Thats not the whole list of who this guy was, is it. When the 'defund and reallocate' movement resolutions hit Bidens desk he flatly rejected it and increased cop funding instead. You couldnt dickslap civil rights any harder than that.
When students were protesting he started what trump has continued-- persecuting them for expressing their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech, over some contrived definition of antisemitism equating to students "feeling uncomfortable" about other peoples peaceful ideas.
Harris and Biden mustered one of their rare victory laps when they declared that no president had ever been as hard on immigrants and asylum seekers as biden had been.
He took more money than any other politician from israel-- even before he was president. He was their creature and did their will instead of his constituents. In my book thats taking bribes and being a traitor to his oath.
Great that he did the things you cited, but that doesnt wash his hands of enabling a genocide + mass murder of journalists, doctors and aid worker either. He has a whole lot of blood on his hands-- in exchange for money. If there were any justice in the world he created, he'd be in handcuffs at the Hague with the rest of the war criminals. He also could have taken steps to trump proof the government after he lost, and he didnt do a damn thing. He left it wide open. Like an idiot-- at best.
Befoire he was president he created civil asset forfeiture which is a ridiculous violation of all of our constitutional rights, and rode the ridiculously overzelous 3 strikes laws through congress, demagoguing to drum up celebrity. Whenever there was a blue dog movement in congress, there he was. And his best friend was Strom Thurmond, and ex KKK leader. Biden was a ghoul. And his son made a life out of lobbying-- because he had access to his dad. He's an expert at nothing at all. Not a good look for either one of them.
Do you remember how Good old loose lipped crazy uncle Joe used to be a "gaffe machine", but every gaffe just happened to be about black people? I'm white, but that sure stuck in my mind. He was never presidential material. Obama brought him in because he was an old white guy who was republican-curious, not because he could lead his way out of a shallow paper lunchbag. I'm sure Obama regrets that decision to this day.
Not true.
“Destroying property is not a peaceful protest,” Biden said Thursday. “It is against the law. Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations, none of this is a peaceful protest.”

Notice how Biden threw in some peaceful protest actions and called them violence.
we dont define our commitment to human dignity and respect on a sliding scale by what the worst humans do. Thats barbaric and its not how any of this works.
congrats to Biden for being white? Or shall I congratulate Biden for agreeing to be handpicked to be vp to a black guy after he lost the primary, like he lost every sibgle other primary after he repeatedly ran over and over? Congrats, I guess. Fr being white and saying yes to a dream offer. Do you think that took some balls for Biden? It did not.
"Doesnt mean shit" to you.
Does mean shit to a generation of college students who are effing pissed, and a sizeable percentage of the democratic party base, who are also pissed. Centrists like yourself are not the arbiter of what does and doesnt mean shit to the other voters. You lot like to huff around pretending to call shots and make demands but you dont control a single damn thing, and elections keep being lost when your ideas are in the lead. You need to sit down, close your mouth for once, and listen to the voters.
and now you are just lying about what he said, because thats convenient for your point. Weak sauce.
Biden said "tresspassing" or blocking hallways was "violence". Which Enabled violence to be visited by cops on those protestors. This is your hero.
