A few points:

One - In what way did Biden “save America from Covid”?

Two - This article says that Americans picked the convicted felon over him, but the opposite is true. He won the only election in which he ran against Trump, and then withdrew the second one. The American people picked the convicted felon over Kamala, not Biden.

Three - Describing Biden’s full on cognitive decline as “walking and talking like an old man” really obscures what we all saw and heard during that debate.

Four - Why is this writer pretending that Biden’s legacy is going to be anything other than funding and supporting the horrific genocide that we’ve all seen broadcast directly to our phones every day for the last year and a half?

In 2020, when Trump was in office, covid killed 385k americans.

In 2021, after Biden took power, covid killed 463k americans ... and another 246k in 2022 ... and another +100k between 2023 to 2024.

Biden begged cities to spend covid relief funds on police budgets

Biden didn't save anyone. He just repealed all the protections and social safety nets designed to keep people safe so that the economy could continue chugging along.

Listen Jack, it was only 610* last week. That's way down!

*Assuming the states are reporting numbers accurately

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

That's the neat part! A lot of them just stopped reporting cases altogether! 😀

I love how there is actual polling data about how the genocide was the largest reason people didn't vote Democrat and libs will still be like, "They're just too stupid to look past how old he ~~is~~ looks, walks, and talks (he's not actually old!)" blob-no-thoughts

His legacy is all the bad stuff he did for like fifty years in government, then lying about having shit for brains which led more or less directly to a got dang cheeter in the White House

Regarding four: History books will downplay the United States' involvement with Israel's genocide, I guarantee it.

Biden would have lost even harder than Harris.

I agree with this, however leaving Kamala out of the main argument of the article really feels like they’re purposely trying to get her off the hook.
