      It’s a dangerous game, as Biden’s not bringing anything to the table on his own. Hillary lost in 2016 with a 10-pt plunge in support, because of the Comey October Surprise. Biden could easily suffer the same fate, if his lackluster supporters get spooked a few weeks before the general election.

        Biden’s not bringing anything to the table on his own.

        You mean, besides besides being the most progressive president since LBJ?

          That’s a low bar. LBJ was racist,

          “During his first 20 years in Congress,” Obama said, “he opposed every civil rights bill that came up for a vote, once calling the push for federal legislation a farce and a shame.”

            LBJ was the president who got the most important civil right bill passed. Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ and FDR.

                  Logical thought is essentially a process of figuring things out step by step. Think of it like putting together a puzzle where each piece must fit perfectly with the others to form a complete picture. It’s a way of thinking that helps connect ideas in a rational, sensible order. It starts with simple truths, builds on them, and leads to a solid conclusion, just like following a set of directions to get to a particular place. source

            does repeating this lie help you believe it?

            LMFAO. I believe that Biden was the most progressive president since LBJ because I have been paying attention to politics since Nixon was in office. I can remember the end of the Vietnam War, and the minute details of every administration since. Which particular president do you think was better than Biden?

              how do you not remember biden’s anti-gay votes or his anti-gay, anti-me2, pro-studentloandebt, or pro-isreal advocacy; like most boomers do?

              was it because none of that affects you or is it because you’re willfully ignoring the last few decades to make his presidency look better in your eyes?

              or is it simply because trump is so bad that the alternative is automatically good enough?

                How did you not know that Biden has done way more to nullify student loan debt than every other president?

                How did you not know that Biden got a Gaza cease fire passed by the US security council?

                biden’s anti-gay votes

                The president does not vote against anything. I said Biden is the most progressive PRESIDENT.

                How can you not know that Biden has been more progressive on me2 or lgbtq THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT?

                or is it simply because trump is so bad that the alternative is automatically good enough?

                Well we know that Convicted Sec Offender Treason Trump was ranked worst of all presidents by historians. So a house plant would be better than Treason Trump. But doesn’t change the fact that Biden has been the most progressive president in the last 50 years.

                  he literally use to brag about getting the bill that created our student loan debt problem passed the senate.

                  also: he’s been in federal politics for over 50 years; but we can only judge him for 3 of them?

                  ysk that cherry picked 3 years has been hit and miss at best.

                    he literally use to brag about getting the bill that created our student loan debt problem passed the senate.

                    He is literally the one and only president out of 46 president to cancel student loan debt.

                    but we can only judge him for 3 of them?

                    I judge President Biden compared to the previous 50 years of US presidents and the neofascist alternative waging war on democracy and the rule of law.
