      He certainly did SOME things. Not enough, but IMO it’s too black and white to claim that he did nothing.

        It’s crazy people will say stuff like this…

        While ignoring the president saying he did everything he said he would isn’t a bigger issue.

        Like, it can make sense when trump’s the president, but because Biden was in between it means for 12 years people have held random social media accounts to a higher standard than the US president…

        They both tell blatant lies and seem to believe them, and it’s completely normalized

        If it’s:

        it’s too black and white to claim that he did nothing.

        Isn’t it wrong for Biden to say he did everything?

        (Obviously he’s factually wrong, I meant it’s morally wrong for him to be lying like this)

            But you’re complaining a social media account said “nothing” and not about the US president who said “everything”.

            You’re holding that random account to a higher standard than you are Joe Biden…

                The link…

                PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: I kept my word—that when I said I was going to do something, I did it.

                    , yet you quoted the word “everything"

                    Bruh…

                    If you’re point is he only I plied “everything” and you don’t know what it means when a random word has quotations marks…

                    And you’re saying I’m being pedantic?

                    I’m sorry if this is legitimate confusion on your part, but I’m not explaining basic parts of the English language or what “pedantic” even means.

              Even the most naive interpretion of my comment would be that I hold both to the same standard.

              Which I don’t, Biden is just so obviously wrong on this that it feels like a waste of time to even comment on it. But if you’re going to comment on it, don’t just be so obviously wrong in the opposite direction!

                So…

                The same excuse the media gives for not criticizing trump as much as Biden?

                I’d be surprised to hear there’s logical consistency there. But I figured I’d ask.

            Contrary to their username. That one does not give a fuck when it comes to nuance or reality. You can explain all day long how Biden did XY or z. The fact that Biden did not do XY or Z the exact way they wanted it done. Means that Biden didn’t do anything, and that he is an evil man. You cannot change their mind.
