Tragedy? He wanted to be president all his life and he got there.
He funded a genocide. I think that was tragic.
If there was any justice that guy would be in jail.
The great tragedy was that he did it for 5 decades instead of retiring long, long ago.
I mean, he’s tons better than the dipshit getting ready to replace him, but that doesn’t put him anywhere near ‘good’.
Let’s not lower our standards just because of the orange contrast.
What standards? If you can’t get over the concept and f an ideal president, you’re going to be very disappointed the rest of your life. You should absolutely advocate your preferences and cast your best vote. However the reality is that all too often you need to vote against the worst candidate or compromise on the least bad.
Biden may not have been my ideal candidate either but it was an easy choice to vote for him over the other guy and I do believe he did better than most here give home credit for
Where are all the centrists who insist that Biden is the most progressive president who ever drew breath?
here.
Here. He ran as a centrist, acted as a centrist, and pursued the most progressive policies of any president in my life, except maybe Carter
Where are all the progressive centrists? I gotta see that
I’m not a centrist but he’s absolutely been the most progressive president in my lifetime in terms of policy.
are you 8 years old ? otherwise a shameless genocider who sold american working class to corpos is the likely the worst scammer to be in white house after trump
yea genocide is so trendy these days
Sorry I didn’t realize he did literally nothing else at all whatsoever
I mean Mussolini invented highways
Sure did, now if only he could’ve done it without being a dictator.
We both agree genocide is bad, I’m sorry you’re just also a petulant dipshit.
Who was? Honest question
Probably FDR
Best part about his presidency was him getting out of the way and letting Bernie and Warren do pro labor and consumer things.
““The Joe Biden story is one of the great tragedies of American politics. I really mean that. He should be having a glorious, well deserved, highly acclaimed retirement. And he’s not,” veteran Democratic political strategist James Carville said”
Its a bigger tragedy that James Carville still gets quoted in the last 20 years. He should be selling used cars in New Jersey.
It’s not like this is the story of a great man who through no fault of his own ends up with a tarnished reputation. He was never all that good and his tarnished reputation is a direct result of his own choices and actions.
many of us hated him way back to when Obama picked him as a VP choice. Terrible, terrible idea.
Wasn’t his entire appeal to be the white middle class appealing conservative type who would ensure the more ”progressive” Obama didn’t get out of hand.
Like I can’t even think of the great positive accomplishment that would be tarnished by the end of his presidency. As a comparison, Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually did some important and positive things before her selfishness destroyed her legacy. What was Biden’s greatest hit? Maybe being slightly less anti-gay than the conservative wing of the Democratic party during Obama’s term? Nothing during his presidency seems to rise to the level of a historic accomplishment. His legislative career was mostly bad.
IN all honestly the collation he assembled at the beginning of his presidency in reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine was actually world class statesmanship. Getting all of Europe together in economic action was really impressive.
Unfortunately Putin figured out how to play him right after . He should spend the rest of his life going door to door in Ukraine, apologizing.
Tragedy because it’s ending? Or tragedy because it’s JUST NOW ending?
Yeah, Biden pushed through a lot of harmful legislation in his career.
Yup he was big on killing the advanced us nuclear power program during the clinton admin. Just because the republicans were pro nuclear. That did more damage to our carbon footprint than any good that came from the IRA.
Kinda seems like he got everything he ever wanted.
This is another reason why this ancient fossils shouldn’t be allowed to wait this long to retire. If he had retired from office about a decade ago … people would have remembered him for a lot better things. The fact he stuck around this long will mean that everyone just remembers this fossil that drove the bus off a cliff and everyone wondered why they ever let him take the wheel.
“Mommy, daddy, what were the 2020s like?”
I can’t believe he’d throw away his legacy of decades of destroying black people’s lives 😔
