Normally I try not to care much about what individual celebrities think about politics. Mark Hamill is a lib, “so what?” I figure. Most Americans are libs of one stripe or another, usually it’s not worth getting worked up about.
But this one in particular, whooee. What the hell has Biden even done, other than not be Trump? He’s a President without vision, “nothing will fundamentally change”. He passed an infrastructure bill and appointed some not so terrible NLRB picks. What else did he even do? Some bullshit loan forgiveness that looks good in a headline but actually does jack shit for most people in debt? Ditto on climate stuff and green energy?
Like, obviously there’s a lot from a left perspective to criticize about the likes of FDR, JFK, and LBJ, but from a liberal perspective they were all Presidents with a strong vision who wanted to create a soft domestic welfare state. So that’s easily way better than Biden. Hell, even Obama had the ACA under his belt. Surely, from Hamill’s perspective, Clinton’s America was better than Biden’s? Surely, from a liberal perspective, Biden doesn’t compare favorably to any post-WWII democratic President except maybe Carter?

You’ve made one critical mistake: you’re assuming a liberal to have object permanence.
