    the biggest albatross on the Democrats’ relatively positive agenda is its weak leader.

    If it takes a “weak leader” to pull the country out of recession, inflation, unemployment, create a fantastic infrastructure program and all the other amazing policies that Joe Biden has managed to accomplish, I will gladly take a “weak leader” over a strong criminal/rapist/felon/liar.

      Biden has done exactly none of that.

      all the other amazing policies that Joe Biden has managed to accomplish

      Only thing close to “amazing policy” he’s done is the student debt forgiveness that he’s insisting on means testing to death. Not because it makes it more likely to pass Republican courts (it doesn’t since they’re pathologically opposed to even a single dollar being forgiven), but because that’s what Dem leadership always do when something helps regular people but not their rich owner donors.

      I will gladly take a “weak leader” over a strong criminal/rapist/felon/liar.

      He’s less awful for sure, but GLADLY?? Even if Biden miraculously becomes at least 50% more popular in the next 4 months and wins, that sets his successor candidate up for failure and Project 2025 still happens as Project 2029.

        Down votes here are unwarranted. OP was being generous, I can only assume to raise support for Biden, which is a fine cause. The responder was simply recalibrating OP because its disingenuous to believe biden is the answer to all of these problems. That’s not to say you shouldn’t support biden for a myrid of other reasons.

        Yeah, I’ll vote Biden if I have to, but we really need a replacement. He’s going to lose at this rate, and it’s going to fuck the world up.
