesperson for the State Department admits that Israel sabatoged ceasefire deals as US blamed Hamas...

They knowingly lied to America, it seems..I've always been a big Biden fan, but this truly demoralizes me.

and I'd guess the 7 people who rec'd it didn't either.

So you don't think Truthout' is "Dem friendly"?
Well, that would surprise me, given its best known columnist, the late William Rivers Pitt, was a DU member who posted here regularly

5. Lots of nominally Dem-friendly lefties love to bash Dems and subtly undercut them

And it was posted at DU before. Clearly no one can keep track of everything posted here.

6. The accusations of "dems bashing dems" here

are often strictly a matter of opinion and open to dispute. As for the article being posted before, I didn't argue otherwise, I simply said I hadn't seen it and guessed that others hadn't either.
To be frank, The only thing in your post that actually drew my attention was your claim that the article itself was "misleading"....You didn't substantiate this claim then, so please feel free to do so now.

7. well, the piece "demoralized" you about Dems & IMO, that was one intention of the piece

The piece is misleading because it acts like the administration only ever blamed Hamas for the lack of progress in peace, but that's simply not true-- there were ample reports that Israel/Netanyahu were being difficult and blocking ceasefire agreements.
