    So it's kinda surreal how I knew biden was going to be a bad president, but he's actually leagues worse

    I don't know how long liberals will be able to keep this up. They are treating biden the exact way republicans treated trump

      It's even more pathetic, because at least Trump provided slop for his hogs. Meanwhile Biden's out here bumping fists with MBS, ramping up nuclear tensions with Iran, building the border wall, and doing jack shit about any of the number of domestic crises. Not even the shitlibs are getting what they wanted. Nobody is getting a fucking thing except the finance zombies to hold this party by the balls.

      There are a hundred thousand hogs out there who would take a bullet for Trump. All Biden's got are overpaid shitheads who can spend 16 hours a day scoldtweeting.

        Shitlibs are getting what they want, they just pretended like they wanted something different during the primaries and early in the Biden admin (when everything was still "in the future").

          The thing liberals want more than anything else is for their precious institutions to be held in high regard. Congress (article I) has 16% public approval, Biden (article II) has 36%, and the Supreme Court (article III) has something like 39%. Democratic party apparatchiks are doing fine, but this is really fucking bad for liberalism, and there are many liberals well read enough to understand this. They have built themselves a world where the legislature is only a fraction as popular as the cops.

      I briefly felt good when he pulled out of Afghanistan. But it looks like he only did it in order to implement an even crueler policy on them. And he isn't pulling out of the countries where sanctions would be less cruel than the status quo (Yemen), while he is also very belligerent against Iran.

        I seriously believe at this point they only pulled out of Afghanistan because Biden had heard about before because his son was a veteran and because there were already plans in place to do so (if as messily as possible). Idk at this point, it's incredibly difficult to reverse engineer these decisions.

        He pulled from afghanistan because the situation was unsustainable. When obama took power there were 2k taliban then it was 16k then 60. 4 years later it was 200k. And so on. Trump just ignored the problem. When nothing could be done he decided to pull out in may. Then biden tried his best to stay, pull out later but everything collapsed and the got removed? in august. That is after the trump deadline. They got removed they did not leave. That is the important thing.

            Peple dislike ocupation by a foreing power. Obamas surge meant the ocupation was more noticeable. And for all his suposed cynicism obama was a true belever. So he was more active in nation building than bush. People also dont like it when someone else tells them to do stupid shit.

            If some of that reconstruction money wold have been used to build concrete things lile roads and railways things may have bern diferent. The more developed regions began their insurgency later. But a majority of that money was used for ideoological shit. Or to make admonistrative reforms that made everyones life harder but ultimatle did not increase tax base. Or to pay 100k to mayor butt for a power point presentation.

            My point was that biden did not chose to leave he had to. He was removed by a very popular insurgency.

            We may not like it because they maigth be reactionar in some ways. But they defeated the americans. The forced them out. I think we should recogise that.

        Yes but no. When the crops start to die they're toast but they don't think it can happen so silver lining: these dumb motherfuckers will die in denial.

          Unfortunately, because of their class position they will be the last to die, if they die at all. They will side with the fascists, hoard all the remaining resources and kill everyone else.

      So it’s kinda surreal how I knew biden was going to be a bad president, but he’s actually leagues worse

      The American Empire was going to have to collapse sooner or later. And it wasn't going to continuously decay under a good president.

      All told, America's going to shit but a lot of other regions are doing rather well. Biden's the accelerationist President. A shit politician, but he's bringing this thing down from the inside better than any leftist could dream of.
