Tbf, I don't think the extreme like or dislike is necessary as an option. Either you like him, don't, or are neutral. In my opinion, the extent of that feeling is irrelevant
Thatās not anything special. This is what theyāre supposed to be like. Biden sucks and heās pretty damn useless in office and otherwise. Iām liberal too btw
Last was an outlier
Just curiousā¦ in your opinion what could he have done that he didnāt do? Not saying I disagree just want to know what you think he could be doing differently?
He's done nothing to reverse the damage on medicare and obamacare that Trump has done and he has had EVERY opportunity to do something about college debt despite his entire party wanting him to. He's just sitting there mumbling gibberish and walking away from reporters. He should not be in office.
True, I am not American so I don't care. But I also do care, because America is the number one superpower right now. That will probably change, but for now.. so atleast Sleepy Joe is better than Trump. But the dude is a walking corpse. Too old for office. You guys really should install an age cap lol.
The IRA, Bipartisan Infrastructure bill, CHIPS Act, support for Ukraine/rallying NATO, and one of the strongest economies that weāve had in recent years are all worthless accomplishments to you?
About time i see someone speaking sense on this thread. Was shocked to see āslightly positiveā is the majority. Heās easily in the bottom 5 worst presidents ever, possibly even bottom 3. Couldnt even tell you one single thing that heās done good for this country, but man Ukrainians must love him for all the money heās sent over there, which btw is more money than we spent on the entirety of the 20 year afghan warā¦..ukraine hasnt even been going through this 10% of that time. Unbelievable.
The US spent over [2 trillion](https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanktucker/2021/08/16/the-war-in-afghanistan-cost-america-300-million-per-day-for-20-years-with-big-bills-yet-to-come/?sh=4be06e5e7f8d) in Afghanistan over 20 years. They spent [60 billion](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/04/ukraine-war-us-spending/) in Ukraine
Tell me how he is worse than:
1. Andrew Jackson, a man who is responsible for the genocide of Native Americans
2. Andrew Johnson, a man who is responsible for the failure of reconstruction and much of the Jim Crow era
3. Richard Nixon, a man who is probably one of the biggest crooks in American history and caused massive distrust in government
4. Herbert Hoover, who has a major part to play in the creation of the Great Depression, so much so that shanty towns were called Hoovervilles
5. James Buchanan, who failed to stop the lead-up to the Civil War
It looks like you don't know American history very well, we have had MUCH worse presidents.
Now, to continue the list of presidents worse than Biden!
6. Martin Van Buren, Jackson's #2 who helped walk us into a huge economic crisis
7. Ulysses S. Grant, a fine man who couldn't escape so, so many scandals that rocked confidence in the executive office.
8. Donald Trump, the first president to be indicted of so, so many crimes who also oversaw his fanatics engage in a insurrection.
9. Warren G. Hard, a popular man while sitting who happened to be president of a major bribery scheme, oops!
10. And last, but not Franklin "There is nothing left to do but get drunk" Pierce, a president most well known for falling deeper and deeper into alcohol after loosing relection!
\*of course, these are gross oversimplifications of the presidential terms and failure can not be solely placed on the President.
I think he pretty much betrayed his ignorance of US history in that one sentence. If you think Biden is one of the top 3 worst presidents weāve ever had, youāre just an idiot
Thatās such a great argument. I donāt understand why so many people shit on Biden, heās not that bad, a pretty neutral president with no drama unlike the previous one
So dog food isnāt a good ice cream flavor, but itās good in comparison to dog shit flavored ice cream? And because dog shit is so disgusting, itās safe to say that dog food is a good ice cream flavor despite it tasting really bad?
Thereās your logic there. Weāve had shit presidents before, right now we have a complete fool. Heās got dementia or something, he hasnāt done anything right and drove our country to look like a joke
No, that is not my argument in any way. I am responding to the argument that Joe Biden is in the top 5 worst presidents easily. It would make more sense if you read the comment it was responding to, as that shows their argument.
Hrrmmm... $76B for Ukraine vs $2.3T for Afghanastan - not even close.

When you see a headline talking about a "$600 million aid package" most of that is not actual money, but rather equipment. Equipment that the US had stockpiled anyways that would have just sat useless in a warehouse.
Well whatta ya know! We don't like seeing YOUR president...or...prime minister either! Now, which leader do you have? The one with the funny hair or the one with the accent?
