An invisible President is what you want. I only want him visible when abolishing lobbyists and punching down Nazis. Also fining the shit out of lying fascist pundits and fake news vendors. Outside of that I dont need to hear from a President every day.
It's so refreshing not waking up to new presidential news every day. What the president does has very little effect on your day to day life, politics shouldn't be mixed up with entertainment.
I'd happily take a boring president over the last administration... a day that the POTUS isn't reduced to a dried bean salesman is a good day in my book.
“Why are all of these proles complaining about getting crushed by the prole crushing machine? Don’t they realize I’m trying to eat brunch? Why can’t they just be happy with getting slaughtered by the status quo so that people like me don’t have to think about anything unpleasant?”
Clearly. We all know that. But, conversely, if a president did start helping the proles, they would be in the news constantly. Probably heavily maligned too.
Me either. Glad we got that out of the way. Now let me copy someone else's comment from earlier in the thread, because I think it's the point we're all trying to make that you seem extremely unwilling to understand:
If the policy outcomes are the same either way, I don't see why libs are so worked up over whether or not a president is boring.
That's because I should've been more specific - on a spectrum of harmful-> neutral-> beneficial, I'd take neutral over harmful.
The president shouldn't be in the news for advertising Goya beans in the oval office. He shouldn't be conducting diplomacy in 180 characters or less on Twitter. Much of the appeal for the last administration was that he was considered "accessible" due to constantly being in the news, to no real benefit to the American people besides entertainment/feeding the media cycle. It was exhausting to wake up and hear the next mockery of the country on a daily basis.
Biden fucked up the railway unionizing, it's true, but I'd take not hearing about fuckups on the daily over the opposite.
Yeah, good, ok. You have enough wealth and privilege that you can ignore politics and go back to brunch now that Biden is in office. Neat. Good for you.
The most obvious one is that my partner is going to have to start paying down his student loans again. We don't really have the money for that. But, sucks to be us, I guess!
Biden waving his hands to forgive debts is a one-off that only helps a specific batch of folks. For me personally, I'd rather he start an investigation into why college tuitions are so high in the first place, but I don't know if that's actually within the presidents power, and if anything actionable can come out of it.
thanks for sticking up for me Jack. It means a lot. Where do these people get off thinking i have the power to do anything? Its like Strom Thurman used to tell me, these uppity.. uh. I mean we had civility then, no joke. Ah... uh i shouldn't have said that.
The people crushing machine is still running at full bore, Biden is not neutral. You are not neutral. You support the system of the most incredible violence ever created
The fact that the invisible president even registers on the approval scale is an accomplishment
If he's invisible what the fuck is Kamala Harris by comparison?
I think she does more as our running joke chief of the VolCel Police than she does as vice president.
i genuinely forget she's your vice president on a regular basis lol
So do we.
Who?
Kamala Harris! You know... the lady!
Substitute teacher president

It’s amazing that days will pass without any corporate press outlet mentioning Biden on the front page. Even Fox News refrains from mentioning him.

Would be cool if he did that, yeah
A president who did that would be incredibly visible. Certainly Biden isn't.
Lmaooo

Cute. Presidents making the news every day doesn't mean they're helping the common folk, but keep making your assumptions.
Clearly. We all know that. But, conversely, if a president did start helping the proles, they would be in the news constantly. Probably heavily maligned too.
You're right, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen....

So how has federal politics affected you?
The most obvious one is that my partner is going to have to start paying down his student loans again. We don't really have the money for that. But, sucks to be us, I guess!
What's your ideal endgame?

Anyway, I hope they didn't spoil your brunch.

If the policy outcomes are the same either way, I don't see why libs are so worked up over whether or not a president is boring.
This isn’t real, this is parody right?
