Joe Biden talked about wanting a cease-fire, but he continued sending weapons to Israel and refused to apply any pressure to end the attack on Gaza. That refusal, cosigned by Kamala Harris, is an integral part of both their legacies.

    Biden is going to be a sad entry in the history books of presidents. The dude wasn’t shitty, he wasn’t great though and he let the media, his opposition, and his party mother fuck him from start to finish.

    His enduring legacy will be mediocrity and ineptitude. He will be this century’s Millard Fillmore. He is opposed to all that stuff but won’t do anything to stop it.

      He’s going to be proof that people don’t know what the fuck they want. People demanded unity. So he let the GOP gaslight and set the narrative while he tried to promote positivity and progress.

      Then the people chose a terrorist.

        People demanded unity.

        Who are these ‘people’ that demanded unity? Centrist Democrats reflexively dash towards the center. It’s just part of their belief system; they’re personally centrist and fundamentally opposed to major transformative policy. No one ‘called’ for Biden to be some big unity candidate. That was his choice, not the peoples.

    Like him or hate him, Biden was never not going to back Israel. He’d been an Israel supporter for a long time before he became president, and there’s really no excuse for not knowing that if you’re at all interested in American politics. People wish they could elect some sort of ideal president, but I’ve never seen one, yet.

    So, given that, you might alternatively say that Hamas’s enduring legacy will be the destruction of America. When they attacked Israel at that time, because of the players involved, the GOP’s chances of winning big in 2024 really surged.