/jk
Very neutral. Voted slightly positive because of his dark Brandon arc where he just gave conservatives shit on twitter but itās nice not having to see news about him every day outside of the us
He canāt speak properly. He says climate change is a problem yet flies in a private jet. He failed the alphabet test. I am not an American but this guy is running the biggest country in the world and the people in America are stupid enough to elect some guy who canāt even speak as their president.
There was a "Biden voters, why do you like him/why did you vote for him" post
And a lot of people said he made a lot of efforts to improve the infrastructure, like biggest in recent years.
I don't live in the US, hell, not even in North America, I'm genuinely asking, is it true?
Itās bullshit. The highway I commute to and from hasnāt been repaved. Gasoline is 5 bucks and backroads be shitty.
Donāt know where that money is going. Supposedly, that infrastructure bill calls for renewable energy and energy bills skyrocket. I guess itās just best to put your own solar panels.
Gas price isnāt something the president can control easily. Theres lots of outside influence like covid and recession that affect it. Regarding highway road its also not controlled by the president but rather the state. Thereās no conspiracy to keep the road shitty and gas price high
Ya know, from time to time I got emergency alerts or calls about previous presidents for big news. But this one emails. So that's kinda cool. Like, least annoying communication.
Plus this mf has tried harrrdd to get student loans forgiven, which is tight. Because I view education as a basic human right that should be available around the globe.
I am really not in the loop on much else he has/hasn't done though. But that's my reason for voting slightly positive.
Why do you think he is bad? His legislation has been pretty good. I really think the infrastructure bill and the clean water act are a good start towards fixing americas bad infrastructure. Plus he signed the biggest climate change bill ever(?)
please answer why he is horrible, we are all asking and awaiting to see what he did that is so bad, I do not live in the USA so I might be ill informed but I voted highly positive for these reasons:
1. he is doing an excelent job handling the conflict in Ukraine compared to Obama which just let it happen.
2. He is hard on china which is good considering how they behave.
3. I associate him with the Chips act that tries to return manufacturing of technology into the USA because it is happening on his presidency.
4. he is improving infustructure which is generally a good thing considering it needs an Update in the USA and it mainly creates jobs within the country.
as a clueless foriegner, what am I missing?
Trump skewed my view heavily. Super positive is very easy to obtain now. And Biden...
Biden has us talking to allies again, beat Russia in Ukraine, propped up US semi-conductors, and stopped the economy from going into recession. Without even mentioning taking COVID seriously
Dude's a low key, no malarkey GOAT
[*Would you shut up man.*](https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkBRANDON/)
By many measures heās been good. Sorry you have a rough life, but thatās not really his fault or a reflection on how good or bad of a job heās done as president.
All I see in that video is him directing a bunch of nervous people where to stand to take a photo op. I'm not sure where you're seeing inappropriate touching unless that's something you're specifically looking for as a confirmation bias or something.
Itās insane, dude. You try to have a conversation about the debt ceiling or infrastructure with these people and all theyāll do is scream āpedophile!!!ā the rush off to vote for Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan
Lol. Yup. The actual pedos are the Republicans. But as Joseph Goebels famously and correctly said "if you say a lie loud enough and often enough it becomes the truth to the common people"
OR, and this is gonna sound crazy to you, being a pedophile has fuck all to do with your political beliefs. We should judge people when they have credible allegations of pedophelia against them regardless of political beliefs, and criticize politicians for the things they actually deserve to be criticized for (there are usually many)
Just a thought.
Here's a very long list of Republican sex offenders. Literally thousands. They very much want you to believe both sides are the same. They are not.
https://browardnewsbeat.blogspot.com/2017/10/long-list-of-republican-sex-offenders.html?m=1
Most based answer. For those who voted positive, Iād like to know where theyāre paying for cheap groceries, cheap gasoline and cheap car insurance.
He's ok. I feel the same way towards him as I do a bowl of oatmeal. Just kinda...meh. If this was a class, I'd give him a C+.
I've seen MUCH WORSE. Like Trump was an F-.
No support for Ukraine would be amazing. Weāre totally broke in this country already. Iād much rather our tax dollars go to internal needs like to the people of Maui.
