    I wish there were someone who wasnā€™t evil or whose only selling point was they arenā€™t bad. Is having inspiring canidates really too much to ask for?

      The most pressing crisis to all of humanity is the climate and somehow Biden got through congress an estimated $1.3 trillion climate bill. Iā€™m not sure a Bernie couldā€™ve pulled that off.

      You donā€™t have to love or even like him, but he has selling points other than not being Trump.

      I mean, kinda, yeah. You saw what happened to Sanders.

      But so long as the red team is in full literal Nazi mode, we really shouldnā€™t bitch too much about the not-evil options. We donā€™t want to sentence the US with another Trump because the alternative is uninspiring.

      Itā€™s a shitty system, but letā€™s work with that we got.

        Thereā€™s nothing wrong with a boring, uninspiring president. Obama had a ton of charisma but Bidenā€™s presidency is honestly a lot better. Sure, the country sucks right now, but at least Biden is trying to make it better, after the last guy did so much to try and destroy everything our nation is built on. Itā€™s going to take a long time and a lot of hard work to crawl out of this hole the GOP has dug us into. I think there are people who could have done better than Biden, but in all honesty heā€™s probably the best president weā€™ve had in my lifetime. I give him a B+.

          Iā€™ve been eligible to vote since 2001 and I can say that Biden has been the vote that Iā€™ve been the most okay with. Heā€™s accomplished a fair bit despite the political situation. Maybe it would be more ideal if he were younger, but this is how it is now and I think heā€™s doing well, all things considered.
