It’s a reasonably fair claim that Biden has been more progressive than Obama
Nope. Neither fair nor accurate. Obama picked Biden to assuage the fears of white conservative Democrats and Biden is the exact same guy that he’s always been. His age isn’t much of a problem in itself, but his outdated policy positions and opinions are.
He entered politics before the invention of the walkman and he hasn’t changed or acknowledged any of his mistakes since then.
definitely isn’t outrageous enough to justify ranting about crack smoking and traumatic brain damage.
You haven’t actually commented on anything recent, just vague references to his non-presidency years (people are allowed to change). Nor have you shown that any of the listed presidents were more progressive. Your argument is “nuh uh”. You claim he failed. How? You didn’t even take the low hanging fruit of “Isreal” or “continued border bullshit”.
Pretty low, actually. Viking_Hippie is actually a pretty legit Lemmy contributor, despite having some utter garbage takes on American politics and making occasionally disingenuous arguments for them, as above. Pretty sure he’s Danish though, not Russian.
When I was doing my 2 second google search, I spotted the whitehouse.gov link (and it’s what reminded me about Ketanji Brown Jackson), but figured the person I was responding to would mark that as biased.
Yet Biden managed to fail anyway.

For the reasons stated above, I beg to differ.
Oh good, I’m not the only one to say it.

Here, I’ll start: nominated the first black woman to the supreme court. More low hanging fruit, but you’ve set the bar rather low. He’s been doing quite a lot for the LGBT community, which is a pretty big reversal from his past.
See. Two sentences, one source, and now there’s substance. Now. Refute me.
And… fucking crickets.
Shocking. What’s the over/under on that person being a Russian troll?

Fair enough. A lesson in “not every bad take is Russian”.
Here let me help.

Yeah there’s been a few Lemmy or Reddit links that have had similar lists I thought I saved but couldn’t find them. Had to default to that.
