Bro. It took Biden until October '24 to even realize that half of america lives pay check to pay check and is struggling to buy fucking food and housing.

Biden was not a good president. he just wasn't as bad as some of the others, and that's an incredibly low bar.

Also, good presidents lock up pedophiles.

one of the reasons Kamala had such a hard time was that she wasn't coming in on a fresh campaign, but rather trying to clean up and fix the mess Biden handed her. (there's other reasons like not distancing herself from biden on certain issues, too. And racism. racism and mysogeny probably didn't help, but that was surmountable.)

The question Joe Biden keeps asking: ‘You think we can actually come back from this?’

So. like. the too-long-didn't-care is treating responsibility for things like it's zero sum game is stupid. Absolutely... incomprehensibly stupid.

Biden is absolutely repsonsible for having not done everything in his power as POTUS to put trump in jail.

and lets not forget... for the first half of Biden's presidency, he had both the house and the senate- not by supermajority levels, no. but they had control and they pissed it away with compromise.

And if you're going to give Biden credit for the Build Back Better bill and the other one... which I'm sure you do... then Biden can also take credit for that. (especially the decision to not pack the courts, or break the filibuster.)

But this is because of the naivety and lack of critical thinking skills. Not because they are young.

Rather, because public education has been gutted to prevent kids from being taught such skills.

And even more egregiously, taught to be incurious. To not ask questions. To obey.

I suspect the slop only works on people who already nominally believe or agree with it.

Like it’s no surprise there’s so many women-haters in the Christian faith. Because if you read the scriptures at face value god hates women, just as one example.

Edit: As for ai shit, it’s less that everyone buys it or whatever, it’s that the accept the ai as authoritative because they don’t understand how it works. And it’s presented as a convincing thing. It still takes a lot to produce a convincing deepfake.
