Biden has done his job, I think Bernie would have been better, but at least it isn’t Trump.
Bernie would have done worse, especially considering the tight Congress and House he would’ve had in either Trump’s or Biden’s presidency. Biden has been beyond exceptional with being the voice of reason for the few elected Republicans that will cross the aisle who aren’t full on brainwashed by Trump goose stepping their way into a fascist theocracy.
Bernie Bros including myself who voted for him every chance I got, which was exactly once, would’ve also gotten a swift kick in the realities regarding why the three separations of powers is thing. There’s a reason Bernie didn’t run a second time.
Yup. He’s not perfect and has a ton of major issues that articles like “just say he’s super awesome ok!” Are trying to paper over.
Most notably for me is the dogged support for Israel and continuing the trump era border policies.
He’s been progressive on a lot of stuff, but he’s also not the perfect leader. And frankly, this realization should be common. It’s disturbing when any media wants to deify political leaders. Feels like “come on Democrats, why can’t you be fascist like the right is?”
Simping for Genocide Joe.
That’s be a yikes from me dawg.
If we gaslight ourselves hard enough, maybe we’ll be happy.
Stop confusing democrats/liberals with leftists.
Democrats will probably almost universally agree that he’s been a good president. Tribalism is a hell of a drug.
It’s the leftists that won’t. And speaking as a leftist, he’s done a lot better than I thought he was going to. He ended up pushing for more progressive ideas than I thought he would. Good for him. He’s been stymied by the courts and his own party on some of them. And that why I, as a leftist, think the democratic party is still (less) trash. They had a majority for two years. Did some stuff. Could have done more. You can be all “but but Manchin/Sinema” all you want, but I’ll bet all the money in my pocket against all the money in your pocket, than if Manchin and Sinema were to announce that yes, they’d vote to abolish the filibuster, there would be two other democratic senators who would come out and say no. And that’s fine as it relates to their world view. They’re liberals. They’re not leftists.
Yeah he’s better than trump for sure
A blind and crippled hedgehog would be better than trump
He’s nowhere close to great. Hes run back much of his campaign promises and he’s funding a genocide. The best thing he could do is say he’s not running and throw his support behind someone actually progressive and actually not half senile
For some reason I feel like these articles are written by people for whom covid was their first real brush with death
Fuck that. Genocide Joe has not been great. Fuck this shit
That’s just a side effect of being American
God its so fucking tone deaf to post shit like this. It’s one thing to reluctantly support Biden but to cheerlead him while he massacres thousands is beyond gross.
cheerlead him while he massacres thousands
Please, lecture us about tone deafness.
More of this disconnected messaging. “You’re not struggling, look at this graph.” “Please ignore his role in a active genocide.” I get people want to beat Trump but being dishonest doesn’t help.
I mean, he’s just left-lite.
Make Brandon Dark Again
is the profiteer of a few wars on his election campaign now?
So many butthurt socialists!
Nah, fuck that, he’s part of a major genocide and that’s his legacy. We will remember his failures for all time.
Was he a better president than his opponent? Yeah, but it’s a low fucking bar.
Background: I supported Bernie in the 2016 primaries; I ended up voting for Hillary. In 2020, Biden wasn’t even my 3rd pick in the Primaries (Warren, Sanders, maybe Buttigieg and even Steyer.). I still voted Biden, despite a clear lack of enthusiasm because I know how much easier it is to break and corrupt things than to simply maintain it or build upon a trillion-piece puzzle.
Overall, Biden has been a pretty great President if only for one simple fact: The genuine experience and expertise of his cabinet. When I think of Donnie, I think of Bill Barr, Richard Spencer, Mike Pompeo, and other scum of his cabinet. These people are psychopathic, smarter than Trump, and dangerous. While they’re incompetent in their actual roles, they leveraged their offices to incredibly nefarious ends.
The true stars of Biden’s administration has been his advisors and cabinet: Blinken, Yellen, Garland, Austin, Kirby, Bill Burns, Jake Sullivan, etc. These are the people that keep the machine running. Who actually take advice from reputable experts in respective fields, like Dr. Fauci.
So yes, given the bigger picture, Biden has been a great President; partly because of stability; partly because of contrast with chaos.
And folks, yes, it’s campaign season now. Expect a massive influx of ads and opinion pieces and a general attempt to drum up energy and awareness to a crucial election. Don’t shoot yourselves in the foot; the right has massive megaphones of propaganda they’re using every single fucking day to distort reality. Don’t be afraid to push back.
Look at all of this manufactured outrage! It’s glorious! So many people so upset over events that happen in a country they couldn’t have pointed to on a map six months ago, nor were even remotely aware there was even issues there.
