    That’s an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing.

    Just because the previous guy was running backwards doesn’t mean you get credit for returning to where you started when you’ve done fuck all since then.

    I disagree with this point enthusiastically. If he steered the boat ten miles up river, that’s still a major achievement, especially if the previous captain had just drifted from bank to bank while he was actively putting holes in the hull. We don’t know how Biden would have sailed if he’d taken charge where the previous guy did, maybe he’d have stayed in one place, gone down stream, or maybe he’d taken another ten miles the right way, we’ll never know.
