A good in-depth discussion of media bias in political reporting, or why is it that Biden voters are encouraged to understand an empathize with Trump voters but Trump voters are never asked to understand Biden voters?

He’s been actually one of the best we’ve had. They’re never going to be perfect since you can’t be an angel and get to be president, you gotta make some deals with the devils.
Not an American, but I think Biden has been the best US president since at least Clinton, and perhaps even since Carter.
(Although I do agree he is too old… Does the democratic party really not have a younger equally capable candidate?)
Obama was a very popular and charismatic guy, but I think he kind of squandered his popularity and failed to achieve results.
Obama wasn’t successful with the ACA, or Iraq/Afghanistan or the Supreme Court. He didn’t even achieve a minimum wage increase after 2009. Didn’t tackle wallstreet.
He should have been a bit more confrontational and twisted some arms to achieve results.
Meanwhile Biden is just steamrolling a lot of successes with a razer thin Senate majority.
We’re on the same page I think, he’s done some amazing things and no one talks about it. Clinton wasn’t a great person but he was a good president. Carter was a great person but had some issues with being too nice for politics imo. He couldn’t make any deals with the devils but he can definitely sleep at night. We have so many corrupt people in our upper government that I don’t wish that job on anyone.
I hope this guy runs someday: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Swalwell
Swalwell certainly seems like a dude whose head is attached to his ass, a rare trait in DC.
The episode where McCarthy said “Call me a coward again and I’ll kick your ass,” to which Swalwell replied “You. Are. A. Coward,” is also pretty endearing, despite his repetition of a gendered insult. (The word wasn’t coward)
He was great during the hearings and trials as well, he seems like a real dude.
I’ll take a level-headed non-showy president who does what he can to enact his promises over a charismatic mouthpiece any day of the week.
