“The shitshow that is supporting Israel during its accelerating genocide, I won’t defend all that much. But the overall attempt to paint him as the same as the average Democrat is dead wrong.”

Won’t defend it all that much? So there is a defence even though they admit it’s an active genocide. Amazing

    He took the biggest action on climate change in US history; the goal of the climate bill is to put us on track for a 40% reduction in US emissions by 2030. It’s way too late but that’s clearly not Biden’s fault since he started fighting for it basically as soon as he got into office, and managed to achieve passed legislation which is several standard deviations above the norm for “let’s ignore it until we’re underwater and on fire” US politician status quo.

    First of all having a goal isn’t the same thing as having an accomplishment. Second Biden was vice president and a senator for decades. Biden isn’t Mayo Pete who has only had a career long enough to fix bread prices in Canada.

        its things he wishes he could do even though he didnt do it, and the wishes aren’t even that good!

        liberals would legitimately get a genie wish and wish for world hunger to be reduced by 10% because their brains are just so big and adult, you idealist communists wouldnt get it

          It’s crazy that the old joke of “if democrats found a magic lamp and got three wishes, they would bargain down to one, and use it on something republicans want” has needed updating.

      a goal also isn’t even the same thing as having a concrete, achievable, worked-out plan. And even if there was a great plan, running for president again and risking a trump win/resurgent right in 4 more years even if not, would undermine the feasibility of implementing said plan
