The White House and Democratic members of Congress called Georgia Republican’s comparison a ‘compliment’

    I wish there were someone who wasn’t evil or whose only selling point was they aren’t bad. Is having inspiring canidates really too much to ask for?

      The most pressing crisis to all of humanity is the climate and somehow Biden got through congress an estimated $1.3 trillion climate bill. I’m not sure a Bernie could’ve pulled that off.

      You don’t have to love or even like him, but he has selling points other than not being Trump.

      I mean, kinda, yeah. You saw what happened to Sanders.

      But so long as the red team is in full literal Nazi mode, we really shouldn’t bitch too much about the not-evil options. We don’t want to sentence the US with another Trump because the alternative is uninspiring.

      It’s a shitty system, but let’s work with that we got.

        There’s nothing wrong with a boring, uninspiring president. Obama had a ton of charisma but Biden’s presidency is honestly a lot better. Sure, the country sucks right now, but at least Biden is trying to make it better, after the last guy did so much to try and destroy everything our nation is built on. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of hard work to crawl out of this hole the GOP has dug us into. I think there are people who could have done better than Biden, but in all honesty he’s probably the best president we’ve had in my lifetime. I give him a B+.
