Was #Biden a bad president? In any other era, no. He was an exemplary administrator. He got the economy restarted after Trump Episode One put it in the shitter. He appointed Lina Khan to the FTC, a great fighter for the interests of the people against corporate hegemony. He likely did a thousand good works we didn’t even hear about, keeping this nation rolling, and mostly doing what’s right by us. And of course, compared to his predecessor, he’s an absolute saint and superstar.

But as a president installed in the aftermath of a failed insurrection, during a global resurgence of Fascism, overseeing a nation awash in a storm of disinformation financed by our enemies, with the people crying out for justice and accountability, he was an abject failure. Fascist agents made steady progress while he worked his desk job. He did the opposite of rising to the occasion: he pretended it didn’t happen.
