And right on that flip side you’ll get downvoted and banned from .ml for pointing out that even if Democrats suck a massive bag of dongs they’re still unfortunately the least of two evils.
Believe what you will but my personal experience with the politics side of .ml, that’s the case. It’s not a place for open or honest discussion, not that the internet really is a place for that.
Insulting dems is usually not downvote-worthy here. Insulting Biden is not ok with a lot of people. They still want to carve him on mount rushmore. Comparable to George Washington, I’m told. A real man of genius.
While I appreciate the hyperbole I think most of us are trying to say he got a raw deal. Biden was much better both in policies and what he got done m than people give him credit for … especially given what he had to work with.
A president is always going to be a mixed bag, never exactly what you want, having to compromise essentially everywhere and deal with many conflicting priorities. Yet if you look back at things actually done, Biden signed quite a bit of very positive changes
Of course that legacy is disappearing fast under someone who ignore laws, only cares about his own priorities, lets his corporate benefactors run wild, and whose entire platform is to regress to a mythical 1950s that never was. It’s going to take years, maybe decades, to rebuild a functioning government, introduce what will be legacy technologies with established foreign dominance, get most of the world to trust us again. It’ll take many years to restore human rights, and the ever more broken education system may doom red states to be nothing more than cheap outsourced labor
Eh you’ll still get downvotes to oblivion on Lemmy.world for pointing out that the democrats suck a massive bag of dicks. That won’t change.

The Internet, 'tis a silly place.
I have a hard time believing that you got banned from ML for saying the democrats are the lesser of two evils.

Idk I’ve gotten some pretty good responses to this:
Today’s Democrats are the Republicans of 40 years ago. You’re not wrong.

You have to balance that stuff with his support for a far right genocide and his treatment of the defund movement.
