First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday night, according to a statement. Jill Biden is experiencing mild symptoms and will stay at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., her commu…
That might be the case globally. Regardless, it was never addressed adequately in the US. Practically everyone I know is dealing with some consequence of long COVID and we’re totally behind on vaccination because the issue was so politicized. If you look at this, what’s still going on at the border (a fucking racist wall to keep a certain ethnicity out), human rights being challenged EVERYWHERE and his climate policy it’s clear Biden doesn’t care all that much about things a leftist president should, at the very least.
I see you’re firmly in the “This guy isn’t giving me exactly everything I want so he’s shit!” camp. Cool.
Biden has quietly been the most leftist President in the country’s history, the most effective climate change President in the country’s history, and the most outspoken in support of historically marginalized communities.
He’s not perfect, but guess what no one is. And it turns out that enacting policy in line with the will of 80 million voters isn’t limited in scope to just what you’d like the President to do.
immediately, can’t forget the immediately part.
These “leftists” in the comments here are just children throwing tantrums, they’re not real leftists, they’re not real anything. They don’t want real solutions, they want mommy and daddy to come in and magically fix all their problems.
“ Biden has quietly been the most leftist President in the country’s history, the most effective climate change President in the country’s history, and the most outspoken in support of historically marginalized communities.”
What? He’s notably right, economically, in my memory, but I’m not his age yet. You…you do know people can be economically right and socially left, don’t you?
Also, even if he were the most leftist president in the US^1 That doesn’t make him all that leftist if you look at the breadth of the political spectrum globally.

The sheer amount of ostensibly unknowing fascist shills here is disheartening. Ostensibly being key. Psyops are real and governments only have to convince a few then they do the dirty work without an iota of self-probing. Thank you for being honest. It’s refreshing.
As an actual leftist, I can say with a great deal of authority that Biden is NOT a leftist President. He’s very much capitalist, like Trump
A problem created by Trump.
Both problems created by Trump.
A problem created by Trump and continued by Texas’s state government.
There are more conservatives EVERYWHERE than there are President Bidens ANYWHERE.
Won’t disagree here, he could do a lot more here.
A lot of your complaints are problems created by conservatives and criminals, that Biden hasn’t been able to fix. He’s not a progressive superhero and he was never going to be. He’s a janitor, and I don’t see any productivity in getting mad at the guy holding a mop. Yeah, I would have loved Bernie or Warren too, but with the double whammy of first past the post voting and billionaire conservative power-brokers, Biden was always going to be better than the alternative.
He’s not trump, yeah yeah. Still doesn’t change the fact he has done a shit job as “janitor” and wasn’t anybody’s first choice except those that convienently ignore his past comments and actions as a individual (smelling little girls, defending segregation, joking about running over reporters, just vile career politician stuff all the way through) But regardless, that shouldn’t be his whole sell though, and it is. I wish I was wrong, but you really can’t deny it’s a super weak one.
I never got this criticism. It’s weird, but it doesn’t hurt anyone. It’s not sexually or physically abusive, it’s just an odd thing to do.
You never got the criticism because it was not actual criticism, it was a malicious meme generated and amplified by the alt right to smear Biden.
I’m literally going to start at the Know Your Meme page and look up the people in the Spread section:

Also fascinating to watch so many self-proclaimed “leftists” parrot Fox News talking points. I swear I think some of these people want the fascists to win so they can get their chance to cosplay revolutionary.
Zero acknowledgement that every revolution in history has violently decimated the working class and only replaced one power hierarchy with another. Oh, but their revolution is gonna be totally different…
That’s probably because he is anything but leftist.
Yeah dude’s a staunch conservative by any reasonable metric, regardless of what the democrats want everyone to think.
Most of his policies were too far right for even Reagan. But we are not supposed to talk about Biden’s history prior to 2019.
People fail to acknowledge he was Obama’s VP, too. Nobody wants to admit he’s at least partly the reason Trump gained enough traction to come into office at all in the first place.
Trump is Obama’s legacy, had he not turned it on the typical neolib POS the party wouldn’t have lost
He’s leftist, you’re just way out in looney toon land.
Lol sorry no. It’s a result of the Overton window shifting so far right in the US that now some people think anti-labor (e.g., response to train worker strike) is somehow leftist. If you have a more complete understanding of the political spectrum you know better.
