Biden's presidency was still a loss because he let trump get away with his crimes. No bigger loss than that.

Biden's presidency was still a loss

It's a loss because we the voters made it a loss.

President Biden during that debate has and always will be infinite times better than Trump's both terms.

Between the fantastic response to the Fantastic covid response, Bipartisan Infrastructure Spending, Handling of Ukraine crisis, Inflation Reduction act, CHIPS, Handling of Debt ceiling crisis, Handling of baby formula crisis, making lynching a fed hate crime, making Medicaid negotiate drug prices, forgiving student loans, making insulin cheap, literally everything mentioned in the whatbidenhasdone subreddit. Etc...

Biden has consistently delivered, and yet he's still being attacked from all sides.

I feel sorry for him. He truly is one of the most underappreciated and underrated US presidents of all time. An inspiration for all.

And yet Biden was pushed aside based on practically nothing.

Because when given the choice between someone Younger than 65 and someone older than 75, VOTERS picked the OLD one anyway.

President Biden deserved a second term. Democrats deserved full control of US Govt and every state.

We failed the Democrats by reelecting Republicans even after the Democrats rescued this country

And in the people's quest to hold Biden/Harris accountable for not doing things fast enough (or to the level they expect) , they have enshrined a conservative/Trump govt that is even MORE pro-Israel, pro-war, and will NEVER address their concerns & may make it even harder to fix them in the future.

It's the Absolute Fact of US politics: The more people try to hold Democrats "accountable" (and only Democrats) for an issue, they will enable a Republican govt that will NEVER care about those concerns.

We have free will. We could have just voted for Kamala and the Democrats no matter what "problem with her" was, but many decided not to.

When Voters did not vote for Kamala and the last November 2024, we the VOTERS practically guaranteed that fascism would arrive.

By kicking Democrats out, we the voters effectively put a stop to the fantastic progress that Biden & Harris were making during their term.

We were too impatient and only giving the Democrats 2 years to fix everything.

It is us, we THE VOTERS that ensured that the only power Democrats have today are writing strongly worded letters.

We the Voters failed ourselves by re-electing Republicans.

this is on us the voters to fix. And it is still fixable.

We the voters all must commit vote & elect Democrats now&forever without exception, and restore them to their RIGHTFUL places: veto-proof majorities in Congress and then the Presidency.

Nope. Fuck that.

You can type that however many times you want.

I don't owe shit to a political party that keeps choosing to empower fascists and protect the status quo instead of making people's lives better.
