That will also be significantly worse under Trump.
Yeah, but then 81 year old Biden will have sure have learned his lesson (wags finger)
Anyone who says any politician has learned a lesson is lying.
What a bad "cynicism is easier than engaging with reality" zero-brain take.
Many politicians just suck. Of course.
But some politicians are clearly trying, growing, learning, and improving. And throwing them out with the bathwater, giving them no support, and equating them to the ones that suck is terminally, suicidally stupid.
But hey, cynicism is easy. People think you're cool, and you don't have to put any effort in.
I hope Biden can grow and improve quicker, like preferably before election day so a bunch of voters won't feel bad about voting for him. I really don't want Trump.
Biden is easily the best president of my lifetime by a factor of 10, but good governance is boring and quiet, while propaganda is loud and distracting.
If just doing a good job isn't enough, then what else is there?
He's pretty good on most things, except the genocide issue. Which is unfortunate because that's a big one for a whole lot of people. Which makes sense. No one will say Mussolini helped the trains run on time or Hitler's wars helped the German economy. The other bad things they did make those things seem less consequential. Genocide is like that. A lot of people here are lucky because they live in the imperial core, but for others who knows those being affected by the foreign policy, then it's priority rises even more.
