He took us from 2 wars to 7, overthrew Gaddafi, gave us citizens united sc judges, the drone program, made bush tax cuts permanent, crushed occupy Wall Street, empowered the surveillance state, refused to pardon Snowden, etc. im only scratching the surface here

But he roasted trump at some bourgeois dinner party one time so we must pretend he was 21st century FDR now

Don't forget that he either ordered or at least consented to the CIA spying on congress. Although in his defense, he may have been legitimately afraid of getting merked if he made trouble.

You really have to consider Obama in terms of opportunity lost and not just things done. We had a moment in time where both wall st and American foreign policy could have been upended for the better and that poo poo doesn't come along often.

since Dems are set on sticking to aesthetics rather than reform policy, they should get wild with Biden's rare and brief appearances. make himn into a mysterious figure. Have Brooks Brothers design a line of business kimonos for Joe. make Joe a trend setter. Whenever Joe is announced on stage, have the Kaneda theme blaring over the speakers as he rails against the grand excesses of technology and society under the banner of Sinicized Communist authoritarianism. Joe should emulate the guy from Golden Kamuy who wants a return to the shogunate. give Joe a katana and make sure everyone knows how sharp it is

You may think that being the POTUS would make you one of the most powerful men on the planet, but Joe shows us that he's actually a helpless waif, buffeted around by forces completely out of his control, like inflation, gas prices, or formula shortages.

It is really fun to ask libs why they're so afraid of another Trumo term if the president is so powerless to do anything

there was an official withdrawal in 2011 i think, but im not sure if there were still some bases america kept. then there was the re-invasion to fight ISIS, and the official withdrawal from that started under trump then finished under biden last year, but there are still american troops in american bases in iraq with the official mission of training iraqi soldiers to fight ISIS

Yeah, the DPA could be used for a lot of good poo poo. I'm not an attorney, but as near as I can figure, any president could end the housing crisis with the stroke of a pen by using eminent domain to forcibly acquire empty properties/AirBnBs, then use the DPA to force developers to redevelop them into denser housing and ignore zoning poo poo since federal law trumps state and local law.

But we live in a neoliberal hellworld, so anything that's actually good is never gonna happen.
