    Biden won’t do anything useful.

    He’s had 4 years to be useful and he decided early he’d rather drool than, oh, codify roe v wade or set up protections against fascist rule

      How does Biden codify Roe V Wade? He can’t sign a bill into law because there is no bill to sign. That starts in the Republican controlled house.

      To be fair he’s done a lot of great things. Definitely dropped the ball on a bunch of stuff, but it’s not fair to say he’s just been drooling all this time.

        Honey, no…

        We don’t have to do this “respect the man, he worked hard” routine. That doesn’t help anyone. The dude failed to protect the most vulnerable or safeguard the country from Nazi elements within while also propping up genocidal regimes and he never did close those “kids in cages” camps that the media stopped talking about Jan 20, 2021.

          We agree that he failed to achieve much that he (ideally) should have. It’s easy to sit at our computers and type out a bunch of ambitions for Biden, but never having been president myself, I’m not really in a position to dish out hard-nosed criticisms of the man. Everyone is forced to work within certain frameworks that are usually invisible or poorly communicated to the world at large. Every democrat is forced to pick up and duct tape the pieces of rubble blown up by the previous republican president. All I said was that he did do many good things, and I stand by that.
