Why all the hate for Biden? It’s trump and the republicans that have created this situation, isn’t it?
Biden had so many chances to change the path we are on today. And he squandered every single one of them.
This. At the very least, he could have expanded the SC to 13 and named a bunch of new judges. But nah.
He's an old fart that does things by the book and does them well with mostly good intentions from an outside perspective. He worked within those confines and got shit done in an adversarial environment. He didn't anticipate the fuck-the-book approach that is now allowing trump to flagrantly ignore the constitution.
Had he known he may have reoriented his strategies. But that's hindsight right? Also fuck him for preventing an actual primary and forcing Kamala on the ticket - that was a known bad approach even without hindsight.
Trump was perfectly transparent about his intentions. If Biden didn't anticipate this he's incompetent and deserves every ounce of hate coming his way.
He ignored plenty of "by the book" ways to avoid our current situation. And he didn't anticipate the approach that Trump had used for the 4 years prior to his presidency? That just proves he's a terrible president.
Trump did it the first time. Why would any person with common sense not believe he would do that again?
Honestly, because we had clear expectations for Biden when he was elected.
Close the inhumane border camps.
Deal with Covid.
Prosecute trump and his collaborators litany of crimes.
In the end, he went 0/3 on those. His legacy is one of shirked responsibility.
Isn't "nothing will fundamentally change" what he said to the donors at a private event? Mission accomplished I guess....
No idea, I don't really give a fuck about a small quote without context said behind closed doors. I care about what issues were facing the nation, and what was done to solve them.
Reminds me of an adage:
That's a bad adage; I wouldn't claim that as a true thing most people believe.
