        I don’t know that I agree.

        Would be really nice to have a progressive president that fights to get us health care, equal rights, and living wages to such an obscene degree as Trump did to ban Muslims. Instead, we have a president who makes promises and doesn’t keep them, even when he has a majority for half of his term.

        And when you hear he did something, your first response isn’t “Oh God. What did he tweet out now? Did he declare war on a country? He declared war on a country because they criticized him, didn’t he?!!!”

      Honestly I voted “not Trump” but he wound up being a shockingly effective President.

        Tbf since trump even a trash panda would make have a good impact on the US if it became president. Trump kind of stole our expectations of what a competent president should look like.

        Biden wasn’t my top pick in the primaries. (Bernie Sanders was.) When he was the nominee, I jumped on board because any issues I had with Biden paled in comparison with issues I had with Trump. I figured that Biden wouldn’t be perfect but would be decent. He definitely hasn’t been perfect, but even on his worst days he’s been SOOOO much better than Trump on Trump’s best days.
