"Great presidents" do not join picket lines for photo ops and cross them when convenient.

They do not pass environmental protections then balance them out with increased fossil fuel production, both in the name of "The Economy."

They do not stand idly by as minorities are actively and systematically persecuted, offering the Democratic Party equivalent of "thoughts and prayers" and passing neutered Executive Orders with only surface-level value.

They do not use democracy as a bargaining chip for a second term instead of actively putting in safeguards against fascism.

They do not actively support genocide.

Joe Biden is not a good president. He is not a good person. He is not progressive. He is neoliberal in the most obvious and obnoxious of ways

The above points are ideological differences beyond debate or discussion. If you see any of these things as "debatable," you need to examine how you weigh human life and rights before speaking on these topics again.

While I will hold my nose and vote for him this year, I have and will continue to unfollow and/or block those not who praise individual decisions made by the current administration, but who praise Biden as a person and president. He is the "lesser of two evils," but ignoring his offenses will ensure these problems are not fixed.
