    Still missing the point. You’re trying to pin it on Biden as if the record-breaking thing is a direct consequence of Biden being Biden - and “Biden bad.”

    No. If Trump, Zombie Kennedy, Jesus Christ or even freaking Al Gore were in power right now, the “record breaking” thing would have still happened.

        No. I’m not saying that. Because some presidents are worse than others on this issue. For example, Trump.

        This is the point that is lost on the “just vote” crowd. If the only candidates you can viably vote for are in the pockets of rich donors then you’ve already lost.
