      One old fart that vows revenge on his political foes.

      One old fart that is the most progressive president in the last 40 years.

      Take your pick.

        True. You forgot to mention that he’s a literal fascist, though. That’s important information.

        One old fart that is the most progressive president in the last 40 years.

        …did you smoke crack between those two sentences? Were you typing while driving, got in a horrible accident leaving you with intermittent aphasia, then finished the comment anyway?

        Because it’s either that or you’re trying to gaslight us all completely unnecessarily.

        You don’t have to pretend that he’s great. Hell, you don’t even have to pretend that he’s not bad!

        Just reminding people that he’s the only alternative to the vengeful fascist should be enough. After all, that was 100% of his campaign strategy the first time around and it (barely) worked!

          Reagan, HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush, Obama, Trump. Take your pick.

          “Most progressive” is not a high bar to clear. It’s a reasonably fair claim that Biden has been more progressive than Obama, and definitely isn’t outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.

            Yet Biden managed to fail anyway.

            It’s a reasonably fair claim that Biden has been more progressive than Obama

            Nope. Neither fair nor accurate. Obama picked Biden to assuage the fears of white conservative Democrats and Biden is the exact same guy that he’s always been. His age isn’t much of a problem in itself, but his outdated policy positions and opinions are.

            He entered politics before the invention of the walkman and he hasn’t changed or acknowledged any of his mistakes since then.

            definitely isn’t outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.

            For the reasons stated above, I beg to differ.

              You haven’t actually commented on anything recent, just vague references to his non-presidency years (people are allowed to change). Nor have you shown that any of the listed presidents were more progressive. Your argument is “nuh uh”. You claim he failed. How? You didn’t even take the low hanging fruit of “Isreal” or “continued border bullshit”.

              Here, I’ll start: nominated the first black woman to the supreme court. More low hanging fruit, but you’ve set the bar rather low. He’s been doing quite a lot for the LGBT community, which is a pretty big reversal from his past.

              See. Two sentences, one source, and now there’s substance. Now. Refute me.

    Can’t tell whether it’s cemtrist BS or satire. And if it’s sature, whether it’s just pride, or also communist (because it really reminds me of that fraternal kiss graffiti of Brezhnev and Honecker on the Berlin Wall).
