  There’s a lot of stupid people too. You know, the ones that think Manchin should be kicked out of the party or primaried.
context: Biden is a white guy with many leeways to appoint people of color to positions of power.
  Obama said how a murdered kid might be his child and every news outlet made a living hell out of that innocent comment saying he was stirring racial sentiments.
  He had to walk on eggshells not to upset both republicans and white people in his own party by refusing to go too "woke". >
  
  Lesson is don't walk on eggshells because those people still win when you do that. How much police reform was there? That's what walking on eggshells gets you. >
  
  And there was still a massive backlash ie. Maga & Trump >
  
  I think the point is that he walked on eggshells and there was still a massive backlash.  If that's the response no matter what, then he should just do what's right. >
  
  If you're focused on results (and most of us in r/politics are), then Obama totally made the wrong play by catering to republicans, but if you're focused on your legacy, then Obama played it perfectly. Obama was a reasonable, middle-of-the-road democrat and the republicans still acted ridiculously and history will remember that.
  That said, I wish he put the needs of the country over his legacy as the first black president. We sorely need a progressive revolution and it's kinda icky that Biden has been more progressive than Obama while still being a far cry from what this country needs. >
  
  Biden is accomplishing more than Obama did in two terms, with the exception of the ACA. 
  Voting rights could be his ACA. >
  
  He's ordered far less bombs being dropped on foreign countries(Afghan's and the like)than any other past POTUS in decades.
  So far. >
  
  How many did trump order besides that one Iranian General he had drone-striked? I honestly don’t remember. >
  
  Remember when people thought Dems should have kicked Manchin out of the party in 2021? >
  
  Half of people are stupid. >
  
  ~~stupid~~ Uneducated.
  Which is part of the right’s strategy.
