Biden, or the left at large, isn't immune to criticism just because Trump, or the right at large, is worse. Biden, the DNC, and the American left are pretty bad right now and deserve criticism even if Trump, the GOP, and the right are much worse. Saying both sides are bad doesn't necessarily mean they're equally bad.
Yes we know. The commenter above you said that both sides are not the same, not that the democrats are perfect.
Chips act, drug control prices, non competes banned, green energy, going for Roe, student debt reform, weed, PACT act, etc, etc, Get outta here with that ~~bothsidessame~~ oh he tried the "left pretty bad" instead.
No, I agree. I think for all his flaws, Biden has been a better president than expected. I'm just pointing out that there IS a lot to criticize Biden and the Democrats for. From running Biden a second time to not better executing the withdrawal from Afghanistan to placing restriction on how Ukraine could defend itself when Putin first invaded to not focusing on rebuilding their image in states like Florida or Ohio to not going at Republicans harder to a lot of Democratic politicians participating in insider trading... they're not great. In fact they're pretty bad. Are they as bad as the Republicans? No, of course not. But the statement that both parties in the country are bad does hold some truth to it.
B b b b Biden bad!1
Biden is bad objectively, I don't how you can look at him and say "wow, that's a good president". Despite his glaring flaws, he still preformed better than I expected, and he's leagues above his opponent who also has glaring flaws, but 100x worse. It's pretty sad that we're in a position we're these are options.
Green energy via IRA, union empowerment, student debt forgiveness, marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure (build back better), drug price controls, chips act, PACT act, etc etc etc. Non-competes banned (by FTC, but apparently was voted for along 'party lines'). Pardoning people kicked out for being gay. And supporting Ukraine. Fucking great President. Get outta here with that objectively bad nonsense.
*Oh geez I already listed a bunch of this off to you and you're still b b b Biden bad. Unbelievable. At least you dropped your comparison act and revealed you think "objectively bad" aka it will always be b b b Biden bad.
But it's very important that it always happen during election year. Just in case the Republicans have it too hard.
They don't happen during election years, they happen every year. That's the thing with a two party system, a lot of people will disenfranchised from both parties. People who don't support either candidate or either party are forced to pick between the lesser of two evils, and therefore will end up voting for a candidate that's neither good or aligns with values.
