Look at all of this manufactured outrage! It’s glorious! So many people so upset over events that happen in a country they couldn’t have pointed to on a map six months ago, nor were even remotely aware there was even issues there.

MODERATORS
democrats think he's been a great president cause it funds the war machine. leftists agree he's been a shit president because he went back on pretty much all his promises, fucked over striking workers, fucked over the bbb, and is ofc funding a genocide.
Trump sucks but fuck genocide Joe man
Nah, people think he's doing a good job in spite of that particular issue.
Most people aren't like you and are capable of realizing that if you want any possibility of moderating Israel's actions in Gaza, then you need to vote for Joe Biden.
All these "hurt durr genocide Joe" people have no concept of political capital or just about anything else related to the presidents's limited abilities (bully pulpit mostly).
An incumbent president that is interested in helping Palestine in some way, isn't going to do anything or signal that he will, until after he's won re-election. it's about as basic as you can get with respect to electoral politics in current America
aware of the other things but what is bbb?
Get a new bit. This one is getting old.
I agree that he has been a good president - the most progressive president in 50 years (yes, I realize that's a bullshit statement since there have been no even-close-to-progressive presidents). For those who think he's demented, please listen to his interview on Conan O'Brien's podcast. He's phenomenally engaging and has a great wit and memory.
There no way any of these kids are going to watch that. They want to be angry.
