[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lifelong Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020, but is growing more and more concerned about his lack of leadership so far.

Congressional Democrats are fractured. Progressives are threatening to torpedo the infrastructure bill. Moderates are threatening to torpedo the budget reconciliation bill. Biden is nowhere to be seen. He's neither leading nor deputizing someone to lead his domestic policy agenda. He's doing nothing to unite the factions within his own party behind him. His absence has Democrats tearing into each other while Republicans gleefully stand on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, everything that could go wrong internationally is practically going wrong: The botched exit from Afghanistan, the recent drone strike that killed innocent civilians in Kabul, the botched diplomacy with France over building submarines for Australia, and the Haitian refugee crisis on the border and mass deportation of Haitians back to Haiti, even though a substantial number of people journeyed to the border from somewhere else.

And where is Kamala Harris? After Biden's inauguration she was seen with him in practically every meeting. Now the Vice President appears to be, umm...flipping coins at football games and planning to go on The View. What gives? Did Biden distance himself from Harris after her own political debacles earlier this year? Is Harris distancing herself from Biden? Regardless, a wedge has formed between the President and VP at a very inopportune time.

Biden spoke all about unity during the Inauguration. He's failing spectacularly. Forget about unity with Republicans and conservatives. He needs to start unifying the Democrats...right now. Otherwise, the party is going to take a shellacking next year when they have nothing to show voters after being in power.

I don't know how people missed that he was wasn't mentally up to the task during the election. I didn't like Trumps comments and toward the end with his Mike Pence comment. Or his lack of losing gracefully. However, he was at least a good leader in terms of the border and economics.  He would have gotten the people out of Kabul first then the military last. So much failure in such a short time.  I too was hoping more for Biden, but he's proving to be a true failure.[/quote]

No offense but I don't care. I, and many others, have PTSD from the Trump years. From threatening Denmark over Greenland to supporting a dictator in the Philippines to putting kids in cages.

I just wanted it to stop. Biden was the answer. Biden has returned normalcy to the office.

I honestly could care less about accomplishing anything significant legislatively. I just want us to course correct back to 2015-2016, when everything was sane.

And that's what he's done. Plus protecting the ACA, getting us the f out of Afghanistan which was always the goal, and putting us back into leadership pacts with NATO and the WTO.

Back to normal. That's all I wanted.

Peace. Serenity. Composure. Not tear-gassing protestors and one tweet away from another Charlottesville. [/quote]

You know Biden just backstabbed NATO hugely with the new AUKUS deal?

I may be one of the rare Americans who actually reads overseas papers. Biden has not gotten positive press abroad in countries that are solid allies for both the handling of the Afghan withdrawal (which he did with very little coordination or even advance notice to our allies) and now the AUKUS deal. Let's put it this way, there's more than a few comparisons being made between Biden and Trump in that they do exactly what benefits America and not anyone else, including allies.

What I do find interesting is that the left went utterly berserk under Trump and promoted huge protests that led to violent riots and tearing down statues and destruction of property - all by left wing people, and somehow that's Trump's fault  :roll: It's fascinating what people want to believe. Things are more serene now? When according to all polls, people are even more unhappy with the direction of the country and the government is as polarized as never before?

Sure, kid yourself. [/quote]
