Did I say they’re the same, or did I say Biden was the best/least worse of the most recent 4?
Im saying they're the same. Or close enough to not matter.
Well I’m not, there’s a clear difference on them when it comes to minority/women’s rights.
Good job, soldier. 🫡
Roe v wade got ganked on Biden's watch. You heard him say anything about it since?
Right I forgot he was in charge of the supreme court lol
Idiots and blaming Democrats for Republican actions, name a better duo.
You need a new system.
Is he in charge of anything except giving arms to Israel?
In my opinion Biden supporters are either the meme for “illusion of choice” or just anti-Trump, there are very few actual Biden supporters (More than half of Americans have disapproved of Biden for most of his term). These DNC party leaders are so tone-deaf, it starts to feel like they either actually want Trump (Presumably so Establishment A and Establishment B can continue to act blameless for their horridness) or are so disconnected from John Q Public that they could never represent us. I always ask and am only ever downvoted as to why I should fear that Trump can run a dictatorship to strip all rights within 24 hours of inauguration but Biden cannot even act to protect established rights after having years to do so.
I think you're getting it lol

You hear any of the other 3 say anything?
The very definition of all talk no action.
What do you want him to do exactly?
And my point still stands, have you seen Trump or Bush speak up about it? Because you keep avoiding that part.
Roe v Wade did not get codified for decades. The problem isn't just Biden it's the entire fucking party that only pays lip service to womens (and other peoples) rights. Which is why I don't care about who speaks up about what, it doesn't matter what they say when they don't do anything about it even when they have control over the house and senate.
Why would we care about trump or Bush, are they the president???
Because the discussion was about him being the most ethical of recent presidents.
If you fail to comprehend the discussion at hand, that’s your shortcoming.
Good job soldier 🫡
Right, they would have also gone behind congresses back to sell arms to Israel? Thank you for your input 🫡
Good job soldier. 🫡
Good job soldier 🫡
Any of the other 3.. Acting Presidents??
Gee it’s almost like we’re comparing him to previous presidents here or something.
We elected him because he's not the previous president, remember?
BUT WHY?
Not in terms of policies enacted. The concentration camps on the border were built by Obama and continued and expanded by both Trump and Biden, there is no discernible difference between them on immigration. Roe v Wade was never codified, Trans rights aren't codified, nothing is getting done. The Iran deal just died and that's it, Biden made no effort to reverse the stuff Trump did. At best some lip service "commitments" like the Paris Agreement. There was more covid relief under Trump than under Biden. Like what harm has the "harm reduction" candidate reduced?
