It is worth reflecting on how people in democracies abroad admire President Biden’s temperament & his careful, deliberative, precise, intelligent, & compassionate approach of an elder statesman, while the incentive structure in America and our media rewards the exact opposite.

some societies revere their elders.

23. Yes, and bad results follow when institutional knowledge is lost ...

Yes, and bad results follow when institutional knowledge is lost, the elders leave, and no one knows how to do that which is needed to hold societies together.

"That" can not be selfish or small-minded.

10. The world appreciates Biden more than his own citizens do.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. Certainly more than the majority of our media.

[BlueIdaho]

16. We need to hold our media accountable.

Our M$M has decided there is more money in creating “news” stories than reporting the facts. They are leading our democracy down the path to a fascist state. It’s time to make that a very expensive choice.

By any means necessary.

27. YEP !!

[ancianita]

12. The world needs him more.

Especially when it needs the world's largest military and commander-in-chief to defend the two democracy outposts of the West -- Ukraine and Israel.

As Biden said more than once, the world looks to us as an essential nation.

[Rebl2]

20. So true

[MyNameIsJonas]

25. Yup. I saw a poll today where a majority disapprove of his handling of Israel.

Why? Beyond just hating him for the sake of hating him - what has he done to disapprove of?

[BigmanPigman]

26. It is "herd mentality"

I prefer to get as much unbiased, objective info available before I begin to take any position. Older but wiser I guess. We need to give Americans lessons in history since so many have the memory of a gnat, even older Americans.

[NJCher]

13. Biden cannot do otherwise

careful, deliberative, precise, intelligent, & compassionate

'Cuz that's who he is.

[Boomerproud]

15. The last sentence made me tear up. Shame on those who don't see his strength.

[Bleacher Creature]

14. This is just perfect. NT

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Nice Job Ben

perfectly said.........

Lincoln once said: A statesman is interested in future generations, a politician only in the next election....

Ain't it the truth..........

21. Because our corporate owned media is beholden ONLY to increasing shareholder PROFITS,

and truth comes in second place.

Always. It is the way of Wall Street.

[Lucinda]

22. One of Ben's regular posters suggested that he show exactly what Biden

is doing and saying when Trump is losing his mind...it is such a great thing to show in the moment who these guys are...

[Cha]

24. As Always Fuck the US M$M... excellent

statement by Ben Meiselas. TY

[yodermon]

28. None of those qualities are PROFITABLE

to cover, at least as positive, desirable traits.

[FakeNoose]

29. All those qualities of Joe Biden are the exact OPPOSITE of Chump

It's a subtle reminder that most of our allies HATED and DISTRUSTED Chump but they were too polite to say it. Now they recognize the wonderful, positive, trustworthy qualities of Joe Biden and they never want to see Chump again.
