Back in 2008, I honestly had no idea why Biden's nomination was significant. He looked like a sop to the centrists rather than a broker for the plutocrats. In retrospect, I probably should have known better. But I was high on that "Anybody But Bush" drug, and Obama seemed like a far more attractive option than Clinton (nevermind McCain). So Biden didn't bother me until much later on.
he just never closed guantanamo, and started bombing weddings and hospitals and pine nut farmers
Yeah. The Gitmo thing in particular was just so nauseating. After all that Unitary Executive bullshit Bush had employed with abandon, it seemed downright trivial for a decent human being with Presidential authority to finally lance and drain that shameful sore on the American conscience. But year after year, long after the whole Congressional do nothing charade had turned into a sick joke, he just kinda organized another commission to question the logistics of thinking about the legality blah blah blah.
Literally all that asshole was good for was another package of excuses. Absolutely worthless piece of shit.
When Dems whine about DeSantis I like to remind them that he got started in GITMO. Obama was such a fucking failure. I remember when talking about climate change he brought up how his daughter was very distressed and her friends had questions and she wanted to know what to say. I am sure he thought his answer was salient because he repeated it. It was some bullshit about "well if we can't avoid 2C we will try to keep it under 3C.
The man basically told his daughter that we are fucked and asking for an unfucked future was meaningless. I can understand saying that to a child you don't know Ala Feinstein but saying it to your own kid is a special kind of fucked up.
