    You cant just keep spinning up new churches to suit your ideal version of god and expect credulity.

    You literally set the criteria as “the heaven Biden believes in”. You’re just arguing with yourself.

      yeah i know, its a petty hope anyway and its based on make believe to begin with. Just really hate how instead of doing anything with his presidency he just hurt people with his failures, ineptitude and denial about his lack of capacity for the job. He got what he wanted and noped out leaving people that supported him worse off

        I’m not as critical of his term as president because I don’t think anyone really voted for him as president. He was the Trump blocker.

        I never expected him to be a competent or good president so I never put that expectation on him.

        His purpose was to be a transitionary president, keep Trump out of office for those 4 years while he spotlights and elevates the profile of exciting young democrats and guides the discussion towards hope and excitement in the upcoming primary, where a popular progressive candidate could spark a nationwide discussion and get everyone excited about the democrats for 8 more years.

        It seemed like everyone understood this when he was elected. I don’t know what happened. I don’t know if it was Biden’s ego, or if his handlers manipulated him to keep a job, but his decision to run again was the utmost betrayal of democracy, singlehandedly decimated any possible democratic victory, and destroyed any chance of a positive legacy.

        All he had to do was just go away and his legacy would have been secure.
