I see no positive reason why a school needs to keep the name of their school when it's a confederate war general. The excuses of "preserve history" doesn't hold under scrutiny because no one learns history through statues. They leave it through reading and intellectual curiosity. That is were history is preserved. A name for a school is meant for honoring said individual, nothing else.
It's one thing to sit on a board and vote not to take down a statue or rename a school (for a school, there are costs associated with that to be taken into account). It's another to actively attend a rally flooded with overtly racist people and protest alongside them. I'm willing to accept the possibility of a non-racist, "very fine" person doing this (I have big problems with the "guilt by association" accusations that's so popular among ideologues on both sides of the political divide), but they would almost certainly be an extreme minority within the crowd. It was a massive failure on Trump's part to use words intended to morally equate the two sides.
I really don't think Afghanistan is going to make a difference in a month. The people that have an issue with it were never going to vote for him to begin with. I DO however think that the recent federal mask mandates will have an impact on his polling numbers, I am just not sure what that will be. If we see a substantive decrease in COVID he will likely be okay. If it doesn't make a difference and the media pounces, then it won't be positive. He inherited a tough situation from the prior administrations dumpster worthy performance and the general pandemic and COVID issues.
I dont think he runs in 2024. But you are right, Afghanistan will be out of sight, out of mind in month as long as more casualties do not occur, God willing. He has been dealt a tough hand and isnt drawing well either. He still has a few cards remaining so we have hope.
Completely agree. Anyone who inherited his predecessor's voting bloc was going to have a tough time squashing the pandemic because of their outright intransigence.
I'd consider they might have a more nuanced view of history and its complexities, and perhaps they can recall Lincolns exhortation to bind up the nation's wounds.
Lincoln did a lot to create the wounds in the first place. People ignore his tyrannical behaviors because the civil war happened and he took most of the credit for ending it but he also did a lot to start it in the first place. Slavery could have ended without a war like in other civilized societies. At least it should have. Hell it should have been ended in 1776 but they couldn't get it done, nor did enough of them have the support. The ground work was laid thank god. BTW no I am not saying the war outcome was bad. I am thrilled that slavery ended as a result of it. It is a shame that so many people had to die is all I am getting at. Hell it's a shame they allowed it in the colonies in the first place. One of the first things they did should have been eliminating the chains of slavery.
SO what has Joe Biden done well? I want to know because right know F Joe Biden is the new unofficial slogan of the mid terms. Please tell me what improvements he's made. He's had enough time to have done something.
Perhaps in your echo chamber. But in actuality, he's been hovering around 50% approval rating for some time and was mostly above that line up until the Afghanistan stuff. To put this in perspective, the previous president was never above 50% approval (lol...a historical first btw) and most presidents to be fair have polled a little higher than Biden has at this point in his presidency. So Biden is, in reality, is threading water. The idea that he's some monumental failure...well, that was what people thought of the last guy, it seems that Biden has been, for most people, mildly disappointing. How that affects the mid-terms...no one has any real idea, it's so far away, more than a year away, you're going to be disappointed if you think people will remember Afghanistan by 2022 unless something else happens to make it relevant again. Coronavirus is the real bust or boon moment for his presidency as of right now. If it spirals out of control again he will be blamed but if he gets it under control and moves the country past it, it will be a huge boon to him. But 45% isn't going to sink him (nor has it sunk two term presidents), he can definitely come back from that, hell, that could swing upwards in a month depending on this or that. As for what has he done? Well, he kept a wannabe fascist out of power, honestly, anything else he does on top of that is a bonus to me.
https://www.businessinsider.com/child-tax-credit-expansion-reduce-child-poverty-rate-research-2021-8 Taking 3 million kids out of poverty isn't a big deal? Free lunches for every American kid moving forward isn't a big deal? 1 out of 6 kids dont even have a meal at school before this. while passing the largest infrastructure bill that will finally give every rural American broadband internet while fixing lead pipe in every faucet isn't a big deal ? Infrastructure will also guarantee to fix over 3500 bridges around America and completely renovate the top 10 bridged. I can literally go on and on about his accomplishments and he hasn't even passed his main legislation next month. This fu Biden motivates him more to be successful as he wants to prove democracy works. It's truly pathetic what our politics have become.
What facts? 45% seems factual but should be alarming for the man who got more votes for president than anyone in history. The rest of your post is just opinionating.
Wow what men from Lousiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi are anti biden. Who would've known. These are the same idiots who cry when black athletes take a kneel but have no issues when they express their views. Keeping Politics out of sports was always a joke just like "back the blue", was always a joke. These morons just want things to be done as they wish and legitimately feel oppressed . Trump has the balls to go to a police station claiming back the blue when he told the folks who attacked police he loved then lol. This is what happens when a race slowly starts becoming the minority
