Biden is a good guy, but damn if he isn't stuck in the past. Every decision he makes seems like it would've made sense if it was still 1998. This is something Clinton probably would've done and everyone would've loved him for it, but the world has moved on, and people now understand the situation there is not as black and white as they thought.

You have a weird definition of a good guy.

Good guys don't support genocide. Good guys don't strip away pandemic protections. Good guys don't allow health insurance to be stripped away from millions of people.

No no no, you don't get it: to liberals like that, Biden is the goodest of good guys, because they'd do the exact same shit as him if they were in his seat. They cosign the same bailouts, they cosign the same extrajudicial killings, they cosign the same genocides. To people already divorced from anything resembling a human moral core, Biden has no downsides.
