    First president to ever join the picket lines, telling pharmaceutical companies the gov will snatch their taxpayer funded patents away if they keep gouging, big steps toward cannabis, major efforts to forgive student loans, lowest inflation rate in the g7, lowest unemployment rate in a very long time, personally involved in getting ceasefires and the like in Gaza, etc etc

    milquetoast

    boring

    I’m no Biden cheerleader but you’re being quite reductive

      While I agree, the general perception is that Biden is boring. He (and democrats in general) is really really bad at championing his own successes. Biden has accomplished a lot, but he has done it without fanfare or news coverage.

      Meanwhile, Trump couldn’t even fart without the media turning it into front page news. Because the media quickly realized that Trump headlines sell views, but Biden headlines don’t. So Biden doesn’t get the same kind of 24/7 media barrage that Trump got. And that makes Biden seem hilariously boring in comparison. When you aren’t constantly waking up to news of how the president almost started a major international scandal due to a tweet he sent at 3AM, things seem pretty chill.
