    idk he certainly did some decent stuff, and tried to do even more while being blocked by the other branches, but he broke his word several times.

    I’ll miss the boring politics as we faceplant back into potus orange haired toadus

    It’s been fine waking up every day simply concerned about the economy and people experiencing terrible things from afar, soon my morning concerns will include our local immigrants, a christofacist state, political retribution against some of the few politicians with some integrity, a further broken judicial system, broken education, banned abortions, broken social security, further broken health insurance. Ugh

      This is the thing I’ll miss the most. It was like the eye of a storm of bullshit. Like, I don’t need to worry that the president is going to talk about pedophilia at the fucking Boy Scout Picnic.

      Spare a thought for the persecuted trans people. We need to actively defend the minorities the fascists pick on.

          OK, but trans rights are a serious issue too. I don’t see that we have to rank who’s more important here. Everyone deserves basic human rights.

      and tried to do even more while being blocked by the other branches,

      Joe ran the primary saying he alone could get the party platform past a republican majority Senate…

      That was literally his main stump point.

      After the GA runoffs surprised everyone with a 50/50 split, he immediately said it was ignorant to believe a 50/50 Senate could accomplish anything

      I’ll miss the boring politics

      Lots of terrible shit happened under Biden, the difference is people dont pay attention compared to when it’s a Republican
