    I see you’re firmly in the “This guy isn’t giving me exactly everything I want so he’s shit!” camp. Cool.

    Biden has quietly been the most leftist President in the country’s history, the most effective climate change President in the country’s history, and the most outspoken in support of historically marginalized communities.

    He’s not perfect, but guess what no one is. And it turns out that enacting policy in line with the will of 80 million voters isn’t limited in scope to just what you’d like the President to do.

      “This guy isn’t giving me exactly everything I want

      immediately, can’t forget the immediately part.

      These “leftists” in the comments here are just children throwing tantrums, they’re not real leftists, they’re not real anything. They don’t want real solutions, they want mommy and daddy to come in and magically fix all their problems.

      “ Biden has quietly been the most leftist President in the country’s history, the most effective climate change President in the country’s history, and the most outspoken in support of historically marginalized communities.”

      What? He’s notably right, economically, in my memory, but I’m not his age yet. You…you do know people can be economically right and socially left, don’t you?

        Also, even if he were the most leftist president in the US^1 That doesn’t make him all that leftist if you look at the breadth of the political spectrum globally.

      “most leftist president in our country’s history” Previous presidents have set real low standards, my dude. I’m glad he’s rescheduling pot too but he has not done enough to earn that title or people like you wasting your time on his behalf. He and the DNC ignored a HUGE progressive movement in this country to set him up to sleep through more debates next year. As long as the electoral college decides who’s president I don’t want to endorse either mainstream candidate more than direct action against a inhumane, unhinged, and disconnected government. Still crossing my fingers for a good green candidate, and I’ll probably vote that way, but rioting, purposeful vandalism and organization in equal, abundant measure are the only things that could give me real hope at this point. Wish I could have your optimism and confidence in authority, must be nice.
