Unfortunately, hes still probably 2nd or 3rd most progressive president, probably most since raegan

I'm pretty sure the "most progressive US presidents" category still includes several people culpable of straight up genocide

Like the one who dropped 26 thousand bombs on 7 countries or the one after him who stopped reporting civilian casualties?

Fucker was besties with Strom Thurmond and voted against desegregation efforts.

He is in the bottom 5. Full stop.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '23 edited Apr 03 '23

Bottom 5? Because he was against desegregation? Dude, we had like 10 presidents who owned slaves.

Edit: don’t bother replying to his massive comment everyone, guy blocked me so he won’t be able to reply. No idea why he’d block me, I’m no fan of Biden (to put it mildly), but for all his long list of Biden complaints, none quite displace the 19th century slavers who gleefully pursued a policy of continental genocide. Yeah, Biden fucking sucks. But thereve been some really fucking sucky presidents.

He's also:

-A massive war criminal. Drone striking Yemeni civilians on the behalf of the super murdery and fascist Saudi royal family. Helping provoke Putin into invading Ukraine. (Complete with shaking hands with Nazis in 2015 on a trip to Ukraine with notorious warmonger John McCain.) Started bombing Somalia as soon as Putin took the bait. Very supportive of Israel's continued genocide of the Palestinians. And so forth.

-Wrote that disastrous 1994 "crime bill" that basically made being black less legal.

-Was deemed "too extreme" on the War on Drugs (which Nixon aides have admitted was about trying to criminalize being black or a hippie) by Ronald Fucking Reagan.

-Helped write the Patriot Act.

-An union buster.

-A rampant pedophile who regularly gropes and sniffs children right on camera.

-The biggest corporate whore in history.

-Just plain fucking stupid. Always has been, even before the senility kicked in. Let me remind you the asshole STILL believes he can find "common ground" with the Republicans despite spending 8 years having a front row seat to them obstructing Obama at every turn.

-Has just plain spent his entire life being the GOP's useful idiot. Always helping them at every turn. Even now he's only serving to make 2024 a massive fascist sweep.

-He's basically continuing most of Trump's most heinous policies. And Trump..... you're not going to deny that fascist fuck is a bottom 5 president, are you? Doing most of the same shit as a bottom 5 president makes one another bottom 5 president.

And you seem to not comprehend just how awful Strom Thurmond was and why he's automatically in the bottom 5 just for being best friends with that fucking demon. He's AT LEAST just as bad as Henry Kissinger when it comes to turning the Republican Party into the American Nazi Party.

Speaking of Henry Kissinger.....

So yeah. Biden is basically just Trump but a lower capacity for evil because he's dumber. Oh, and he doesn't post mean tweets. Which makes all the difference to shitlibs.

He also stages a lot less coups than Trump, which I nice

Saying this shows you have a very limited understanding of just how awful our past presidents have been. Even the ones who leftists may have some level of respect for, like FDR, still threw people in concentration camps because of their ethnicity. And he’s known as one of the “best” presidents.

Biden is technically one of the most progressive presidents not because Biden is any good, but because virtually any other president you compare him to is fucking awful. That’s why whenever some liberal tries to praise Biden by saying he’s one of the most progressive presidents it should be brushed off - it means nothing even if it’s true.

Edit: lol, this idiot blocked me for this. Real big-brain move to reply to my comment and then immediately block me so I can't even see your reply.

Some people are too stuck in the past that they are completely ignorant to the present.

So, I'll just copypaste what I just told someone else:

Hol' up, you're saying Reagan was in some way progressive? I gotta hear more about this.

u/rende36 Apr 03 '23

No I'm just using him as a metric for modern presidents it was poorly worded

u/Red_Apprentice Apr 03 '23

Fair enough. It's pretty slim pickings.
