    I get that Biden was pretty damn passive as a president, but holy moly was it just a relief for a while there to be able to completely forget the president even existed and wasn't actively destroying the world's view on the USA.

    Like those 4 years were like sitting down for the first time.

    If anybody cares in the future, I think Biden will have a renaissance like Carter, as people realize he was trying to do a lot of good stuff, put a lot of good people in place, etc...

    It just wasn't enough, wasn't right for that moment, etc... etc... and arguably helped give us Trump again, though I think that was likely coming regardless.

    What he was doing in and of itself wasn't bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.

    What's not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

    but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric

    Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour's work went up. Telling people who can't afford groceries that everything is great because it's great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.

    Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.

    His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.

    He was still trying to play by "the old rules" too much. But had be been president in the 90s or early 2000s, he would've done a lot of good.

    I do understand how little I'm saying. I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of credit for some of his efforts, that's all. But yeah, he was a wet sandwich.

    I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.

    Nawww man, we're in G.R.R.M Territory now.

    Any good thing that happens just sets us up for some kind of miserable travesty.

    Meta: if you just share a bloatiful screenshot instead of just copying a few bytes of plaintext, at least crop it down to the actual content.

    It'll be like that nut you have only once in a blue moon. The one where your body yeets all the feel goods and nearly pass out.

    And that's just when billionaires are arrested.

    I've admittedly not seen it. I'm not sure I can afford to suddenly realize I'm gay in this economy. I've just got too much on my plate right now.

    lol I think if men find it hot it just means they find the situation hot, or are empathetic with the main character and feeling what he feels. Also bisexual people exist. There are more bi people than gay.
