I get that Biden was pretty damn passive as a president, but holy moly was it just a relief for a while there to be able to completely forget the president even existed and wasn’t actively destroying the world’s view on the USA.
Like those 4 years were like sitting down for the first time.
If anybody cares in the future, I think Biden will have a renaissance like Carter, as people realize he was trying to do a lot of good stuff, put a lot of good people in place, etc…
It just wasn’t enough, wasn’t right for that moment, etc… etc… and arguably helped give us Trump again, though I think that was likely coming regardless.
What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.
What’s not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour’s work went up. Telling people who can’t afford groceries that everything is great because it’s great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.
Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.
His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.
He was still trying to play by “the old rules” too much. But had be been president in the 90s or early 2000s, he would’ve done a lot of good.
I do understand how little I’m saying. I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of credit for some of his efforts, that’s all. But yeah, he was a wet sandwich.

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.
First: hope so!
Second: am I the only one bothered by a post that could easily have a quarter of the hight by not making me occasionally running into letters on a black void?
lol
I think if men find it hot it just means they find the situation hot, or are empathetic with the main character and feeling what he feels. Also bisexual people exist. There are more bi people than gay.

Agreed. I just don’t think he was even capable of that kind of energy injection. He built a great team though. For whatever little that’s worth.
Yeah, Biden has a lot of flaws, he’s not perfect, but at least he’s a decent president and a decent person. I kinda wish that he was a lot better
Imagine how tired your legs are gonna feel if you ever get the chance to sit again
My bar was low: “I don’t want a president that nearly sparks world war over tweets.”
Most Americans seem to disagree with me.
If it’s good, it’s just a scam
I was going to say dogs break your rule but they scam me out of treats and attention so it still holds up.
The power of positive thinking.
I guess the glass is completely empty
I mean there’s moisture in the air if you count that
They’ll figure out how to “fix” that soon enough
Did you guys totally miss what happened in Hungary?
Artemis II
Thats the standard for good things happening now? Ouff..
You have to celebrate the wins.
Nawww man, we’re in G.R.R.M Territory now.
Any good thing that happens just sets us up for some kind of miserable travesty.
We hope
*"Hope is the first step on a road to disappointment*”
Watch people be mad the good thing isn’t “the perfect thing”
Why are you celebrating the good thing? Whatabout bad thing #768390626?
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani Spotted Paying Full MSRP for Windows 11 at Times Square Microsoft Store
💔
People slingshot around the moon. BuT tHe tOiLeT bRoKeee
Depends on what the good thing is. If people want me celebrating that Trump didnt start or escalate a war for a whole month theyre out of luck
First: hope so! Second: am I the only one bothered by a post that could easily have a quarter of the hight by not making me occasionally running into letters on a black void?
My guess is that would lead to cropping of the thumbnail. But it’s not my creation, kinda bugs me, too.
Did Lemmy pad this image? Whaiiiiii?
No, I stole it from somewhere else and passed it along to you all unmolested.
Don’t worry, the GOP will make all good things illegal soon enough
Titanfall 3 coming out.
Don’t you toy with my emotions like that
It’ll be like that nut you have only once in a blue moon. The one where your body yeets all the feel goods and nearly pass out.
And that’s just when billionaires are arrested.
Meta: if you just share a bloatiful screenshot instead of just copying a few bytes of plaintext, at least crop it down to the actual content.
But you’re not the only one.
I’m not the only one And the rain will kill us all We throw ourselves against the wall
Heated Rivalry released in this media landscape.
I’ve admittedly not seen it. I’m not sure I can afford to suddenly realize I’m gay in this economy. I’ve just got too much on my plate right now.
lol I think if men find it hot it just means they find the situation hot, or are empathetic with the main character and feeling what he feels. Also bisexual people exist. There are more bi people than gay.
I dont think people can accept a good thing at the moment. To much bad
I‘m still suspicious about the Hungarian election result
That’s a good thing in your book?
Yeah
How?
How is democratically getting rid of a pro-putin pro-Trump wannabe dictator a good thing? Gee, not sure
What a relief, now it’s someone who does the same shit except he’s pro-EU, so he only harms minorities without inconveniencing us
but I’m not the only one
Can I stop taking my antidepressants if it does?
i mean sure i’m the internet not a cop.
100%. Hell, you can even stop them now in advance, if you’re feeling bold!
Small caveat, barely worth mentioning: I don’t have formal medical training, but…I mean…*come on*.
Imagine how good it would feel to have worked to make that good thing happen…
That scummy company is no longer involved in producing subnautica 2. It’s the small things.
Artemis II happened recently, despite all the cuts :)
GTA 6
At this rate GTA 7 will release before GTA 6
Lmao, keep dreaming
… because gta 5 was amazing and didn’t feel like a repeat of things already out there.
Grand Theft Auto game creator sacked us for trying to unionise
The in-game radio will be a cruel reminder that they’re in favor of the things they’re satirizing.
I imagine gta6 is going to be like a less extreme skate. where people remember a series that they once had but was ruined by greed
More liberal doomerism, nice.
