I don't think Biden being a pragmatic choice is a settled matter. I haven't seen anything that implies he is a meaningful distinction on things I care about.

Israel? Nope

Student debt? Nope

Abortion? Nope

Unions? Nope

Climate change? Nope

The border? Nope

Homelessness? Nope

War on drugs? Nope

Inflation? Nope

Tax lobbying? Nope

Healthcare? Nope

LGBT protection? Maybe if you squint your eyes

Campaign finance? Nope

Difference between productivity and purchasing power? Nope

Breaking up big business monopolies? Nope

Oh yeah...

And...

WAR????????????????? FUCKING NO

The worst most hawkish fascist military might that has ever existed and continues to constrict the entire planet? Nope

The only difference is whether fascists get radicalized or they get emboldened

Friendly reminder that Roe V. Wade was abolished under Biden.

They weren't even saving the issue to cynically run on in 2024, which would be an obvious way to get votes.

Turns out he's just a shitbag who agrees with the decision on some level, so he won't even campaign on it without mincing words.

What a fucking joke. I just can't hear libs complain about how important this election is when the man himself is throwing.

Thank you I feel like I’m the only one in the country willing to blame him for that. I don’t understand why people solely blame Trump and the republicans for a decision that happened under Biden. Yes Trump set the stage for it, but Biden was the one that let it happen.
