    Everybody hates politicians. Super easy to criticize any particular politician, and not likely to generate much angry feedback.

    Trump is a fucking goldmine of material. The sheer diversity of his bullshit means that no one topic stays relevant for very long.

    Biden, though? You’ve got age and Israel, and Israel has way too much other stuff associated to bring up in mixed company. The reason people harp so much on Biden’s age is because there’s nothing else they can talk about.

      You’re replying from a liberal point of view. I also disagree with how he’s doing student loan forgiveness, marijuana, and how he’s still pushing roads instead of public transportation.

      He’s also preventing Warren from being president while she’s still “young”.

      Climate change, we have record breaking fossil fuels production and still subsidizing it.

      Economy, only good for the 1%, Biden keeps bragging about it.

      Healthcare, just ignoring it

      Cannabis, Biden ain’t even going to deregulate which was his campaign promises

      Education, K-12 still terrible, student loans that have been forgiven isn’t even a rounding error in total debt

      Policing/legal system, still absolutely fucked, not being addressed

      SC, won’t admit it needs fixed

      Abortion, Biden won’t take action. Just says trump would make it worse again.

      Do I need to continue?

      Biden disagrees with his voters on lots of things, just because people are focused on a few, doesn’t mean the rest disappeared.

        Funny how everything you mention that Biden isn’t good at, Trump is way way worse and actively sabotage many of them, and most of the things aren’t help because Repubtards are blocking it.

        Do I need to continue?

        No you aren’t going anywhere anyway.

          Why would a starving man object to a shit sandwich?

          It’s better than starving…

          I’ll eat the shit sandwich if it’s my only choice, but others might not.

          So how about we offer a pb&j to everyone and they’ll all make the smart choice?

            That’s not the political reality, and you probably know it.
            You are preaching wishful thinking.

              If wanting more than a shit sandwich is wishful thinking, You’ve already given up

              That’s fine, you do you.

              But if you won’t help fix shit, please stop telling the ones still putting in the effort that it’s just “wishful thinking”.

                You are not helping, but sabotaging. Whether you are unaware IDK, but considering the communication you’ve been through, I’m guessing you are aware.
                So no I’m not going to help you sabotage the election for Biden.

        Criticizing a President/candidate for things he hasn’t done is pretty ineffective, because the easy answer is, “the other party is blocking him.” Most of your criticisms require a five minute conversation to articulate your position, because they’re actually hard policy questions, and don’t fit into a TV soundbite: they’re a whole other category than “He’s too old,” or “He’s sexually assaulted 18 women.”

          Exactly, his flaws that fit into TV sound bites and headlines are the ones that get brought up the most…

          That doesn’t mean the rest magically don’t exist and people don’t care about them.

          That’s just the reason they dont get brought up the most.

          And the other party would try to block them, but at least Biden could be trying so instead of a hypothetical he could point at when and where they blocked it.

          Progressives dont want everything fixed immediately, I mean, it’d be nice.

          But we’re not used to getting stuff, a president who tries is more than enough to get us excited.

          Which is why it’s so frustrating Biden doesn’t even try
