    You’re blaming Biden in particular for Thomas and Trump? He’s not blameless for confirming Clarence. Though, of course, he is one of many responsible there and a conservative judge like Clarence was a forgone conclusion under the Bush 1 administration. And I can’t imagine how you justify blaming Biden for Trump’s first presidency. Because he didn’t run for president in 2016? Because he was a part of the Obama administration that led to the Trump administration? Either way, his responsibility is so marginal as to be confusing to even consider him culpable.

    There’s plenty to be dissatisfied or angry about with Biden that are directly and primarily or solely his fault. So why are you singling him out for those two things that are barely his responsibility at all, if at all?

      he spent 50 years shaping the political landscape. the rise of fascism didn’t happen because donald trump ran for president. his run was made possible by the rising fascism.

      why are you singling him out

      he’s asking for my vote. his supporters are demanding my vote. i’m not singling him out, he is a part of the zeitgeist, and due criticism til he leaves it.
