    Heavy sits the crown

    I think it might actually be impossible to remain a good person as a president, even if you manage to somehow be a good person who can become president (also rare)

      The president definitely has to be an asshole to some extent, because it’s impossible to make everyone happy in this country.

      With that said, we’ve seen presidents do what they say they’re gonna do, even as progressives. We sat through four years of Trump using every possible resource to do the awful stuff he did, and there’s no good reason why anyone should look at Biden and expect less than that.

      Democrats deserve credit for ruling as conservatives. They reinforced the narrative that voting is pointless, at least in terms of federal elections.
