    i mean, obama was so important for historic and symbolic reasons. but rn, imo, i feel the democrats have learned a few lessons from the obama years, esp in terms of how to deal with GOP opposition. child tax credit alone is a v meaningful achievement.

    has biden done anything to rival ACA yet? no. but the jury is still out on all the infrastructure bills. we get even a fraction of the reconiliation plans, thats a huge win.

    True but there’s protocols which extended their ability to effectively eradicate the virus from the population more than just mask-wearing. Testing was the main one to track the virus to break the transmission & then self-isolation, which is the opposite of what a lot of the failed response countries did. We were told in early Jan that family clusters were the main spread source at about 70~% - so the Asian countries revised their protocols & stopped in-house grouped isolations, the others didn't.

    It just got to a point in the Western countries that the virus was everywhere, we never had a full lockdown anywhere, just social lockdowns or the odd ‘local’ lockdown, but the virus was already flowing through the whole population & regions at all of these points for these protocols to be any form of eradication. This is the problem when your countries are constantly engulfed in culture wars, it stops people from rationally listening to science, everything has an ‘agenda’ lol.

    Certainly like his more hands-off foreign policy compared to Obamas "bomb everything" way of going about things.

    Domestically, the Rescue Plan is a h--- of an achievment. Jobs Plan is lookin good, ready for them to pass it already, even though it's takin f---in forever.

    Things are quieter, its not "oh f--- whats he gonna do" every day.

    Not bad only 6 months in. On a better track than we were at any point in 2017-2020.

    It’s fun watching Space Monkey get intellectually bukakked here… but, more importantly, it keeps him from shooting up a mosque or something. We are doing a civic service.

    This is hysterical coming from a guy, who less than 12 months ago, was storm front-esque s--- posting about how the Holocaust was exaggerated, gas chambers weren’t real etc. on countless of alts. Why would I ever engage with you on a substantive matter when you have zero credibility? You do nothing but act in bad faith & leap frog from one populist conspiracy theory to the next. You have no form of higher education in the topics you talk but pretend to have some authority/ability to read/comprehend/interpret research better/more accurately than other academics who actually have the credentials. Why should anyone believe anything you have to say, let alone, believe you over people with far more experience/knowledge?

    The difference between you & I is that I understand my lane & limitations of my knowledge. I trust institutions to provide me with factual information about topics that are complex. I don’t make up some boogey man (Jews/big corporations/media/elites whatever dumbshit you spew) as an excuse to dismiss everything that doesn’t fit neatly in my head. You swear you’re the smartest person in the room, the same way the 12 year old who just discovered Illuminati YouTube videos thinks he’s the smartest kid in the room. You’re naive, misguided & overconfident in everything you talk about. So again: my point here wasn’t to debate you on the substance of a research paper on a subject in which neither of us have degrees in. I was merely pointing out the fact that you’re still the same far-right eugenics obsessed loser who had to s--- @Donkey Kong Country d-ck to be allowed back on here.

    Why do you think that? Because he won't go on your favorite Qanon Podcast and answer why he eats babies?

    yes exactly, good way to put it. Different types of popularity. Trump and Obama both had IT but for vastly diff reasons.

    Mos def, but what I mean was that we barely even made it into the second half of the 20th century with train technology let alone the 21st with bullet trains. Shouts out to Eisenhower for building highways cuz I love me a roadtrip but it's pathetic that we're a country that's this big and this rich and we don't have high speed rail at least going from like LA to NY.

    Yeah this is pretty much how I feel. Biden's brain is def on the decline, it doesn't mean he's unfit to lead right now but that could very easily be the case in the future. Regardless of your views on him I think the writing's on the wall there. And this isn't just a Biden thing, it's a 75+ yr old thing. Your brain can go reeeaaallllly fast out of the blue at that age. I think "Grandpa mode" is a good way to put it like andy said lol

    Trump's brain was already murky from hair loss hormone pills and snorting sudafed when he took office (he couldn't even get adderall. Sad!). Trump is a "good" speaker in terms of entertainment because his brain is sludge but he's not a good speaker in the way a president/leader/etc. needs to be.

    People like Jet will go on about how we shouldn't trust everything we see in the media, and while they only started saying that to stand hand in hand with Trump it is true, but then turn around and believe everything people online post that aligns anywhere near anti-government, anti-establishment, etc. and disregard both public and private scholars and researchers on the subject while telling you you're a sheep :kglaugh:

    when tf are these people going to wake up
