It’s crazy people calling critique “whining.” Biden is looking like a very weak president domestically. He can’t even get members of his own party to vote for his agenda. The Republican Party that he calls his “friends,” are going all in to obstruct him and going all embracing far right authoritarianism while at the same time setting up the stage to steal the 2024 election. All the promises of voting/election reform, Supreme Court reform, police reform, climate change reform, student loan reform are dead. The BBB is essentially dead. This was not what was promised a year ago and the centrist clowns here made it seem Biden will be a modern FDR. Give me a fukking break. He is a weak leader who doesn’t want to step on the GQP shoes because he has some friends on that side. Meanwhile fascism is on the rise. Months ago the Biden administration told voting rights activist that they think they can win despite voter suppression by just bringing out the vote harder. His approval ratings are low as typical with presidents but he does not excite the base the same way Obama did. Obama was charismatic and an orator plus he was young. Also the black community came out in force for him to make sure he won a second term. Biden does not make the base excited and the way things are going he maybe a one term president. Dems are gonna lose the House in 2022. And may lose the White House and Senate in 2024 to white supremacist fascist who will game the system to make sure Dems never win another election again.
I just read today that Biden's approval rating is lower than Trump's ever was, and the only president with a lower approval rating while serving as POTUS was George W Bush.

So we're pretending most libertarians don't feel that way? :usure:

Or that that type of thinking doesn't directly motivate libertarian ideology? :usure:

Libertarianism is a sociopathic political ideology which desires to propel any well-organized society into chaos and abject poverty.

Any non-whites presenting themselves as libertarians are likely law enforcement officers working undercover.

It doesnt.
Libertarians would favor market solutions if every individual involved were purple.


This is just another instance of American whites expressing how they really feel.

I don't understand how you can fail a president when his own party isn't aligned with him. It technically isn't his job to whip congressmen and senators, that's the job of each chamber's respective leadership.

I'd give his presidency a C. His covid response was a much needed improvement but his administration fumbled testing kit availability which could have done a lot for perceived normalcy in the public but also could of had an impact on covid cases and variant spikes. I also feel like his press office didn't do enough to counter the mixed messaging coming out of the CDC. WH press should have been spearheading all covid guidance, taking the pressure off of the CDC who through out the pandemic has rushed to put out guidance under public and political pressure causing a lot of hesitancy and forcing the WH to be on defense with covid messaging far too many times.

I personally feel like he should have delayed student loan repayment out the gate via executive order so that he could leverage a forgiveness of some kind shortly before the midterms. His people/strategist had to know that D's would require something tangible to run on to rally a voting period that is historically weak for D's.

The value proposition of his presidency is essentially "a return to normalcy" and that simply isn't enough with a slow rise in the progressive wing of his party as well as the increasing popularity - even amongst R's - of certain progressive policies. His administration has to demonstrate there is more to it than there is no longer a lunatic in the WH.

They are also not tackling the messaging on the boogeyman in the room the right way, inflation. Elizabeth Warren should be on every cable news network that will have her as well as giving speeches on how corporate greed is driving the idea of inflation.

You have to give him credit for BIF, no it isn't sexy, but it's decent and needed legislation. His support of the pre-gutted BBB and strong voting rights is commendable but leadership under him is failing him and he's taking the heat for it.

You just answered your own question. Biden's main selling point was "my years as a master negotiator in the Senate mean I can get both parties to work together." He can't get his own party on board. That makes him look weak as shyt. No, he doesn't have a vote, and he's not the one whipping up votes (and I have plenty of criticism for Schumer and Durbin for their weak leadership in the Senate), but his whole strategy has been all wrong. He's been wining and dining Sinema and Manchin in both the White House and his personal home in Delaware. He gave Manchin's wife a cushy job. And they both repeatedly punk him publicly. Biden went to the House to pressure progressives into voting for BIF, assuring them that he could get Manchin's vote on BBB. And then Manchin went on Fox News of all places and tanked the bill. And according to Manchin himself, the White House hasn't mentioned BBB since.

Biden ran on getting congress to pass his agenda, and he hasn't done that beyond a Covid relief bill whose benefits have already expired and won't get renewed, and a corporate-backed infrastructure bill that he spent months saying is only a fraction of his larger agenda, which he can't get passed. So, he fails.

You have to give him credit for BIF, no it isn't sexy,

He's not going to get credit for that because Dems spent months saying that BIF and BBB were not only tied together, but BBB was the bigger, more important, and more meaningful part of the agenda. They didn't get BBB passed, and any good will from BIF was already long gone by the time it actually got signed.

Say you had a class where the project was worth 30% of your grade while the exam was worth 70%. You aced the project, which is fine on its own, but you flunked the exam, which was a bigger part of your grade. You didn't even get partial credit. You got a big fat 0. Are you passing that class?

That's the equivalent of them getting BIF passed without BBB.

You can't base your entire campaign around that and not get stuff done. I wouldn't fail him, but he deserves a D.