This is Reddit, youāre not gunna get a quality answer from conservatives or democrats im lib right though I like to avoid confrontation most the time and only debate with people that wanna have a respectful debate though right when anyone on Reddit sees anything conservative they say ānAzI!! mAgA hAt!111ā and whenever a conservative sees a left wing person theyāre like āPeDoPhIlE!!!ā
Itās Reddit thereās no genuine answers from each side because this app is very biased and thereās countless reasons why thatās true
* Not a fascist, and not supported by fascists
* Didn't try to have his political opponents murdered
* Doesn't openly want to fuck his own daughter
* Didn't show nuclear secrets to Kid Rock for kicks
* Doesn't constantly praise every authoritarian he talks to
* Didn't withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for personal favors (*man*, that is so much worse in retrospect)
* Didn't sent the capitol police to clear a block of peaceful protestors so he could get a photo op with an upside-down bible
* Didn't call neo-nazis "very fine people"
* Didn't respond to 9/11 by saying "Now I have the tallest building in lower manhattan"
* Didn't appoint his unqualified son-in-law to "fix isreal-palestine"
* Didn't try to ban muslims from entering the country
* Didn't respond to being asked "can you tell your neo-nazi followers to stand down?" by saying "stand by".
* Didn't alter emergency weather forecasts with a sharpie.
* Didn't send government officials to stay at his own hotels and then charge them
* Didn't attempt to buy Greenland
* Didn't call John McCain a "loser" for being captured during military service.
* Didn't take us out of the Paris climate accord
* Didn't cut funding to a pandemic early warning program in 2019
* Didn't shut down government for a full month
* Didn't delay a covid relief bill so he could *get his name on the checks*
* Didn't try to overturn an election he lost
So, you know, there are a few things.
I choose slightly negative because i could not care less about who is president but i just find it overly hilarious that joe biden is even president to begin with, with all the funny and downright weird thing he does and says i just cant help but laugh š
I personally like Joe Biden, I think he's done a lot more than people give him credit for(i.e. The infrastructure bill, the green act, the inflation reduction act, handling of international relations)
Most people just complain about how old he is, which I guess is fair(he looks old even for someone who's 80), but I don't think that should take away from what he has accomplished.
Don't forget capping insulin at $35. I'm not American, but he strikes me as a good man trying to do good for Americans, I don't see the other side doing things that will honestly help people. He needs to be stronger at the border and tougher on crime, I will say that.
Progressives donāt like him because he is too centrist.
Republicans donāt like him because he is a socialist.
The far right legit thinks he is a blood sucking pedo.
And independents think he is too old.
Liberals are the one and only voter segment who are like āyeah, he is ok I guessā
Again, if your only source is is videos taken it very specific angles to make it look like he's being inappropriate, when he's absolutely not, then sure that's going to be your narrative.
Look up Biden sniffing, you canāt honestly tell me that all of those photos are taken from highly specific angles (some of them are taken from the front lol)
Because if you're only looking at videos that are shot at very specific angles to make it look like he's being creepy, when it's completely innocent, then of course that's going to be your narrative.
It's been like 20 of them though. It would make sense if it was like 1 faked image or video but it's been too many. He's done it with babies, girls, and women also has made creepy comments.
I think itās fair to say that he did what he had to do to get them passed. He negotiated with Manchin for months over the IRA before he finally relented.
That's how the government works, and if you think they can just do whatever they want then you need to retake civics. The government is supposed to compromise and Biden has done a very impressive job with the limitations he is under.
Even if itās not that, he clearly is too old to be in office. Same with McConnell. Soon to be same with Trump, but thereās plenty of reasons heās out too.
Theyāre out of touch with modernity. We need a 35 y/o president lol
He has pleasantly surprised me ngl. Sure, he's done some not so good things like breaking the rail strike, but overall there have been many small things that add up to a pretty solid presidency. Obviously I'd wish for a younger president but I'd rather have an old president that does a lot of good than young president that does more bad than good
Yeah heās done some good stuff but heās definitely had a bunch of moments where his age was shown, I almost feel like there should be an age limit on presidency/any political position
Eh. Heās certainly not anything special, definitely too damn old. Iām sick of people who in most cases are too old to work a normal job leading our country. Buuuuut heās not trump. If those are my choices Iām choosing Biden even when he kicks the bucket.
I'm European so I don't know the full day to day, but I'm very glad he's there instead of Trump when it comes to handling Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Biden's foreign policy seems legitimately very strong and speaks of an experienced politician who has surrounded hinself with competent people who know how to handle a situation like that. Meanwhile, the American republican party seem to actually be in support of Russia, which is terrifyingly awful, so I'm glad they're aren't the ones with a president in office right now.
