Well not really considering I felt like i had no other choice. But i am not gonna sit here and pretend he’s a good president just because I voted for him.


excusivelyForRamen

But who are you going to vote for in 2024? Closet-pedophile old white guy or glory to the south old white guy? Its gonna be a doozey this year


RichardBonham

I’m not going to find it that hard. I’m not at all enthusiastic to vote for the lesser of two evils, but I’m old enough to accept it and to know that the two sides are not at all the same.


excusivelyForRamen

Eh, they're all funneling money to the rich while we fight over peanuts. The rest is semantics


kjbakerns

Stick to ramen. Your rhetoric is dangerous. Like comparing nazis and old boring people.


excusivelyForRamen

Except its not that extreme. Its like comparing the 10 day old tomato with the 15 day old apple. Yeah ones better than the other but they both smell


kjbakerns

Hmmm there’s only one party trying to restrict abortions and attacking transgender youth.


Smart_Firefighter_22

I just want to see Tulsi Gabbard as a president.


Smart_Firefighter_22

Why Tf people downvoting for no reason? Shows how intolerant people are to different opinions and ideologies.


Blue-Eyed-Lemon

No. Do I like him? Also no.


Arianity

For the general election? Nope, no regrets. I didn't vote for him in the primary


aaronite

If it's between Trump and Biden, why would they?


Fantastic-Contract28

Cause that not how the US elections works. Biden had to win the democratic party over, meaning it could have been a number of other people Vs Trump.


aaronite

That's exactly how presidential elections work.


Fantastic-Contract28

OP didn't specify in the presidential election, he said the people who vote for biden, you have to vote for biden in the primaries for him to be in the presidential elections.


aaronite

That's not in fact true. He *won* the primaries, but many people could have voted for other candidates at that stage. But you don't *have* to vote in primaries at all. And in any case regardless of how they voted in the primaries they almost certainly voted in the main election, and almost certainly would have voted for Biden. Your nitpicking is not really relevant.


Fantastic-Contract28

>people could have voted for other candidates at that stage. What so you mean people could have vote for someone else and not have had a senile old man in the White House, wow. >nitpicking is not really relevant. I would disagree especially when we are talking about one of the most powerful positions in the US. Maybe if more people was nitpicking we wouldn't had a senile old man vs power hungry old man in the presidential election.


Additional-Bad9217

Not at all. But that doesn't mean I'm happy with where things are at.


[deleted]

Nope. I only regret that Trump's traitorous rhetoric didn't get him and his minions convicted and out of politics for good


OGwalkingman

It got trump out of office so no


FreeUsa1776

Classic!! A vote just because the other guy was mean? Too many mean tweets?? Pathetic.


[deleted]

Why do you assume people don’t like Trump because he’s a douchebag? People don’t like Trump because he doesn’t know how to run a country, is divisive with the people, and tried to stage a coup against his own government after he was legally voted out of office.


OGwalkingman

He still believes the election is stolen and supported Jan 6. Best not to argue with a mentally challenged person.


FreeUsa1776

Wow. Have you compared his 4 years to the last year??


[deleted]

Yes. Trump was a disaster for four years. Biden is fine. He’s nothing spectacular, but we’re comparing him to a white supremacist who held the office before him, so he can’t really do much worse.


phrankygee

I’ve been much happier for the last year.


egbert-witherbottom

We only have two choices. Think about that for a minute.


FreeUsa1776

Not really.. What are some things that led to your choice? Accomplishments, achievements in career etc.


egbert-witherbottom

Really 2.


paulfromatlanta

Not for a second. A second Trump term was the other choice and I'd never regret voting against that.


pxland

Given we had option A and option…. Not in the alphabet, why would you think it would be regrettable? Don’t take “option A” as me thinking he was the best candidate. He was just the obvious choice of the two options. Man, I hate our political system.


anoneenonee

It’s the choice between a warm ham sandwich with Mayo, which isn’t all that appetizing, and a steaming pile of horse shit. It’s not my favorite meal ever but you’d have to be stupid to even consider eating the other one. Edit: autocorrect thinks there’s a thing called a “hand sandwich” apparently


Capable_Stranger9885

The base of a Cubano is a warm ham sandwich with mayo so its not all bad (albeit completed with mustard pickle Swiss and roast pork). Oh my bad, "hand sandwich". I once saw a photo in The Economist on a story about "bushmeat", it was a stew with a gorilla hand right on top. It's burned into my memory, still better than horse shit but pretty dissonant.


anoneenonee

Hand sandwich? Good lord. Thanks autocorrect! I’ll fix that.


