Biden is not in charge of anything; Obama is.

Truth is: top administration officials consult Obama on issues and follow his orders; not Biden’s.

If Obama were in charge, we'd be in a much better place right now as a country; not because of policy but because of leadership. Above all political policy discussion and disagreements, we need an elite leader that can lead the most powerful country in the world on a global scale. The one quality, or lack thereof, shared by Trump and Biden is their piss poor leadership skills and we have been feeling the effects of this since 2017.

Hate to break this to you but much of the current collapse in political and social trust began under Obama and is the consequence of a lot of his adminstration's policies.

Yea, I'd like to know what specifically Obama did to contribute to a collapse in political and social trust? It's fine to disagree with his policies but Obama was transparent and genuine with his political agenda and he was a fit, dependable leader. You can't compare an Obama 2012 to a Trump or Biden 2024. Apples and sour oranges.

NP
Trans nonsense was introduced and pushed heavily by Obama.

Fast forward and now today we have child sex offenders who are 6’2” with male appendages sharing prison cells with women.

There is no "both sides" here.

The people supporting Biden/Harris?

Yes, I agree: Biden voters are incredibly stupid and gullible.

Stop practicing political science and start practicing science DEMOCRATS, and we won't have a problem.

Your pre-canned "science" to shift federal dollars to your pet projects isn't cutting it. Everyone was on to your games long ago.

Yeah, you lost that pro science argument when the left went berserk during covid.

I’m scared the world is going post-truth anyway with the advent of convincing ai deep fakes. I honestly wonder if all important meetings will need to be face to face at some point to ensure it’s not some ai generated scenario.

What he did was he was be black. It's as simple as that. I'm a white person who has family members who will admit their unhappiness with that aspect of him privately if not publicly.

Covid killed more than a million Americans including members of my family. You think the status quo was called for during an extreme health crisis like that? Do you disrespect health care workers that much? Wow.

This is a very valid concern.

The decisions made during COVID by the left were indefensible from both scientific and moral standards. From shutting down the lab leak theory to the unscientific six foot distancing rule, to the closing of outdoor playgrounds and masking of two year olds, the destructive and useless extended school closures, unwillingness to acknowledge that cloth masks were not protective, to the forced admission of COVID positive patients into nursing homes, the mistakes and disregard of science go on and on.

Pretty much. That is just the truth. Nothing post truth about it.

You can try, but there will be consequences in the next election.

Too many Americans focus on personalities and not ideas. Focus on the ideas.
