It's easy for them to say those words when all they have to do is ignore everything that actually happened.

Biden's biggest mistake is not being more vocal about his accomplishments. He's greatly exceeded my expectations.

He definitely has. The first few months of his presidency was crazy too. A litany of executive orders to course correct us away from Trumps massive shithole. The shear speed that "sleepy joe" moved at was astounding.

You mean these accomplishments?

Biden has spent his entire term fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.

Don't let perfect stand in the way of good.

Glad to hear things are "good" for you. They're not for me so I won't be voting to prop up your experience when you don't event have the decency to acknowledge mine.

I did acknowledge yours. A president will never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. If you're going to hold your breath for the perfect president, you're going to suffocate pretty quickly.

Biden was fully expected to uphold the current status quo. While he didn't follow through on everything, he exceeded expectations and pushed through a lot of good changes.

You can find policy decisions on literally any leader that you'll disagree with, but at least he has been pushing things in the right direction.

I did acknowledge yours. A president will never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. If you’re going to hold your breath for the perfect president, you’re going to suffocate pretty quickly.

That is not my perspective or my experience. Try again.
