A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

    He’s been actually one of the best we’ve had. They’re never going to be perfect since you can’t be an angel and get to be president, you gotta make some deals with the devils.

      Not an American, but I think Biden has been the best US president since at least Clinton, and perhaps even since Carter.

      (Although I do agree he is too old… Does the democratic party really not have a younger equally capable candidate?)

      Obama was a very popular and charismatic guy, but I think he kind of squandered his popularity and failed to achieve results.

      Obama wasn’t successful with the ACA, or Iraq/Afghanistan or the Supreme Court. He didn’t even achieve a minimum wage increase after 2009. Didn’t tackle wallstreet.

      He should have been a bit more confrontational and twisted some arms to achieve results.

      Meanwhile Biden is just steamrolling a lot of successes with a razer thin Senate majority.
