She will most likely not be a great president, but could be a good one. If Biden wasn't so poor on the Middle East, he would have been a great one, from a policy perspective.
Maybe she's just waiting for the election to be over before she disbands AIPAC and cuts ties with natenyahu?
And then personally arrest Trump and abolish the Electoral College while smoking a fat blunt.
I’m fine with how Afghanistan went. The military would have dragged it out for another 10 years. I’d much rather have a suboptimal quick withdrawal.
Edit:
~~Did anyone die~~? A quick Google search shows yes. That's horrible. I've read several news sources on it but I'm wondering if you've found out the facts about that bombing? It's more digging than I have the time for right now.
Biden never was going to be a great president, lacking a a majority in both houses means you burn up too much political capital to get anything done that doesn't already have broad bipartisan support. And with how divided politics is today compared to any point in history where we had a great president, there is no such thing as bipartisan today.
Yeah, passing the new deal in the McCarthy era was cake.
Do you live in an alternate timeline?
I was being over broad. The first red scare was after WW1 and was a prominent feature of Republican politics from that point onwards. If you look into the resistance to the new deal, it was the same red scare nonsense that McCarthy rode as a wave.
Did the Trump era start in 2016, or did he simply usurp a rising fascist current in American society? I personally think it's more of the latter than the former. Likewise with McCarthy, but it's fair that I was corrected.
... The new deal was passed 10 years before the McCarthy era. FDR was dead before McCarthy even started his red scare.
And supported labor better.
And supported labor ~~better~~.
