Not sure I would ever describe Biden’s behavior as malicious, unless ofc I missed something. Trump, on the other hand, is almost always verbally attacking someone else or otherwise sowing dissent. Kinda the definition of malicious intent.
Genocide isn’t malicious? Could’ve fooled me. Furthering Imperialism, ie maintaining hegemony against the Global South is another major issue, of course. We can go back and forth but at the end of the day, Biden is a Neoliberal Right Winger in charge of the world’s largest Empire, his hands aren’t clean.
I think you might have a somewhat warped understanding of what the office of President actually is. Sure it has tremendous influence over the higher branches of the federal government and therefore the nation, and to a lesser extent the world. But, the office is hardly all powerful or even particularly capable of making all the decisions. The President can never be wholly to blame for all the bad things happening in the world, as much as we’d all like too.
Also, at no point have I actually argued that either one of our favorite culturally relevant old guys is good or bad. I only ever hinted at the inherent intent behind their actions and words, and questioned the soundness of electing someone that takes perverse joy in proving that he’s an overcooked cunt. Biden at the very least tries to mumble his way to kindness.

Not at all, I just disagree with you politically.

The President can be held accountable for their actions, and the people they put into positions of power. Bypassing Congress to send more aid to Israel wasn’t a requirement, but Biden is a self-admitted Zionist.

Nope, just the decisions they’ve made, including maintaining the status quo of a crumbling genocidal empire and handing the win over to Trump.

You did, by implying genocide can be done with positive intent.

Trump is appealing to his voterbase, that’s politics. Biden could take a lesson or two from that and actually try to energize his base, or else we will see Trump in office again.

No, he doesn’t, this is you projecting your idealism onto a career politician, and a Neoliberal at that.
