    So go ahead and name for me all of the YS presidents who weren’t complicit in genocide then?

    Heck, I said 2nd most because FDR is the undisputed most progressive president in history, but he still oversaw Japanese internment camps on US soil. Biden is, arguably, the 2nd most progressive US president in history. That’s a relative position and an incredibly low bar.

      Biden is a careerist warmonger and opportunist there is nothing progressive about him.

      Unless you just fully discard brown and black people as humans and you transform the word progressive into “gay rights”. In which case Biden was still a horrible opportunist.

          When measured against their contemporaries? JFK, FDR, Eisenhower, Carter. Hell, Biden was a contemporary of Carter and was very much to the right of him.

          Which is still a meaningless distinction because the least antisemitic Nazi is still a fucking nazi.
