    he didn’t make any major errors in actual governing

    He did. Chief amongst them rolling out the red carpet for the fascist takeover by slow walking almost all the investigation into the Mango Mussolini and his crime network and doing his very best to get back to the same status quo politics that resulted in the FIRST Trumpian infestation of the white house.

      That’s true. Tangerine Palpatine should have been in jail by the end of Biden’s term. But Biden believed in an independent DOJ, which is how the government is meant to function.

        There’s believing in an independent DOJ, and then there’s appointing fucking Merrick “conservative in the original sense of the word to the extreme AND a moderate Republican” Garland as AG.

        The only worse choice for AG would have been someone like Aileen Cannon or a literal Republican politician.

          Yeah that was always my fear from the start with Biden, that he was more like a Reagan Republican than a true liberal. He actually beat my extremely low expectations in that regard.