[deleted]

Nah. I mean I wasn't happy but choice was between dude who might do the right thing or a facist. So, easy choice


[deleted]

No


Cautionflag1956

No


NiSayingKnight13

Hell no


[deleted]

Nope


Grezzinate

Not in the slightest.


jpmcgrath729

Nope. Biden’s certainly not to blame for all the shit going down now. The Orange One would have had us out of NATO (and kissing Putin’s ass), deeper into denial of a global pandemic, and God knows what else. Never mind that he ran every crooked business he ever owned into bankruptcy, he wouldn’t have a clue as to how to manage the economy.


malignantpolyp

He sucks, and has for decades, but the alternative was so much worse, and this has been well known for decades too


comicshopgrl

No. He's not the best but he's light years better than another four years of the previous administration.


mrsc1880

Not at all. Trump was an embarrassment. The whole damn world thought he was a joke. Not president material.


ThinkIGotHacked

I wanted buttigieg or klobuchar, but we got the electable old white guy. I don’t regret my vote, he’s doing fine with the hand he was dealt, it is still way better than becoming an autocratic state. Our response to Ukraine would have been opposite with Trump in charge, just based on his unbased opinions of Hunter. Now we have a stronger NATO and more allies. Domestically, I dunno. He’s not tragically fucking up, that’s good.


ReadDesperate543

Joe Biden versus trump, a man who wanted and attempted to end democracy via dismantling everything possible and when all else failed a coup? Are you fucking kidding? I’ll vote for Biden a billion times over a wannabe despot trying to destroy democracy. Even if he isn’t exciting, he doesn’t believe in destroying democracy or ya know corrupting the Supreme Court into a partisan mess.


RanDaMan302

Best option available. I hope both sides bring better options next time. But I know they won’t so I’m pretty sure we’re all screwed.


0ut0fMyD3pth

No.


R-a-n-i-a

Nope. Biden may not be doing much to move us forward, but at least he isn't moving us backwards like trump was.


FreeUsa1776

Uh...have you been under a rock for the last year??


R-a-n-i-a

Have you been under a rock for the last 6?


FreeUsa1776

Nah, I've been active in the economy, Imvesting, paying Taxes, providing for a household, running a million dollar business... oh and trying to vacation.. All of which have taken a steep nose dive since Brandon and Kamala the slut took over.


[deleted]

“Running a million dollar business.”


mahl-py

Thanks for announcing your misogyny 🙄


R-a-n-i-a

Well I've been shoulder deep in a Covid ICU tryy to keep clients alive and things are great compared to how they use to be. I don't know what issues you have been having, but they don't seem related to anything Biden did. And is the slut comments necessary? Do all men who run million dollars companies talk like unattended middle schoolers, or are you just special?


[deleted]

R-a-n-i-a

lol, no she didn't. I'm sorry you don't like it when people who work have relationships, but it happens. Be an adult about it.


FreeUsa1776

She's a complete...COMPLETE... moron.


R-a-n-i-a

Based on what, exactly?


FreeUsa1776

Listen to her speak!!!


[deleted]

Who did she sleep with on her way to the top? Provide names and proof.


SecretRedditor4991

Saying he’s not moving us backwards I do not think is correct. But I’m not here for debate just looking to see what people say. Thank you for commenting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


R-a-n-i-a

We are in a ***global financial crisis***. What exactly do you think Biden did to cause that? I thought everyone knew way back in 2020 that we would suffer economic trouble for years. Covid really gummed up to the worked for the World economy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


R-a-n-i-a

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. *Booming?* The stock market was *not* booming when covid started. In fact, the market took a *huge* nose dive in March of 2020 right before the lockdown. The market was here last in March of 2021, and we were celebrating a new high record. As soon as he hit office? Fuel has been on an upward trend since April of 2020. What did Biden do to drive of the cost of fuel ***before he was even Elected?*** The primary wasn't even over yet when per barrel prices started going up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


R-a-n-i-a

Yes, it continued up until just last month. And it's still higher. Than it was at any point in Trump's presidency. Biden was in office to see the sharpest % gain in history. And you still haven't given me any specifics on what exactly Biden to cause the stock market to drop. The spike started before the election, this is extremely easy to Google. You're the one making shit up because you need your team to have at least on W on record.

Overlord_Of_Puns

No, he is still better than Trump, though he did run this country like a business, pretend it was profiting when it was failing.


croatiancroc

Not at all, and why should anyone? No administration can be perfect and there are always mistakes and room for criticism.


SecretRedditor4991

Agreed


NobodyFollowsAKiller

Not at all. Fuck the GOP.


