      No. He’s not good, just not the worst to anyone with a reasonable viewpoint. I don’t like him, but he’s ironically less terrible than most politicians, even those that claim to be to his left. As VP, he was often more left wing than Hillary and Obama on international issues. He came out in support of gay marriage before Obama, and has been more left wing as president. He’s less wealthy than previous presidents, and despite Republican attempts to find evidence of any short of corruption, Biden’s sins mostly come from incompetence. He was my last choice in the primary, but less because he was evil and more because he wasn’t good.

      Unless you want Russian victory in Europe and mass violence and perpetual domestic terrorism in the US 👍

      Have enough guile to see past any impulse that didn’t come from, to you, any identifiable source. And if your impulses run categorically parallel to Russian propaganda, and make you behave like a Russian (rapists, sneak murders, child thieves by the 100,000s and counting; centuries of psychopathy) and you align yourself with the Kremlin, whether or not accidental, congratulations, you are a target of anyone with a soul who cares about the safety and prosperity of life on Earth and we will put you in the zone or the ground.

      Everyday footage of the cleansing in Ukraine fills me with a dream for the liberation of the United States from the MPE (Mass Psychosis Event) we’ve been laboring through. With each day I can see the future is ready, willing and eager to be shaped by those willing to accept it on its terms, NOT the terms of a Demagogue or Despot.

      Russia will not exist after 2100 because old school evil won’t survive the coming wave after wave of truth and consequences.

      My main concern isn’t even that he’s doing a good or bad job, it’s that he’s clearly a dementia patient and shouldn’t be in that position to being with. I had a grandfather who had alzheimers, which is a more severe kind of dementia that just gets worse, and having seen even a glimpse of it due to my parents keeping me out of view of the more severe “episodes”, I really think he shouldn’t be in office at all. Not to mention that dementia has a very high chance of turning into alzheimers, meaning that, if Bidens dementia does turn, he’s only gonna get worse and worse and worse until he can’t even make a sound.

        The office of the president is more than one person. It entails his cabinet and the rest of the appointment apparatus as well as any ramifications for SC nominations. You think the orange Twitter all caps guy with “look my uncle having known nuclear” is better? There are downstream effects that are real beyond this bizarre talking point about dementia that keeps getting parroted. At the minimum be consistent in your logic ffs.

        I wanted to add this extra bit, it seems that Biden would be in the third stage of dementia, with symptoms being: Losing things and minor memory loss, getting lost while traveling, difficulty finding the right words, verbal repetition, and trouble with complex tasks and problem solving.

      Either you all are being intentionally disingenuous, or you’re significantly misinformed. There’s a difference between passive support of a ally doing terrible things and actively starting a war yourself and doing terrible things.

          Thanks for being sincere. I only used the term passive in the sense that we’re not sending our own troops over to actively participate. I agree with you on the money transfer issue. I also consider it noteworthy that a lot of the legislation for Israel financial support not only excludes support for Ukraine, but requires the funds to be diverted from useful domestic purposes.

              My point is that you’re making a false equivalency by comparing the two and just saying they’re both bad. Adding Trudeau to the mix doesn’t change that. Sure, you can compare him to Biden, but comparing both to Putin is disingenuous.

              It’s like saying a papercut and a severed artery are both bad. One is significantly worse than the other.

      I held my nose and voted for him. All of the folks in my social circle did the same, as did most of my peers at work. Everybody hates him - actually seems like those of us that voted for him hate him more because we expected something useful from him and he’s given us jack shit fuck all. The couple of Trumpers in the office don’t seem to hate Biden nearly as much as all of us who voted for that worthless prick.

      If it’s a choice between him or Trump yeah I’ll vote Biden again because that’s like asking would you rather forcibly be given herpes or have your dick chopped off and thrown in a camp fire. They both suck but I guess I’ll take herpes thanks

        “not perfect” is what I’d call the best democrats personally. On a good day. Joe Biden is enabling genocide, building Trump’s wall, and letting republicans attempt to legislate people like me out of existence -plus he’s been shitting the bed on covid-19 since day one. I do NOT think he falls into that category being as he’s a self-proclaimed centrist and capitalist and I think he deserves FAR greater scrutiny considering he stole the democratic nomination in 2020 from the massively-more-popular-among-constituents Sanders and moved the goalposts for the party further right, and maybe even the whole country

      I believe the implication is that these people are part of a psy-op from Russia. It was a common theme of online discourse during Trump’s presidency, with some decent factual evidence to back it up iirc. Many pro trump accounts on Twitter were suspected of being operatives, or even just bots, for example.

      It’s kinda stale as a reference, but there is still a significant chance that these kinds of accounts still exist and engage in spreading disinfo.
