Where's the great president?
Biden isn't the worst, he's a milquetoast compromiser, minor social programs that don't change the status quo of rising homelessness, out of control rent and home prices, rising medical costs, rising child care costs, rising food costs, raising car costs, rising just living costs.
America is rapidly fraying at the edges and his team are still talking about how good the economy is.
But forget all that, on January 6th America came literally 1 vice president away from a fascist coup and nothing procedurally has changed to stop it from happening again, instead the republicans have spent 4 years learning from their narrow defeat and making steps to ensure that they win next time.
Great leaders solve fundamental issues with their system, not maintain the failing status quo...
And that's why I specifically highlighted the potential for an American coup which he and the democrats have fundamentally not addressed, It wouldn't matter if he was the most perfect president ever, without addressing fundamental procedural flaws in how our democracy works there is no point to any of it.
They've let this be memory holed, it was just a bunch of individual idiots and the FBI is catching them, nothing else to see, when there are literal traitors in congress and flaws to exploit.
We are a knifes edge from fascism (if pence had gotten into the car or chosen loyalty to trump we would have fallen already) and the administration has failed to center the fundamental fixes it would take to prevent it from happening again.
