    Dear god he is so unbelievably feckless. And the most astounding part is that he seems to genuinely think he did a good job all around.

    He did not do a good job. The bare minimum for doing a good job is not letting fascists take over.

      Letting them take over? Does authoring the Patriot Act and the crime bill leading to our present system of mass incarceration, not to mention his relationship with MBNA, qualify Biden as some kind of egalitarian in your world? The fascists have been here for a while, my son.

        This is a prime example of how the Overton window has shifted so far right, the average person has a political amnesia, and how strong the US corporate dictatorships propaganda is.

        Joe Biden — the lifelong neoliberal who sowed the seeds for fascism, financed by corporate Americas plutocracy — had his history rewritten and reframed as though he’s a progressive. While he may have adopted progressive policies in the last decade, he shifted with the political wind of the average voter, and didn’t hold those beliefs until they became politically advantageous.
