Hahaha at Vaughn and Rottinghaus low-key throwing shade at Biden. Let's look at their quote closely:
translation: his greatest achievement has been not being Trump
than Trump (of course)
Predicted greatest legacy in the hopefully remaining four years: Be re-elected. Lol
Man i dunno if it was on purpose to basically reduce his legacy to "better than nothing" but they certainly stopped well short of praise, didn't they?
No, the achievement was actually winning the election. Unlike Hilary for example.
But, the thing is... she did. The Electoral College was designed specifically to stop the peasants from ending the rich's preferred party rule.
Well, she didn't win enough.
2.9 million more civilian votes should have been enough. But this is 'Murica, created by the rich, for the rich, and controlled by the rich. Clinton would have fucked up that steady stream of bribes from Russia.

And Biden got 7 million more votes. That's his achievement. He not only 'would have won if not for the rigged system' but actually won. You see the difference?
You don't understand The Electoral College, or why it's there, do you?
No, you don't understand that Biden is president and Hilary wasn't. Everything else is just some meaningless BS.
You are a child. We're done.
Oh no! Please, don't deprive me of your wisdoms! Tell me more about The Electoral College!
basically that's why he was elected. he wasn't trump. That's his whole platform, that's it. It's not necessarily a bad platform, but it's not really gonna leave much, as far as his legacy is concerned.
Sorry, but this is one of those hyperbolic, uninformed, useless hot takes the Internet LOVES. You can literally look up his platform online, like so many places.
Here's Politifact tracking 99 of his campaign promises.

I love these comments. Required the absolute minimum amount of work/"research" and yet utterly devastating and unrefutable response.
inseet honest work doing my part memes
It's not just being not Trump. But he beat Trump. That's like stopping a forest fire from taking out the west coast and calling it "not burning trees."
In 2009, the nobel peace prize was given to someone for not being Bush. Same difference here.
And that guy did drone strikes on civilians..
(Yes, I voted for him twice)
I'd vote for him again too.