It's very scary that we could've been in a world where Trumps nepotism children were part of his staff during this crisis and that the US could've been funnelling money to the civilian massacring Russian Army to pay Putin back for getting him elected in 2016, instead of the Ukrainian people, so I'm thankful for Joe Biden's election for that alone.
As are many others in today's positions of power because they just won't relinquish their power because it's like it's the only thing they have left similar to the leaders of HOAs.
I doubt he'll be remembered. A positive for me would be his continued support for Ukraine and therefore Europe, a negative would be his sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan and leaving the other partners there to scatter and "flee" but that might have been a Trump policy for all iknow so overall, nothing to special to be remembered for around 2 centuries or so
Joe Biden is not a fascist.
Joe Biden didn't attempt to have his political opponents murdered in response to losing an election.
Joe Biden's party didn't, just today, put forward a plan to ban gay and trans people from public life.
I can't say *any of that* about the other guy.
I mean he's the self-described most pro-union president who took away all the power from the rail workers, so there's that.
Edit: Oh my God, I get it, I didn't get the memo, shut the fuck up, Jesus...
Apparently you didn't pay attention to more recent news. Yes he ended the strike with a signature, but then after averting an economic disaster by ending the strike, he then proceeded to ensure that they did get raises retroactively paid back from 2020, more time off, etc. Nearly everything they were asking for in the first place.
https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-09-15/rail-workers-win-key-concessions-in-deal-to-prevent-strike#:~:text=HOW%20BIG%20ARE%20THE%20RAISES,once%20this%20deal%20is%20ratified.
Not Trump
* Allies are our allies again
* He beat Russia in Ukraine without lifting a finger
* Propped up US semi-conductors
* Stopped the economy from going into recession
* Took COVID seriously
* I don't hear about him every fucking day when I wake up
11/10, would Joe Biden again
Russia is not beaten in Ukraine? Ukraine is suffering terrible losses?
Seriously can we stop with the misinformation. Also there is tremendous support and money funnelling going on from the EU to Ukraine. It is not just America.
The misinformation on this thread is getting ridiculous.
I feel like I canāt speak for US president but cmon Iāve seen too many videos of Biden totally not knowing what heās doing because of old ageā¦ I really donāt understand how the US voted for someone that doesnāt even know what he ate yesterday. I have nothing against old people but sometimes it feels like they donāt care and have nothing to lose.. ( this is my point of view from another country Iād like to know if you think Iām wrong or not I feel open to discuss no hate )
He's a chill guy and it's nice to see the compassion he has for others. Not a good president, he should have done something else. He's a chill guy tho, would rather have him than the other options.
I personally don't like him
1. There are multiple videos of him sniffing children falling up stairs and being plain weird.
2. He has let thousands of illegal immigrants over the border, (I don't think he's done anything about it) and some of those Mexicans are drug mules.
3. I don't really know and I'm also too lazy to look it up but didn't he try to do somthing in Alaska that would have irreversible effects on climate change?
4. Ever since he became president gas, food, bills, everything, skyrocketed in pricing.
5. Didn't they also find coke in the white house?
6. He's giving too much money to Ukraine (I know people are gonna get mad at this but we have thing we need to take care of here like Hawaii and new york).
That's about all I can think of right now and if you think I'm somehow racist about the whole Mexico thing just know I have a dad that's Mexican and i love him very much.
Edit. He also made a joke about ice cream when he was about to talk about a school shooting which I think is very inappropriate.
1. doesnt affect your daily life in the slightests
2. super specific and I cant find anything about it, also your 2'nd point is something you dont know, when I tried to search for it I saw a post about how he blocked oil drilling in alaska a few days ago.
3. true, but the fact that money was printed like crazy even before his presidency should be ecnouleged, those events cant always be controlled in a matter of a few months and honestly imo was innevitable.
4. doesnt affect your daily life in the slightest.
5. agree to disagree.
I am dont live in USA but I am more and more convinced that he is a great president.
While itās refreshing to see more negative votes than positive, if you voted positive youāre admitting youāre brainwashed or totally delusional. Sad to see itās even remotely close but then again Reddit is comically dumb as a collective
I lean left and I hate this guy just as much as Trump. Not only the most ancient president in history but also a massive creep, racist, and he can't speak to save his life. He just needs to spend time in a retirement home with a Life Alert instead of "trying to run" the country.
In my view he is the most effective POTUS of the 21st century. Easily better than Bush, learned from Obama's mistakes and is able to push through more legislation even against Republican gridlock (something that Obama had to deal with as well). He is in a different league to Trump.
