Like, fuck, Biden was like, my third least favorite pick in the 2020 primaries. And he's risen to maybe middle-of-the-pack by his actions (that is to say, I wasn't expecting much, but I was mildly pleasantly surprised), compared to his 2020 peers. I'm not exactly his fucking fanboy, I just recognize that he's not a Republican fucking ghoul. But the way people seem to judge actions in complete ignorance of how our government works, or of how fucking byzantine the processes even just for passing, much less implementing, legislature is... it's exhausting, frustrating, and infuriating.

The way people talk around here you'd think the president was a monarch. I know that's the way Trump and his sycophants want it or believe to be true,, but Biden is only 1/3rd of the entire government.

If we could get people to turn out to vote in local elections, we might actually see some reforms over a period of couple years that could lead to lasting change, at least on a local level, but long term planning is impossible to sell when everybody demands a strongman who can solve every problem or issue on the federal level right now.

It's a simple understanding that absolve them of having to think critically and take a stance. And it's not even that hard it's just they don't want to consider that they might be lacking something within themselves.
