    People acting as if Trump or Biden would run the show. Biden has a cabinet of people and appointees who are putting in place their policies put together by experts. His policies have mostly benefitted the lower and middle class with a focus on bringing manufacturing back to America and improving infrastructure.

    Then theres Trump and Project 2025.

    I think I’ll be voting Blue, regardless of who is running.

        Honestly don’t care what its called or whose making the policies. If an administration is taking concrete steps to address wealth inequality I am going to vote for them.

      So in other words, you think the president should be a puppet? Because that is the implication of responding to “dude is unfit for the office” with “well he is not running it anyways, he’s just the face.”

      I don’t know of a single country run by a puppet that was run well. What you get instead is all the worst people to take advantage to put their personal benefit in, since it’s not their face associated with it.

      Also internationally it is very very very bad to be run by a puppet. Nobody will take the puppet serious and everyone will again seek to put their own interests in. We already see that with Israel playing Biden like a fiddle.

        No, I think their point is that most of the “work” goes to the cabinet - you don’t have the president out there doing the legwork for everything.
