Criticism and disappointment at this moment is inevitable. Most Democrats who support Biden aren’t pretending the buck doesn’t stop with the president. But we’re also feeling that everything happening right now was inevitable, that there was no way to have a good outcome, and blame games are a waste of time. Biden was boxed in by decisions made by prior presidents, and his errors in handling the details pale against the errors which brought us to this moment.
Claiming he isn’t in charge is ridiculous; he has minor senior moments, but he’s still sharper than most adults in their prime. Did you watch the debates, how often he had a quick, relevant and stinging reply? He was thinking on his feet. You can’t script and puppet control that, or Pence would have done better in his debate.
No one is perfect, but not an ounce of me regrets voting for Biden. I believe he remains the best choice we had for this time in history.
I find it frustrating that US politics is either so entertaining or such an international gossip magnet that any foreign National would spend more time with it than their own. This is real life to me; not an intellectual exercise, and foreign influences can have a profound negative effect on the debate, increasing dangerous divisiveness while lacking all the necessary background perspective. Even if it’s from Nationals in a friendly country, there is a point at which the input exceeds any potential usefulness as an outside perspective.
