It's not his fault though. If you could sack your president and elect a new one tomorrow, the new one would do the same. Your electoral system ensures it. You need electoral reform to have a chance of fixing anything.

How does that make it not his fault?

because the system selects for people like him. in a working democracy people like him would be licking stamps, or in a nursing home. you can't change anything by changing the man, only by changing the system.

Taking power in a system that empowers horrible people doesn't make him any less horrible

"Just following orders" energy but for the guy actually giving the orders lmao.

I mean, let's be real, Biden is absolutely operating under orders. If he tried to execute an original idea that went against one major industry or another, he'd "have a medical incident" real quick

The fact that he volunteered for that role, and his genocidal glee get him the wall
