    … I remember Biden from the 90’s. He was…not a good guy. He had what you might call MAGA energy back then. …

    that’s the biden i know and i wish i could see him like op does; but it’s clear biden hasn’t changed his his ways when you take into account all of the lip service he’s paid for things like green energy and progressive justice while simultaneously permitting drilling to the highest levels ever in recorded history; using the inflation act to create tariffs to block truly affordable green energy products; and giving nearly unfettered access to weaponry to bomb a defenseless group of people into non-existence.

    he’s done this so many times before like when he said that gays deserve compassion and then supported dont ask dont tell and voted for doma; also when he suggested that young people need help and then created the student loan act of 2005 that is currently fucking a lot of us over and for life; plus many MANY more examples.

    i get that it’s election season and we want to be nice; but this guy doesn’t deserve it for doing the bare minimum.

      He was against integration. He was a key player in giving us Thomas. He didn’t pull out and allow the democrats to have an actual primary. And so on. I’m glad he dropped out. I think his administration did an OK job, albeit completely failing in dealing with the fascism threat (no, I don’t know what they could have done. That’s not my job.).
