    support & having a cult-like obsession of someone are very different. You wouldn’t see me trying to overthrow the U.S. government for Biden. On the other hand though…

    Oh my bad, I didn’t know cameras, lights & an audience magically made Biden speak in complete sentences!

    ……..uhh, that’s what i EXPECT of him, whether i like him or not. i’m glad finding a cohesive video of him speaking is such a prize for you though

    “the best way to get something done..well anyways, we’re gonna get a lot done”

    oh yes biden serenade me off my feet

    Keep in mind that the first 2 years of Obama's term, he had majority in both chambers of Congress. Whereas Biden has a 50-50 Senate, including a few conservative democrats.
    Presidents are not dictators. They can only pass laws if Congress approves them.

    Clearly not lol. You’ve literally been rambling on about how he can barley walk & say words. Don’t get mad at me because I was easily able to find clips of him clearing your low bar lol.


    This is literally what you’re doing when you say he can’t speak lol. Putting the bar so low to the ground.

    i wouldnt even say Popularity , its more like celebrity It factor.
    ive said before, that the US electorate got into this habit where they needed the New Thing in presidential elections. part of that is post-reagan "We Need an Outsider" bs, part of that is post-JFK, politicians need to be celebrities or TV ready. but like:

    JFK - camelot Star (Yes)
    lbj, nixon/ford - no lol
    Carter- the peanut farmer, gov anti dc outsider,,, the first 'rock n roll' president (Yes)
    Reagan - fmr hollywood Star, anti DC/government outsider, Rly sets the mold (Yes)
    bush - no lol
    Clinton - generational Star , mr baby boomer third way dem (Yes)
    bush - ehhh kinda. Texas cowboy, anti dc gov, beats a VP (yes/no)
    Obama - Star, global celebrity (Yes)
    Trump - umm. (Yes)

    so biden is the most traditional pol to be president since Bush. it's actually healthy we elected a fmr veep, fmr senator who isnt known for being a star lol. just a stable, decent guy who can handle the job. 58% approval rating etc

    yes exactly, good way to put it. Different types of popularity. Trump and Obama both had IT but for vastly diff reasons.

    also, I think if he had been president post-twitter/insta that would have been a definite yes. Endlessly meme-able moments passed thru chain emails and such even pre-social media

    for sure thats dope. i was sad his grandson lost a few years back or w/e. wouldve been cool to see a dynasty start.

    yup. and BTW, on both bushes this whole 'cowboy' schitck (when theyre new england trust fund brats, the 1%) underscores the whole shift toward celebrity/outsiders in presidential politics. so maybe Bush I and Bush II are kinda Yes' in that mild way

    Trump never held any elected office... not a City Council or even a School Board office. Ended his Presidency with a 34% approval rating. Isn't stable.

    You're a cult follower in a more generally partisan sense. Any sitting Democratic president will have your unlimited and unconditional support, but your true allegiance is to your religion neoliberalism, and therefore to the party that is most transparent in its allegiance to this system, the Democratic Party. Biden is your king for the moment, but his successor, whoever it happens to be (probably Kamala Harris), will do just as well. This differs from the Great Man Worship of Trumpism, where party loyalty and ideology are afterthoughts, if they figure at all.

    Nevertheless, it is often hard to tell the difference between a Biden follower and a Trump follower. Both are partisans, even if for different reasons. And both are blind to their partisanship, even when it's repeatedly pointed out to them. It's just R&D football team politics for the smaller minds of society.

    I’m comparing the questions Biden exposes himself to to the questions Trump exposed himself to. One is substantive questions about his agenda, the other is “SIR I heard you do the Best Deals. Care to comment?”

    Neoliberalism's father was Ronald Reagan and it's mother was Margaret Thatcher and it peaked under their reigns. I don't like them. No one thinks Biden is Ronald Reagan.

    But you don't know what Neoliberalism is and your just using as a buzz word in your salad.

    Democrats obviously aren't perfect... they are trying to make the government and America work... the Republicans for my entire lifetime only get tax breaks for the billionaires and millionaires and f--- up America and the world and are completely embarrassing to me as an American.
