Dear god he is so unbelievably feckless. And the most astounding part is that he seems to genuinely think he did a good job all around.
He did not do a good job. The bare minimum for doing a good job is not letting fascists take over.
Old man forgets that he was complicit in everything he says was wrong for the past four decades.
What did he do that makes him guilty?
He voted to increase loans and grants that made college ever more expensive for decades, and then in the aughts, sponsored the bill to make student debt non-dischargeable even in bankruptcy, effectively handcuffing generations past and future as well to the truckload of bullshit they are fed to get them into mountains of debt and then ensuring they are forever chained to it. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/111100/documents/HHRG-116-JU08-20201202-SD007.pdf
Decades in the US government anyone is going to have lots of awful things they did, and I’m not going to argue it’s his worst but it’s one of the most crippling to anyone trying to better themselves and has destroyed decades of millions of Americans lives.
I’m no political analyst so I don’t know what he did … what I do know is what he didn’t do, namely to actually do something significant against the growing oligarchy that he is talking about.
I also know nothing and want to talk about my feeling based opinions. Let’s start a club.
“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights, the freedoms and the fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden said.
Today? No Biden, it’s been there for five decades and longer.
It’s threatened the lives of every non white male that’s been a victim of institutional racism, sexism, and discrimination and outright taken many of those lives.
True, but today they no longer try to hide what they do. They are doing everything in the open and significant part of the population is cheering them.
It is mind blowing.
Yeah, I’d say it’s closer to since at least the 1800s. Maybe longer.
I agree. But also, why didn’t you do anything about it when you had the chance?
Remember when he was promising to increase taxes on anyone making $400,000 or more? At the first opportunity (the first debate) the media started attacking only him (BTW completely ignoring trump) until he suspended his campaign.
Harris took over, but notice that that promise disappeared.
Harris wanted to raise taxes on those making 400,000 just like biden, it didn’t disappear at all. She also talked about introducing an unrealized gains tax on those with gains worth more than 100 million. You can’t say she didn’t want to increase taxes on the rich unless you ignore her policy proposals.
While I don’t know about this particular promise, Harris’s campaign progressively dropped or watered down economic policy promises as the election got closer. I can’t find the source, but there was an article here after the election with data on this.
I do remember that. But I also remember he was president for 3 years prior to that promise, and a whole year afterwards, and he made no move to action that.
Biden wasn’t a bad president, but he wasn’t a great one either.
The problem with republicans is that they’re actively evil.
The problem with democrats is that they’re too disorganised and fractured to actually follow through on their plans.
Trump could make a political promise that all americans will be forced to eat his turds unless they pay a 1 million dollar yearly fine.
That bill would pass, because they’re united on everything, and their only goal is others suffering.
Biden could make a promise that all americans will pay an extra $1 yearly tax to fund a way to solve homelessness in major cities.
Bidens plan wouldn’t pass, because democrats would bicker how the fine details would work, meanwhile, we still have to eat trumps daily turds.
Perfect is the enemy of good
Remember when the establishment kept repeating he was the greatest President in history
No I literally don’t remember that.
Why didn’t you?
Probably because he’s not in politics
When Republicans owned the Senate and more importantly the Supreme Court?
Yeah well, 64 years ago Eisenhower warned about the dangers of the military-industrial complex and we’ve all seen how that warning got completely ignored.
Dawg we had Washington warn about the 2 party system, we never listen
Ironic that Biden brought that up when he called out the tech industrial complex. Americans do not learn.
Did they ask chatgpt to write that or they literally think people are stupid?
probably both.
Says the guy that pardoned his own son 🙄
I mean his son was the target of politically motivated prosecution. Biden should’ve pardoned other people in similar situations, but pardoning his son wasn’t wrong. In other words, the fact that other people deserved these pardons doesn’t invalidate its use for Hunter.
You wouldn’t pardon your own son?
Just giving the people what they voted for. A complete lack of accountability among the leaders of the country and anyone who associates with them.
That’s nepotism, totally different thing
