I’m pretty old. Biden is hands down the best president in my lifetime.
He’s way older than I am, which is a problem, but he’s also a national hero for beating Trump in 2020 and making the win stick, which was more difficult than it seemed.
Since then he’s been great on jobs, infrastructure, defense, and a host of other issues. Not that I agree with him on everything, but to call him a run of the mill conservative Dem, as some do in these comments, is almost slander. He’s an old-school Democrat who survived all the way through the Reagan revolution. The old-school Dems ran the country for almost 50 years from about 1933 to 1980, and did a pretty good job.
In 2020 I was 100% behind Liz Warren and disliked Biden. I thought he’d lose, but this year I’ll gladly vote for him. If he beats Trump for good, they’ll be making statues of him.
Trump’s dislike is going to run even higher (and a lot deeper).
The man that should stop Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
It’s stunning that he can say and do so much… terribleness… and still even have a chance at the presidency (again).
it’s a race to the bottom, and liberals are so attached to biden for some reason they seem to actively want him despite the fact that some random state senator would be a safer bet. if we get fascism I’m putting some of the blame on bidenbros
I just haven’t seen the evidence that some random state sentator would be a safer bet.
The unfortunate reality is that there are still too many voters who will vote for a centrist old white man over Trump, but would not vote for a young progressive over Trump.
I didn’t like it in 2020 either, but the Democrats did what they needed to do to beat Trump.
Has there ever been a current president that the party has not put up for re-election after their first term? The decision isn’t really up to me as a pleb Democrat, it’s up to the party in Washington D.C. on who they want to represent the party in the election. When given the choice, I’ll vote for anyone over Trump.
It’s the two party system and electoral college that causes the “lessor evil” effect. We’ll have to address that better next time.
Edit: autocorrect gave us an electric college!
We’ll have to address that better next time.
is what we’re told every single time for decades and this is the result. maybe it’s time to break out plan b (before it’s banned in texas)
Blah blah blah it’s January for crying out loud. Most voters haven’t even actually started thinking about the race. Only the terminally online and talking heads are thinking about this.
Of course Biden’s unpopular compared with a nebulous “what if” alternative. Shit, the real comparison people answering these polls are probably making is him against Obama. Obama was only fighting the Great Recession, not a global pandemic and a wannabe dictator with all his fans and an expansionist Russia with greedy stockholders driving CEOs to gouge consumers under cover of “inflation” and on and on.
I’m not even saying Biden’s approval rating will get better between now and November. But if Trump is the Republican nominee, I think Biden has a pretty strong shot at winning anyway. As long as we all get out and vote.
See you in June when prices come down across the board, wages rise, and more conservatives die of preventable diseases.
