I am done! I’m f***ing done! I’ll vote for him if there is no better choice, but I give up on this guy. I’m exasperated, and I’ve reached my limit. I was cutting him slack for his leadership on Ukraine, but domestically with this Uvalde massacre, he’s just MIA. Politico has a piece that sums up my feelings aptly. I quote from the article at length, “[Biden’s] refused to chastise Republicans explicitly for standing in the way of passing new gun laws and has given no outward indication of a type of bill he’d like to see pushed. Instead, he’s allowed Senate Democrats to set the tone of the public debate while he offers comfort to the families of victims and explores his options. The approach has left some in the advocacy world nervous and wondering why the most powerful man in the country isn’t adequately using the bully pulpit on such an emotionally wrought issue. ‘He can’t just be the “eulogizer in chief.” He also needs to put the full force of his office into the legislative process. Otherwise it will seem like he’s lost hope.’ said Peter Ambler, executive director for the gun safety group Giffords. ‘I think he can have an impact if he and the whole White House swing into action.’… To many gun safety activists tired of watching political foot-dragging following every horrific mass shooting, Biden’s response has felt less strategic and more like a leadership vacuum. They also question the wisdom of waiting for Congress to act — pointing to Republican intransigence and past failed attempts at bipartisanship on gun legislation — and are perplexed as to why the White House would show so much deference to Capitol Hill on guns when the president has been willing to put himself out there on other high-profile issues.”
Bingo! The article just f***ing nailed it. There is no leadership. There is no urgency. There is no sustained rage. He’s already peaked. We’ve already seen his maximum outrage in some short “why does this keep happening” speech. It’s just the same ole, same ole. Steady as she goes. Biden is hopelessly lost in another century where RepubliKKKlans used to work with Democrats. He still hasn’t learned those days are long gone. Biden is weak and lacks the ruthlessness to meet the challenge of RepubliKKKlan recalcitrance. I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. It pains me to say the following because I thought the people were unfairly punishing Biden over the economy and other failings he cannot control, but given his manifestly pathetic response to 19 dead children, I think the public has judged his job performance correctly. If he doesn’t do more now, then I see his job approval dipping lower. And, yes. I wrote to Biden telling him as much because I’m f***ing p*ssed off beyond belief! In fact, I told him not to run for re-election; he’ll hand traitor trump the White House if he does. We get the government we deserve and desire. Welcome to stupid America!
