What he was doing in and of itself wasn't bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.
What's not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.
Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour's work went up. Telling people who can't afford groceries that everything is great because it's great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.
Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.
His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.
He was still trying to play by "the old rules" too much. But had be been president in the 90s or early 2000s, he would've done a lot of good.
I do understand how little I'm saying. I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of credit for some of his efforts, that's all. But yeah, he was a wet sandwich.
I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.
Agreed. I just don't think he was even capable of that kind of energy injection. He built a great team though. For whatever little that's worth.
