“Why are all of these proles complaining about getting crushed by the prole crushing machine? Don’t they realize I’m trying to eat brunch? Why can’t they just be happy with getting slaughtered by the status quo so that people like me don’t have to think about anything unpleasant?”
Clearly. We all know that. But, conversely, if a president did start helping the proles, they would be in the news constantly. Probably heavily maligned too.
Me either. Glad we got that out of the way. Now let me copy someone else's comment from earlier in the thread, because I think it's the point we're all trying to make that you seem extremely unwilling to understand:
If the policy outcomes are the same either way, I don't see why libs are so worked up over whether or not a president is boring.
That's because I should've been more specific - on a spectrum of harmful-> neutral-> beneficial, I'd take neutral over harmful.
The president shouldn't be in the news for advertising Goya beans in the oval office. He shouldn't be conducting diplomacy in 180 characters or less on Twitter. Much of the appeal for the last administration was that he was considered "accessible" due to constantly being in the news, to no real benefit to the American people besides entertainment/feeding the media cycle. It was exhausting to wake up and hear the next mockery of the country on a daily basis.
Biden fucked up the railway unionizing, it's true, but I'd take not hearing about fuckups on the daily over the opposite.
The people crushing machine is still running at full bore, Biden is not neutral. You are not neutral. You support the system of the most incredible violence ever created
Yeah, good, ok. You have enough wealth and privilege that you can ignore politics and go back to brunch now that Biden is in office. Neat. Good for you.
The most obvious one is that my partner is going to have to start paying down his student loans again. We don't really have the money for that. But, sucks to be us, I guess!

Cute. Presidents making the news every day doesn't mean they're helping the common folk, but keep making your assumptions.

You're right, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen....

So how has federal politics affected you?
