One old fart that vows revenge on his political foes.
True. You forgot to mention that heās a literal fascist, though. Thatās important information.
One old fart that is the most progressive president in the last 40 years.
ā¦did you smoke crack between those two sentences? Were you typing while driving, got in a horrible accident leaving you with intermittent aphasia, then finished the comment anyway?
Because itās either that or youāre trying to gaslight us all completely unnecessarily.
You donāt have to pretend that heās great. Hell, you donāt even have to pretend that heās not bad!
Just reminding people that heās the only alternative to the vengeful fascist should be enough. After all, that was 100% of his campaign strategy the first time around and it (barely) worked!
Itās okay to be Trump supporter on Lemmy Viking_Hippie. I know you regularly like to pretend Biden is bad but donāt be a useful idiot at least.
Really? That weak ass āonly Trump Supporters would criticize Bidenā bullshit is all you have? After I specifically pointed out the fact that Trump is a literal fascist and stressed that Biden is a less bad choice? Pathetic.
donāt be a useful idiot at least.
Iād say āright back at youā, but youāre not even useful. Youāre just an idiot.
No, youāre just literally parroting russian fascist republican propaganda equating the two no matter how much you badmouth Trump. Everyone shits on Trump already, itās not special, nobody cares anymore lol.
Saying insane patently false shit like you have about Biden though makes you a useful idiot which is even worse than an idiot. I know Iām fucking stupid, Iām talking to you on Lemmy right now proving your point.
The difference being that youāre actively making the world worse whether knowingly or unknowingly.
Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush, Obama, Trump. Take your pick.
āMost progressiveā is not a high bar to clear. Itās a reasonably fair claim that Biden has been more progressive than Obama, and definitely isnāt outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.

Yet Biden managed to fail anyway.

Nope. Neither fair nor accurate. Obama picked Biden to assuage the fears of white conservative Democrats and Biden is the exact same guy that heās always been. His age isnāt much of a problem in itself, but his outdated policy positions and opinions are.
He entered politics before the invention of the walkman and he hasnāt changed or acknowledged any of his mistakes since then.
definitely isnāt outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.
For the reasons stated above, I beg to differ.
You havenāt actually commented on anything recent, just vague references to his non-presidency years (people are allowed to change). Nor have you shown that any of the listed presidents were more progressive. Your argument is ānuh uhā. You claim he failed. How? You didnāt even take the low hanging fruit of āIsrealā or ācontinued border bullshitā.
Here, Iāll start: nominated the first black woman to the supreme court. More low hanging fruit, but youāve set the bar rather low. Heās been doing quite a lot for the LGBT community, which is a pretty big reversal from his past.
See. Two sentences, one source, and now thereās substance. Now. Refute me.
āMost progressiveā is not a high bar to clear.
and Biden still limbos way under it.
Biden forced the railroad workers to go back to work, violating their right to protest. Thatās ACTUALLY fascism. The government forcing people to work at a company for shitty pay so the shitty company can get more money
And Obama broke the legal Occupy Wall Street protests and killed civilians in Yemen with drone strikes. So he takes the title instead? āMost progressiveā is a comparative qualification, and he does not need to BE a progressive to take the title.
While I agree that the strike shouldnāt have been broken and that the rail workers should have the right to stop as much work as they control in order to make their demands heard, Biden also became the first president to walk a picket line during that strike and ultimately got the rail workers a deal that their unions all were reportedly happy with. He may not be everything you want, but he IS the most pro-union president of my lifetime. Again, not a high bar to clear. Recognize progress when it happens, even if itās not your dream come true.
Furthermore, with all the terrifying examples of actual rising fascism that surround us right now, donāt muddy the waters with BS like that. It just makes you look like a troll.
