Biden was a poor president, maybe given Harris was his vice-president we could guess she might be a poor president also. Trump on the other hand is evil. Anyone that voted for him should be ashamed of themselves. If he was running against a bag of frozen brussel sprouts the bag of sprouts would make a better president than him.
It's the exact same as last time. Hilary would have been bad, but Trump is actively evil and destructive. I wanted Burnie, but I still voted for Hilary because it's a two party system and I understand how spoiler votes work. Now we're all fucked and I hope every single person who voted for the Orange Idiot suffers for it.
Biden was also evil. Less evil than Trump maybe, but trying to claim be wasn't evil goes beyond pragmatism and into white washing genocide.
Why was Biden a poor president?
Because he funded and enabled a genocide, maybe? No betterment of worker rights, no betterment of welfare state, no meaningful legislation to improve healthcare and to make it universal, no push towards a public pensions system, dramatic rise in fossil gas exports...
He did lower the cost of medications significantly. And it was undone with a signature. He defended Ukraine, he put in a decent infrastructure bill, got some green projects in. Yeah, granted, he also allowed a former president to walk free from 90 felonies, leading to where we are now. Dude should have been on gallows and somehow he's now the president. THATS where Biden fucked up. (Please read further, I will explain that controversial point.)
And ya know? That's a pretty big fuck up. Yes, Gaza was a huge fuckup. But, I would argue that it was a cause of not hitting Trump harder and faster with the DOJ. Had he been further along in the justice system, he wouldn't have been able to even campaign. He should have been prosecuted immediately for Jan 6. There was no excuse to wait. Gather other evidence while he's in court for that, as J6ers are going to prison one after the other, trump would be in prison before going to court over stolen documents, hush money, or anything else. If he would have jumped on that, we'd be living in a different world right now. He wouldnt have been able to gather steam and likely wouldn't even have primaried. The Democrats where in an upward trajectory. Then Russia and then Israel, but, if that pile of shit was behind bars, Biden would be able to throw more weight into decisions. Who would be able to touch Biden, had it not been trump? Anyone? But because Trump was there, he played possum. If they had moved on him when they should have, our country would be getting better, instead of swan diving off a cliff. Honestly at the rate we're going, we lose hegemony and GDP to China in less than 2 years.
Can't fucking wait for the genocidal empire to fall
Primarily? Because of his support for a genocide. That makes anyone objectively an evil person.
