    Joe Biden is a hero for beating Donnie and making his win stick, which was harder than he made it look.

    If Biden can put Donnie away for good, they will be making a monument to him.

    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.

    I agree that he has been a good president - the most progressive president in 50 years (yes, I realize that’s a bullshit statement since there have been no even-close-to-progressive presidents). For those who think he’s demented, please listen to his interview on Conan O’Brien’s podcast. He’s phenomenally engaging and has a great wit and memory.

    democrats think he’s been a great president cause it funds the war machine. leftists agree he’s been a shit president because he went back on pretty much all his promises, fucked over striking workers, fucked over the bbb, and is ofc funding a genocide.

    Trump sucks but fuck genocide Joe man

    He’s a great president whenever his brain is functioning, so at least 0.3% of his total tenure so far.

    Somehow still a better pick than DJT. What a fucking world we live in. Fuck the democrat trash for fucking over all other potential nominee’s in favour of the guy who’s one stressful situation away from a fucking aneurysm.

    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, 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.

    This is why we have trump. Biden hasn’t been a great president, he has had a great presidency. The man who is president is a small part of the equation. By attributing it all to him instead of all the people in the administration, in congress, and to just to where the world was at the time, we reinforce a culture where people praise guys like trump, and musk, and other billionaires. All of them were mostly lucky. They had some special skills to take advantage of thier luck that others don’t, but without the luck, they would be nobody. Stop praising people for the work of many and good luck.
