    Biden was the best president in my lifetime but the far right thought he was a commie and the far left thought he was far right.

    I read a comment today how only liberals think AOC is a leftist and I realized the average person is politically illiterate and that makes democracy fundamentally flawed.

      This is impossible unless you’re under 18, which is against the TOS of most/all Lemmy instances.

            At the start of his term we were hiding in houses and fighting for toilet paper and by the end of it things were much better.

            The Inflation Reduction Act was probably the most progressive bill since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1930s New Deal programs.

              Hugely disingenuous to claim that a global pandemic ending was a policy change.

              And while the IRA was a decent piece of legislation, I’d love to hear how it was the “most progressive bill” since the New Deal. Hint: expensive ≠ progessive, especially when tangible results are hard to pin down.

              (Not saying Biden was a bad president, but it’s fair to say he was a mediocre one)

                Hugely disingenuous to claim Biden’s response to the pandemic wasn’t better than Trump’s.

                  Whew, good thing I didn’t claim that then.

                  Perhaps you have fallen into the common trap of thinking “better than Trump” equates to “objectively good”.
