    The fact that the invisible president even registers on the approval scale is an accomplishment

      It’s amazing that days will pass without any corporate press outlet mentioning Biden on the front page. Even Fox News refrains from mentioning him.

        A president who did that would be incredibly visible. Certainly Biden isn’t.

        It’s so refreshing not waking up to new presidential news every day. What the president does has very little effect on your day to day life, politics shouldn’t be mixed up with entertainment.

        I’d happily take a boring president over the last administration… a day that the POTUS isn’t reduced to a dried bean salesman is a good day in my book.

          “Why are all of these proles complaining about getting crushed by the prole crushing machine? Don’t they realize I’m trying to eat brunch? Why can’t they just be happy with getting slaughtered by the status quo so that people like me don’t have to think about anything unpleasant?”

            Cute. Presidents making the news every day doesn’t mean they’re helping the common folk, but keep making your assumptions.

              Clearly. We all know that. But, conversely, if a president did start helping the proles, they would be in the news constantly. Probably heavily maligned too.

                You’re right, but I’m not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen…

                  Me either. Glad we got that out of the way. Now let me copy someone else’s comment from earlier in the thread, because I think it’s the point we’re all trying to make that you seem extremely unwilling to understand:

                  If the policy outcomes are the same either way, I don’t see why libs are so worked up over whether or not a president is boring.

                    That’s because I should’ve been more specific - on a spectrum of harmful-> neutral-> beneficial, I’d take neutral over harmful.

                    The president shouldn’t be in the news for advertising Goya beans in the oval office. He shouldn’t be conducting diplomacy in 180 characters or less on Twitter. Much of the appeal for the last administration was that he was considered “accessible” due to constantly being in the news, to no real benefit to the American people besides entertainment/feeding the media cycle. It was exhausting to wake up and hear the next mockery of the country on a daily basis.

                    Biden fucked up the railway unionizing, it’s true, but I’d take not hearing about fuckups on the daily over the opposite.
