I'm not conflating anything. I acknowledge #Biden did a lot.

I voted for him, but I also #acknowledgeTheProblem with not making national and #worldSecurity the focus of his presidency.

Not just NOT making it the focus but actually undermining it.

Here's a #counterfactual: I don't know if the following are facts, but if they are, they're damning, and the outcome could've been different

"Biden hopes to avoid divisive #Trump investigations, preferring unity"

This month's post is about the hypothetical. Counterfactuals help us understand the world we live in by highlighting what could have gone differently and why. They also allow us to explore potential futures. For example, by examining a past catastrophe, we can ask: "What would have made this worse?" This allows us to better prepare for future challenges. 🌍🔍📖 existentialcrunch.substack.com

High time for an #introduction - hello Fediverse!

#Writer of the #CounterFactual #utopia 'East #Berlin Series' ("what if the #BerlinWall didn't fall?") and the frankly depressing Cold Island (how could it not be depressing, it's about people without a British passport and #Brexit (#migration)).

Despite the above, my most popular books are a #spy #crime series about an anti-hero #DDR #Stasi officer.