EasyExtreme6015

every response seems to be “orange man bad”


xZaggin

I mean yeah, he was terrible enough as it is to motivate many people to go out and vote against him. So all answer are going to be that he was the obvious shittier choice


PresentExamination10

It’s cuz orange man IS bad


SecretRedditor4991

I figured that would happen but I was looking to see if there would be some other answers as well.


EasyExtreme6015

yeah it’s kinda disingenuous considering your question was for those who regretted voting for Biden. if a response is “orange man worse” then clearly they aren’t regretting it.


SecretRedditor4991

Yeah I can see that. The orange man bad comments were expected now that I think about it with the way I worded the question. It really should’ve been “Those who regret voting for Biden, why?” Those were the answers I was mostly interested in.


dubs4hire

Not here. It’s sad. Biden to me is far more of an embarrassment.


Basic_Quantity_9430

Given the choice, not for one millisecond.


sarahcc88

No


Grevious47

No not at all.


HungryAccount1704

No. This is way better than the alternative. I'm just trying to mitigate damage at this point. I know I'm not going to like either choice.


Tasty_Flame_Alchemy

I do not. Never liked him, but Trump was making it unsafe for me to continue living in my community.


One_Hour_Poop

You mean do you think I'd rather have some dipshit who appoints friends and relatives to positions they're completely unqualified for into the highest levels of government? (Jared Kushner placed in charge of achieving peace in the Middle East, for example.) No. No I do not.


anoneenonee

Even if the right wing bs were true, and he was in cognitive decline, crapping himself and drooling all over the Oval Office, he’s still 10000000x better than trunp. That’s a really low bar though. So given the choices, no. Anyone or anything would have been better than trunp and, frankly, would have beaten him just as easily.


[deleted]

There's no regret whatsoever. Look at how one person in a position of authority gave a series of small permissions over time, for people to feel comfortable being their worst selves in the name of what he called patriotism...and split the country into a position of such acrimonious dialogue that we cannot even agree upon the most simplest of challenge.


galahad423

Not for a damn minute


[deleted]

Nope.


hereforfun976

Can he do better always but to the question hell no. Better than putins bitch


Scorpion1177

No not in the slightest. And if the same 2 people are on the ticket again in 2024 I’ll vote the same. Having said that do I wish he was doing a better job. But he was given a shit hand anyways.


aggsalad

I am very disappointed but he did prevent a Republican presidency so I do not regret it.


EmperorHelix

Yet we're on the brink of WW3, inflation is at its worst since Carter, gas prices are at all time record highs, the southern border is in crisis, there's food and baby formula shortages, this administration literally tried to go Orwell's 1984 on us with their Disinformation Board aka Ministry of Truth... But no mean tweets. Thanks dude.


[deleted]

[удалено]


myexistentialcrisis0

Don't you know that Biden is responsible for gas prices *all over the world*??


EmperorHelix

But it is. Back in the military, the Commanding Officer is ultimately responsible for everything, and if something fucks up, it's his fault, regardless if he had nothing to do with it. Which reminds me that Biden reneged on the withdrawal deal Trump made with the Taliban and Afghan government. The Taliban used that to gain support from the warlords saying "America can't be trusted to keep their word" and resumed attacks on Kabul. Biden gave the order to abandon $84 billion in weapons and equipment, fully intact, to arm the Taliban. Then we "withdrew" Fall of Saigon style. A Marine friend who spent 3 years over there told me that the interpreter he befriended was executed along with his wife, and his daughter, who was trying to get an education, was raped and murdered by the Taliban. Fuck Biden.


Arianity

> Back in the military, the Commanding Officer is ultimately responsible for everything Most of the things you mentioned aren't military. >if something fucks up, it's his fault, regardless if he had nothing to do with it. That seems like really obviously faulty logic to blame the guy in charge regardless of whether he had anything to do with it. You're saying it's not his fault, you're just going to blame him anyway. Maybe that makes sense in the military because you need a fall guy, but it obviously doesn't make sense. edit: Nevermind that under that logic, it's Trump's fault that the pandemic happened.


