You are also partially responsible for not doing a god damn thing to prepare the government or the country for what was coming before you left. You just fucked off since the election and coasted into to the sunset while covering your own ass. I’m not saying he was the worst, but man, he could have done so much fucking better in the end.
Don’t stop there. Let’s hear what you think he should have done so we can evaluate your argument on its merits instead of the strawman you’ve constructed.
Well, just to name a few:
- sack Garland after it became apparent that he was not fit for purpose. Better yet, he shouldn’t have even picked him
- sack DeJoy (do not give me that bullshit about how “his hands were tied” - that’s demonstrably a matter of interpretation)
- GOP wants to lean into the maximalist interpretation of executive power? Maliciously comply.
- pack the court
I can go on, at length, but I’m sure you’re starting to get the point.
sack Garland after it became apparent that he was not fit for purpose. Better yet, he shouldn’t have even picked him
Garland did the job he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigation so biden could run against trump again.
Better yet, he shouldn’t have even picked him.
Did you skip that part?
Crab is on your side, he thinks Garland was the worst choice for actually stopping Trump. Garland was put on for slowing the court system to allow Biden to defeat Trump twice.
No, no, no. It’s all the voters’ fault and we need to move to the right even harder to pick up the votes of the chewing tobacco set.
Or at least that’s the justification. Democrats know damned well that moving to the right doesn’t work but they keep doing it anyway because they want to.
Wanna bet how long until the Lemmy Libs still blame the voters/progressives/anti-genocide/Latinos/whatever boogyman still?
When their own personal saint of Neoliberals admits he sucked at his job at stopping Trump, do you think they will or think he’s been “Tainted” by Russian bots too?
“he should have done more to “advertise” his agenda, including accomplishments that he said could bear results years after he left office.”
Yeah no. An accomplishment that maybe kinda sorta happens 4-6 years from now isn’t actually an accomplishment and everyone knows that.
“Look, I know we don’t have EV infrastructure NOW, but man… in 2030…”
No. It doesn’t work like that. You threw billions at the project and accomplished fuck all. That’s not a win.
$7.5 billion for charging stations.
0 built 2 years later.

Or maybe it’s 7 in 4 states?

Would you believe 214 in 12 states?
Or, you know, Trump just shuts it down:

Every time Democrats do something good, its always 10+ years away from actualizing, enabling Republicans to either remove it when they gain control, or claim it’s their success for the media.
Every time Republicans do something evil, it happens within the month they wanted to do it. Fucking maddening.
