So you’re saying that Biden says incorrect information he sincerely believes while Trump doesn’t believe the things he says. And your takeaway is that Biden is insincere. You do you but I’ll always throw my hat with the person who is wrong accidentally over the one who lies purposely. I don’t see it as strength or 84d chess or whatever, I think it just makes you a bad person.

> What a bizarre claim

Your recency bias is showing. More overtly progressive legislation has been passed during his term than any other president. Like it is absolutely insane (meant positively) the amendments to Title IX that explicitly protect lgbt folks and he is threatening taking away funding from schools who ignore them. Like god damn that’s the opposite of posturing.

Obama would have been called the literal antichrist with 24/7 news coverage for months if he did that but this is the norm for Biden.

I have no idea if it’s purposeful on his part or if people are just burnt out on politics but just doing it and keeping out of the news cycle has been working out really well for him. He will probably get votes just from people who have been enjoying being able to tune out for a bit.

Interesting view. I don't really see the new amendments to Title IX as any more "overtly progressive" as the original amendment. It's just an adjustment to definitions to recognize some more people who are typically discriminated against (and to whom we believe that is unjust). The concept is really no different.
