Two things are true:

1. He did a lot and still should have done more - still ends up as probably the most progressive president to hold the office. More of a criticism of this country.

2. All of you claiming "too little too late" don't think on the scale of history. Those things have never been said by that leader's voice, In that leader's office, broadcast on primetime TV to everyone, everywhere.

This is how progress works. Again, would have been better for him to say it from the start, but would have been fuel for the right (who doesn't even really need credible fuel for the people they talk to) even more obstructionist, bad faith ghouls.

All the above considered, we were fucked as soon as election result came in. Democracy is over, if there was s cashed they wouldn't try to literally draw and quarter Biden on the national mall in the next four years, this likely solidified it. Don't think him saying those words are said without personal risk. I think he failed to live up to the full mandate of his election, but this is an old mmm an whip knows he's about to die saying fuck it and pulling the pin on the grenade knowing he won't outrun the blast. In his reality, that's what this decision was.

Biden became a good president... in his last month in office.

Or to be blunt: He's being performative now when it doesn't matter

Man who is part of making the problem much worse tries to save his legacy by pointing the problem but claiming it is just starting to become a problem.

Probably the same people who were googling why Biden wasn't on the ticket on election day 🙄

I think we have definitive proof that the American public, in general, are idiots.

Growing? We’re already there buddy and you helped speed it up.

Becoming..? The country founded on the principle that only landowners and capitalists should be represented democratically is becoming an oligarchy?

Ain’t it great living in the smartest and most prepared society in history?

This is click baity. People don't exclusively look up things they have no idea about. I'm constantly searching terms to reaffirm my understanding or to get a more precise definition of them. Oligarchy in particular doesn't have a measurable identification which of course people are going to want to dig a little into it. Hell there's a comment on here that made me dig into it since they're stretching it's definition way past it's meaning

Ye's best start believin' in oligarchies.

Yer in one!
