    What boils my blood is that everyone kinda accepted right’s reaction to the president. For them it’s all about theatrics and how much of a frenzy the president can whip with a twitter account, and nobody cares about policies. Biden’s administration is incredibly effective, they appoint people when they needed, they organise commissions when appropriate, they propose and support bills and legislations, you know, all the things that presidential administration is suppose to do, and apart from knee-jerk reaction on Israel issue, they were on the right side every time, and they fixed a lot of damage that previous guy made.
    But Biden isn’t a wanabe dictator that tries to rule around checks and balances to achieve loud social media headlines, so everyone calls him president asleep and waits for Trump but good (and I can’t stress enough how bad that would be actually)

      Biden’s administration is incredibly effective [at accomplishing the things I care about]

      We know this. We know you are happy with Biden. Goodie for you.

      We are not. Are you going to listen to us or just keep telling us how happy you are with the guy you voted for in the 2020 primaries?

        Nothing the person you replied to said indicates they’re happy with the Democrats. They just say that there is a lot to lose if the Homicidal Culture War Party takes office again.

          Yes they did. Right here.

          Biden’s administration is incredibly effective

          I see you all have resorted to shameless gaslighting.

            Efficiency isn’t good if you don’t agree with everything someone does but I see why you interpret it like that.

            Ah, I see, you just don’t know what some words mean.
            “Effective” doesn’t mean “I very much like that”. I was specifically opposing the narrative that Biden’s administration doesn’t do anything, you know, “sleepy Joe” propaganda point. Actually, they do a lot of things, they just don’t advertise it to a general public very well.
            I also never thought that Biden will try to do something that he wasn’t trying to do ever, so him not implementing single payer healthcare plan, for example, isn’t a testament to his effectiveness, but his political values.

        Very explicitly not what I said.
        What I am saying is, you didn’t vote in the primaries at all, so now you stuck with whatever other people chose. And turns out, that guy isn’t as bad as everyone thought, actually. Not good, but also not bad. It’s just the system they have to operate in is incredibly fucked, and it’s fucked because every 8 years or so US collectively decides that not bad is not good enough and decides to elect someone who explicitly wants to destroy everything they can.

          Incorrect. Not only did I vote I phone banked, canvassed and donated just like I did in the 2016 primaries.

            Yeah, I’m sorry, I wasn’t precise. I didn’t mean you personally, I meant royal you, people with your position. Based on poll numbers there is either not enough progressives in US or they’re incredibly politically inactive. And honestly, I don’t know what is worse.

              Someone who takes time out of their day to vote against the interests of every generation after them is absolutely worse than someone who stays home. Period.
