      I want politics to be something you look at with a sense of boredom vs a sense of dread again. Biden has been great for making politics ‘boring’ again, on top of being a very competent leader.

      Sure, there’s things he has done that I’m not a fan of, but that’s every leader.

          I personally don’t find regular politics ‘boring’ at all, but I’m a poli sci graduate. Seeing how the sausage gets made regarding legislation is interesting.

          What’s not interesting is these charlatans pretending that congress is the WWE, and trying to enact laws that infringe on the rights of other Americans.

            By “boring” I mean “We’re going to have a discussion about this and listen to the experts and try to find a way to serve competing interests in a calm and rational manner.”

            No more people SLAMMING other people. No stupid rhetorical games in committee hearings. No assholes shouting at the SOTU. No symbolic protests or virtue signaling. A government made up of people who want to find the right answer and work together. That fairy tale I was told about how it’s supposed to work. Going back to C-SPAN being a cure for insomnia. That’s what I mean by boring.

            And if they do want to slam people we should put a steel cage on the floor of Congress.

      I like Biden too. He could bring peace to the middle east and defeat Putin, but still his best attribute is that he is not Donald Trump.
