    Biden was, for lack of a better term, normal. He didnt make a show out of every single little in thing, in an effort to convince us he was smart, or tough, or attractive to the opposite sex, or any of the other dumb as fuck shit the insecure as fuck man baby and chief does every day and did every day during his last term.

    I get not liking Dems, I really get not liking Hilary. I can understand not liking Harris. But this guy? This fucking guy??? How in the sweet fuck did this fucking loser become anyone’s first pick?

    No. Here are tangible things I was worried about:

    • Biden attempted workplace vaccine mandates, which is a huge incursion into privacy (i.e. forced sharing of medical records)
    • Biden would try to “fix” inflation instead of letting the Fed handle it
    • Ukraine war could spill over to other European countries or the US could escalate and Russia resorts to nukes
    • support for Israel vs Gaza could get us involved in war with other regional powers
    • China could see the weak US President and decide to invade Taiwan

    Biden was a bad president IMO, but I’d take him any day over Trump, and it’s not even close. I was relieved that I didn’t see him in the news every day, and and I mostly worried about what he might do.

    Plenty of people around the world felt this during bidens term. Just because most americans didnt (not all, BTW), doesnt mean biden wasnt part of awful crimes against humanity, just like the presidents before him. America has been a brutal and unforgiving nation for a long time.

    It would be stupid to disagree with this.

    The number of foolish idealists who will literally fight against their own goals to feel superior and like they are better for either actively supporting fascism or sitting by on the sidelines will never cease to amaze.

    There are 3 major groups of morons to me:

    • The “lets make a third party!” morons

    • The “I am morally superior for not voting” morons

    • Of course, the actively malicious “I let the billionaires tell me that them fucking me was actually brown people’s fault” morons.

    Under Biden, I never worried what would happen to me

    Is exactly what Donald Trump was thinking once Merrick Garland was confirmed AG.

    It kinda felt like Biden’s entire presidency was waking up knowing that fascist hell was coming. One could tell after Jan 6th, the Russian invasion of Ukraine made it clear, the midterms confirmed it, and Oct 7th enshrined the impending reality.

    We did have a couple weeks of optimism though after he dropped out and before the campaign intentionally shit the bed.

    So he did give us that.
