I think people really overestimate the extent to which a Biden administration is going to be able to slow down the worldwide crisis of capitalism.
Big time. Biden is a dottering fool who will bring with him the best talent and funding the professional political consultancy circuit has to offer - and still, I think his administration will snap like a twig under the sheer social and economic forces at play here. Everyone seems to think Biden will come in and satiate everyone with faux-progressive rhetoric and modest reforms the way Obama did, but Biden is no Obama, we fell for that trick once already, and the conditions today are entirely worse.
Not saying much here. If anyone attracted "the best talent," Obama did, and look how much they managed to fuck up.
But even stagnation would be better then acceleration. Of course, only if you aren't an accellerationist.
Acceleration is only a good idea if you're ready to handle whatever it is you're accelerating towards, and I don't think the left is anywhere near organized enough for that. Things are bad enough that people are being radicalized right now -- radicalizing more people and organizing them under an impotent Biden presidency is probably a better bet than going full fascist and hoping the nascent left can figure it out on the fly.
Yea, I think even stagnating that process would require a Herculean effort, and it's more likely that Biden actively plays into the conditions for further crisis.
I don't think he will lead to anything positive, but personally I take an ineffective fight against global warming, and many billions of dollars, over fighting for more global warming, more deregulations and more cuts. There is no possible positive outcome.
He won't have any affect on the increasing exploitation of the working class and declining conditions as power is shoveled towards capital.
But he's not ideologically opposed to listening to experts, so he'll do better at managing the pandemic, natural disasters, that sort of thing. (And by he, I mostly mean the cabinet and VP that the party selects for him, since he's a senile old man.)

I'm pretty sure this is spam based off some bullshit that I'm not going to pay attention to, but your post made me think about how I actually have no idea what John Kerry's voice sounds like despite being old enough to remember that election pretty clearly.
