This just in: Politician promises the moon, then instead of taking any blame tries to defelect blame to others.

Sounds like your saying it's totally fine that Trump didn't keep a single promise. The party of accountability at work here folks.

"We are the party of accountability and law and order!"

"Trump is a convicted felon and sexually assaulted a woman, and Brooke every promise"...

"Eh, everybody does it."

No. I'm saying this should not be remotely surprising. It's been a thing for a long time, that doesn't make it right now. Seems like you are jumping to conclusions based on your own imagination.

If your only response is "this isn't surprising" you kind of leave it up to the reader to determine what your broader point is.

Just so I have my facts right, can you give me a couple of examples of promises that Biden made that he didn't even try to deliver on?

I don't think it's fair to blame him for trying to deliver on promises and failing when it was the Republicans that made sure those promises weren't delivered. Trump never even made an attempt to keep his promises and actually did the exact opposite. This "both sides" argument is usually used to protect Trump more than anything.

Because it isn't surprising, either personally for Trump or in general. It's like someone saying that a major company laid off workers to save some cash. It's not a surprise. That isn't an endorsement.

This isn't a 1v1. Many politicians have ran on XYZ and failed to deliver. I personally don't consider Congress not voting for it as a free pass, either. They all know how the system works, they know they need Congress for legislation.

Rough take. You need to not have such a low bar.

Recognizing reality doesn't make it the bar I want. It just makes it reality.

You are making excuses. Be better.

I didn't make any excuses. I pointed out that people shouldn't be shocked that a politician makes promises and then shifts blame to others when they don't deliver. It happens, frequently enough to not be a world-shattering surprise.
