"on the economic front, think back to the DLC centrism of Bill Clinton's presidency and compare it to Biden's."
Hear, hear!
I firmly believe historians will see Joe Biden as the most consequential President since LBJ. It’s deeply impressive how much he got done while he had such small majorities in the House and Senate – and, more recently, with a GOP-controlled House.
The tragedy is that Team Biden failed to successfully communicate their great accomplishments to voters. Granted, it was nearly impossible for Biden to really be heard above the loud right-wing ecosystem and the bothsiderist infotainment news media. The mainstream press utterly failed to do its job, and they normalized Trump.
The double tragedy is that Kamala Harris did not win the 2024 election. We’ll see four years of backsliding and worse.
He'll be helped by how bad Trump screws up the second term
Maybe. But how much do we hear about the achievements of the Weimar Republic's leaders? To be fair, Germany was in a depression in 1933 and democracy was under attack from the Communists as well as the Nazis, so the situation was very different.
