    Yes Biden is basically running on the idea of solving a lot of the problems he created. He spent most of his life in government. Those of us who are informed came to terms with that in 2020

        None of us can see the future. Doing something in 2005 maybe made some sense at the time. Now he can see the chain from there to now and realizes it wasn’t good or needs fixing. It’s better than ignoring it.

          Plenty of people knew what he did was armful read the article I posted. He was getting paid by the banks and credit lenders at the time. Super ethical dude.

          This isn’t the first time. He’s just as responsible for the rise in incarceration. He tried to vote in a constitutional amendment to make sure states could overturn Roe v Wade. He was pro capital punishment until like five years ago. He did so much horrible shit over the years it’s hard to keep up.

          But now it’s trust me bro, just vote for me one more time and I’ll undo all the horrible shit I did

      Not so much “came to terms” with it as much as “this dumb motherfucker is the only way we escape Trump. I hate him and his policies but I’ll vote for him I fucking guess.” Just like where we are now, but now many are even more pissed because it was already supposed to be just one term of a lesser evil before we’d have new options. Now goal posts are being moved and we all have to do it AGAIN for an asshole like Joe Biden who does not deserve it.

      Why can’t these old fuckers just die already?

          Seems that way. It’s been pretty much how the DNC has operated for the last 20, so why would they change what’s been working for them?

            Considering the staggering losses of state seats during that time, I’m not sure it has been working for them particularly well.

            They’ve sure done a lot of fundraising in that time though!
