    Biden has done his job, I think Bernie would have been better, but at least it isn’t Trump.

      Yup. He’s not perfect and has a ton of major issues that articles like “just say he’s super awesome ok!” Are trying to paper over.

      Most notably for me is the dogged support for Israel and continuing the trump era border policies.

      He’s been progressive on a lot of stuff, but he’s also not the perfect leader. And frankly, this realization should be common. It’s disturbing when any media wants to deify political leaders. Feels like “come on Democrats, why can’t you be fascist like the right is?”

      Bernie would have done worse, especially considering the tight Congress and House he would’ve had in either Trump’s or Biden’s presidency. Biden has been beyond exceptional with being the voice of reason for the few elected Republicans that will cross the aisle who aren’t full on brainwashed by Trump goose stepping their way into a fascist theocracy.

      Bernie Bros including myself who voted for him every chance I got, which was exactly once, would’ve also gotten a swift kick in the realities regarding why the three separations of powers is thing. There’s a reason Bernie didn’t run a second time.
