I don't roll my eyes, I just ask what precisely they mean when they say Nazi, and usually precisely what they mean by whatever word they use in that response with a flexible definition. Because it could literally be anything between "murder anyone who isn't straight, white and Christian" and "not as progressive as Biden".

To be fair, basically the best thing we can say about Biden is that he's not a Nazi.

I mean, he essentially campaigned and won on not being Trump. He's been competent enough in office though.

"Inoffensively competent" is about the highest praise I'd give him, and it's deeply sad that that's a substantial improvement over his predecessor.

I'll give Trump that not everything he did in office was terrible - he did sign the FIRST STEP Act which was broadly a good thing, and I approved of the Devos Title IX policy changes, and that's about it.

Biden isn’t progressive. He’s kind of socially left and economically right.
