    I get what you’re saying, but I strenuously disagree with your central assertion that there’s no point in legitimate criticism of a sitting president as long as there isn’t currently a better president available.

    You don’t just get a free pass to commit crimes against humanity because there’s nobody lined up who wouldn’t.

    That’s lumping the US president in with the likes of Viktor Orban, Vladimir Putin, Benyamin Netanyahu, and other presidents whose subjects aren’t allowed to criticize their worst actions.

      What I was trying to say is that the president is a symptom and focusing on the president distracts from the system that elects them, because good people do exist and the majority oppose what Biden is doing, they just don’t seem to make it on the ballot. But you are right we can walk and chew gum at the same time, I am not taking any agency away from Biden, he is going to hell according to his own believes anyways.
