Joe Biden probably has no idea what most of those words mean, let's be honest here. He's only the president because the only other option we were given was worse.
I don't want somebody that knows and understands everything. I want somebody that surround themselves with people that collectively know and understand, and can then explain it to him like he's an octogenarian.
Exactly. The best president is the one who consults with others on essentially everything. Even if they are an expert in an area, Still get second opinions. Obviously that is time permitting, They still need to be knowledgeable enough to react quickly when necessary.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Trump's policy to always be the smartest person in the room? That would explain some things...
Just because some of us understand this issue better than him it doesn't mean that we should expect him to understand everything at the same level as if he worked in the area.. it's impossible he can't be an expert economist, computer scientist, anthropologist, chemist, biologist, etc... rolled into one.
For the record I don't think he is a great president.
You cannot judge how great a President was until long after they are out of office. Good things usually take time. Bad things can be immediate.
Yea. But he doesn’t seem to have a vision. I don’t think corruption is great and bidenomics is just bullshit. I am not saying he is the worst ever just that it’s not very good.
I’m not sure what you’re looking for with a “vision.” Sounds like something a populist does and fails at. Biden has to fix all the shit Trump and the Republicans ruined and he won’t likely have time for a lot else. If he can get control of Congress next year by a good margin it’ll help.
To give you an example he might claim to want to curb the corruption by changing and limiting donations to political candidates/organizations. The populist vapid version of this would be something vague but catchy like “drain the swamp” that can mean anything.
The President doesn’t have the power to do that.
Ok if you could not understand that was an example I think Im good with my current opinion.
I’d expect when talking about a specific person’s vision, you’d give an example of something that specific person can do.
Id expect that people that can’t differentiate between demagoguery and vision to stay on topic when given an example instead of responding that the president can’t do so.
What are you even talking about? You want him to make speeches telling you what you want to hear even if he has no power to do it?
At least you remain consistent with your responses. have a nice day.
You're wrong, but you're actually right.
I'm only "wrong" because others are reading something other than what I said. I'm gratified that at least one person understood though.
No, people are responding to what you said. Maybe what you wrote doesn't impart your meaning as well as you thought it does.
Cool story bro.