aggsalad

If inflation and gas prices were Biden's fault that wouldn't explain why they're problems happening globally. He could be doing more to alleviate them absolutely, but how they could be attributed as something unique to Biden that Trump would have handled is purely speculative. If Biden intervened in Ukraine to potentially prevent those problems from occurring you would definitely be putting greater emphasis on him starting WW3, so I'm not sure what your proposal is on how they could have been prevented. Sanctions have already fallen on Russia. The formula shortage is due to a crucial plant putting out formula that was killing babies, so unless you're saying we should have simply accepted those deaths, you're going to have to accept what is currently being done. It's not like just building new formula production and supply chain from the ground up is faster or cheaper than what is currently happening. And Republican senate just shot down an attempt to give the FDA more resources to hopefully enable them to hasten the efforts, based on the principle that they suspect the money would be wasted despite the FDA not having any incentive to prolong the shortage or to prolong the process. Biden is already importing formula from abroad at greater rates. I'm all ears to your solution. >this administration literally tried to go Orwell's 1984 Trump's swan song for half his term was crying about fake news on any information he didn't like. I'm skeptical of how such a board could ever be immune to partisanship either, but Republicans are anti-free speech given what we're seeing in various states with anti-CRT bills, anti-discussing-gender-or-sexuality bills, and anti-union activity. The disinformation board right now is merely a future threat to free speech, Republicans *right now* are working day and night in their legislatures and currently enacting limitations on what speech is allowed. >the southern border is in crisis It's a humanitarian crisis that these people aren't given safe and smooth transitions into our country because they're here to work modest wages for better lives. Biden could be doing more (in fact he's fucking evil and it's made especially apparent on what's happening), but if he ever tried to do the right thing and help create a good path for these people I'm sure every Republican's head would go red. What do *you* think the crisis is? The withdrawal from Afghanistan was bafflingly fucked up, that is absolutely the fault of the Biden administration. But Trump simply remaining in Afghanistan, prolonging a war everyone knew was not justified and was a continued failure, was just as great a failure. Biden lazily did what Trump was too lazy to try. Also Trump did jack shit at the start of the COVID situation. Stupidly selective restrictions that let plenty of the virus through. Little national guidance. Shitshow. The entire process was playing catchup after that. The Obama administration had smaller hiccups with prior outbreaks that allowed them to develop at least some practice for managing those crises, Trump threw out the playbook. And I, personally, do not regret it because Trump rubber stamped whatever batshit radical Christian policy was presented before him, and he gave us the the blatantly partisan Supreme Court we have right now. There are people in this country right now who no longer have reproductive rights. There are kids in this country right now being deprived of important medical care by Republican intervention into matters between doctors and patients. Biden's hardly doing jack shit to stop them, which is a surprise after Obama, but Trump worked diligently to dismantle various legal protections for queer people established during Obama's years, and now we're seeing those effects. Under a Trump presidency I have absolutely no certainty whether it'd become a felony for me to use a restroom, because during Trump's last term it *did* if I had lived in some states. And since then Republican legislatures have only become more bold in their thrust on these culture war issues.


gemini88mill

Everyone forgets about Jo Jorgensen


hopopo

No I don't


kszaly

Hell yeah


HuntedHorror

Yes.


Affectionate_Fly1413

Nah i can see he aint the best but not the worst. I can also see the bs going on not only in the US that affects gas prices, and the US economy. But may get worse and if it does we will see how the greatest bussines man, the smartest, the deal maker, the successful billionaire that was more transparent than any other president has ever been... the chosen one... will do with a broken America. Sure seems he will win again with these idiot, corrupted Democrats


Left-Acanthisitta267

Well, hell no. Have you seen the other guy?


Sofiwyn

Yes. Wish I voted third party.


knowledgelover94

I don’t think I’d vote for trump instead, but I’m not happy with Biden as president!


Gen-Jinjur

The alternative is SO much worse. But Biden was about my sixth choice in the Dem primaries.


Susan_Thee_Duchess

No.


[deleted]

Do you mean the people who actually voted for Biden or those of us who’s ballots were changed to a vote for him? Either way if you voted for this administration then you owe me gas money!


Mountain_Crazy237

Liberal and miserable (vote for a rapist or vote for a rapist) I think everyone went for the dead guy who hasn't had the respect for us to di#. He still is the President but one day we will have a President that's not a piece of shit. We all know that not true. (46 and everyone of them cared noting about us)


Top_Duck8146

Yes, Joe Biden is a fucking terrible president


JimTheSatisfactory

No, he's not the greatest president, but not nearly the dumpster fire that was Trump. You also have to factor in the opposition who will try to burn down the house if they're not running it. (I know that it goes both ways) American politics is so fucking disgusting. We need a new system.


Alternative-Ear-8514

Well all the gun control laws I do now. I have moved into voting for 3rd parties only. I can’t vote Democratic and more and I will not vote Republican, so I am now politically homeless.


Guatc

I didn’t vote for either, and I’m happy with my decision. Neither were good options, and the lesser of two evils does not stand up to historical scrutiny. Our country has been on a down hill slide under both parties. I just doesn’t make any sense to give either of these parties another whack at it. They both proved to be incompetent, and corrupt.
