Yeah, I feel like people are freaking out and ignoring that Biden (and Trump) are largely the people they surround themselves with, and the policies they push.
They've both been president for years.
The boyfriend last night was surprised I didn't watch the debate.
"They've both been president. I was paying attention. I know what their presidencies will be like. Why listen to them talk about it?"
That, and we both know how terribly uninformative debates are. I got similar criticism for skipping it but like, we know their policies.
I was talking to some friends and I don't get independents at this point. If you don't know who you're voting for and need to see this debate to decide, you haven't been paying attention to the past 8 years.
That's a very good point. The president is in charge of appointing a lot of other people that are more important for making decisions.
This isnt a dig at him but Biden probably hasnt made a single decision without heavy guidance by all the people around him. This is always the case to a degree i assume, but probably even more with senile people like him. It just makes the whole concept of a president so nonsensical.
