I somewhat agree. He's probably been the best President in the last 30 years but it's a real low bar. He's done the bare minimum I would expect a sitting president to actually do. Obama was a disappointment but he got the monster that is healthcare on a decent start. Too bad Trump absolutely gutted it. Should have been made with more longevity but frankly, the real people to blame are solely the Republicans.
That said Biden for a second term isn't what I want. I barely wanted him for a first term but again, better than the literal reversal of human rights. He's probably the best president we could have gotten but he's still a corporate democrat pushing corporate greed. Republicans are the real reason we can't make any progress in that regard because we have the choice between literal treasonous assholes who diminish human rights for anyone non-white non-male at any costs or we have corporate greed-pushing democrats that just want to keep the ship upright enough to keep making money.
I don't have a lot of faith in the 2024 election but I know I'll be voting for whomever the Democrats push forward because no one in their right mind wants the alternative.
