I get where this guy is coming from, but for someone so… opinionated, (and I really respect this guy a lot) he can hardly place all of the onus on Biden for his positions, especially as a public figure. And - of particular importance - taking a stand, most often for the right thing, has its costs.
We do what’s best right because it’s the right thing to do, not because we expect a payoff or because we think it’ll make us look good. And if you do, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
Edit: ok… on second thought: maybe it’s his pretty eyes that have bamboozled me into not noticing that this guy is kinda full of shit.
