I'm not crazy about Biden, but I'll happily vote for the shitty status quo vs literal "I'll be a dictator"

But Trump really really wants it!

And isn't it about time that a rich white guy got what he wants?

That’s what the firehouse of bullshit does.

"Exciting" is not a trait I prioritize from a politician.

It's so bizarre to me that the world over personality is a trait that the media seem to think I care about.

If they will actually govern the country with something approaching talent and not siphon money off into their own pockets that's about as much as you can really ask for.

The bar for politicians is so low that being entirely average is exceptional.

A reluctant friend sounds like someone who really isn't sure if they want to be your friend.

I'm not positive because I'm bad at faces, but I think that's America Ferrera on the right.

How exactly is Biden even an evil? So much discourse around him complains about his handling of Gaza and Ukraine lately.

What do people actually want him to do?

Feels like so many people saying I don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils or I'm going to vote third party slept through civics class and think that the President can do things like unilaterally declare war or distribute aid package to other countries. That's now how the US government works. Congress is the one who creates those packages.

Here's what he can do, officially https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powers_of_the_president_of_the_United_States. I don't see much there that helps with any of the things people are complaining about. Pretty much any executive order he's tried to make has also been shot down by our current very useless Congress.

It's time to stop blaming the President for not doing the things he cannot do and start blaming our current Congress for being utterly useless. Get every obstructionist regressive Republican out of Congress and then we can blame Biden when we see him veto a bill that grants trans protections or aid to Ukraine and Palestine. Then we could call the man evil.

Who's predicted to be Trump's pick for vice president... because apparently watching Trump supporters chanting about hanging his last VP wasn't a large enough red flag.
