    Right right. That’s why he needed to start doing things 3.9 years ago instead of screwing around for so long. What a failure. Or a success, depending on your perspective.

      Have you been living under a rock for 4 years? The fuck you mean he spent 3.9 years screwing around on this, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. This is one of the things Biden pursued hardest in the face of ridiculous opposition. It went to the Supreme Court. Like two years ago.

        Yeah I read the news, I still read the news. And all of it was him doing very little. When he predictably didn’t get what he hoped for, he apparently had no backup plan. It seemed like he was doing everything low key, low energy, no PR campaign. Amateur hour.

        Now we can blame some of that on mainstream media having bad coverage. But that aspect was entirely predictable. He’s a pro, decades of experience, he should have had some plan for that.

      And this is why Trump won. Because people like YOU. Just because YOU didn’t pay attention for 4 years, doesn’t mean he sat on his ass doing nothing.

      I hope reality hits you like a truck now.

      Biden had the same challenges Obama did when Obama had his terms. Republicans got in the way. But Obama was still dealing with moderate and crazy but tamed Republicans who still sided with Bush at the time and propped McCain and Romney to oppose him.

      Biden was going up against a more insane breed of Republicans who’ve gotten a nice dosage of the first 4 years with Trump, who’ve turned the country upside down and all around. Everything was going to be an uphill battle moreso than Obama’s struggle was.