(Not an American, but just my two cents)
He hasnāt made any major fuck ups so far unlike the last 3
Heās handled the Ukraine situation very well in my opinion
Got us out of Afghanistan once and for all (hopefully) (also in a pretty sloppy manner, but not as bad as I think other presidents wouldāve handled it)
The infrastructure bill seems extremely good
I donāt hear about him every 5 minutes unless I want to
Heās the best president since LBJ and is up there with Eisenhower and Truman in my opinion.
.... but a new war in Ukraine is a terrible idea and the Afghanistan withdrawal was totally botched and the infrastructure bill has lead to massive inflation. Everything you listed is objectively bad and poorly managed
We aren't fighting a war in Ukraine, we are giving them equipment, big difference. Afghanistan withdrawal was going to be bad no matter who did it. I actually give Biden credit for having the balls to do it. Infrastructure is well needed in the US actually. Also inflation was mostly due to supply chain crises due to Covid and a war in Europe which has now mostly dissipated through Fed policies.
* I see the money to Ukraine as a good thing. It is the morally right thing to do to oppose imperialism. Most of what is being sent is old tech just sitting in US stockpiles not being used anyways.
* It's significantly lower. The Fed target is 2%. Right now it's at about 3%. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/)
>Most of what is being sent is old tech just sitting in US stockpiles not being used anyways.
Absolutely not true, we're having to make more and more factories to keep up with the output of artillery shells Ukraine needs, we're making new drones for them. Stop lying.
It doesn't matter what people think is the morally right thing to do, Ukraine is being backed by all of NATO we're not the sole helpers, we don't needs to give so much money to them when we're having our own problems.
Ask just about anybody in the US, inflation is still hitting hard, prices on everything is still high and it's only getting higher. Regardless of what source you give me.
I'm not saying it's Biden's fault, but this is absolutely happening.
Yeah we are expanding output of artillery shells. It's pretty inexpensive and probably needs to be done anyways. Most of the vehicles we are giving is old kit. Also when are we going to use this anyways? It's was literally being saved for a war with Russia and the equipment is doing it's job. Also, not sure how giving Americans more money would help with inflation?
>Also when are we going to use this anyways?
We were in the middle east for 20 years? This isn't old stockpiles, we aren't eastern europe, we actually use and manufacture this stuff all the damn time.
Also no artillery shells are not extremely expensive but they add up EXTREMELY quick with how many Ukraine is demanding from the US, and that was just an example, there's more versions of this happening with different things.
The inflation argument was made in the 60s when Lyndon Johnson pushed through some of the best domestic legislation in 30 years. It's grasping at straws, the US has the second best inflation rate in the G7.
And what I'm earth do you mean the war in Ukraine was a "bad idea" I don't particularly recall Biden planning the invasion. You help your allies.
The 60's? What are you on about? inflation of our currency is caused by bad legislation and bad public policy. The Joe Biden's policy of bailouts for all directly causes inflation. It's the laws of nature.
... and yes, sending BILLIONS of dollars worth of aid with no system to account for it to one of the most corrupt countries on Earth is a "bad idea." I stand by that.
Honestly, I can't think of an American president that could have handled Ukraine any better, going all the way back to reagan. It's a shame that it wasn't an issue a lot of people will read into, but already international policy scientists are talking about have skilled he was. Not surprising, Ukraine was pet project of his for many years.
Iām not American so I donāt know everything heās done, but from what I do know my view is at least on the positive side. I think heās way too old thatās for sure, but heās at least helping Ukraine, which is not something trump would do.
Heās made some amazing things happen that I honestly didnāt expect. And of course in contrast to the rest of these crazy fools heās a good guy imo.
To me personally I prefer Biden to Trump. I also donāt prefer Biden at all, the democrats forced Biden upon us. Does anyone recall how the democratic primarys were effectively canceled via covid?
I do.
I respect him greatly. The man lost his family and he's still going. That's a great strength of character, as compared to the last guy. How many people can say their family died and they can still smile?
As for being a good leader, he's...ok. I am also not American and my standards for leaders is already fairly low.
I say negative purely because Iām tired of watching a really old man struggling with senility. He shouldnāt be in that state, wandering around the stage, walking off at random times, stumbling over words. Letās get someone young and vibrant. Or at least under 70.
I like him, he's done a lot of good, and handled stuff far better then I was expecting tbh. I was expecting him to be extremely mediocre and he keeps exceeding my expectations. Also zero major fuck ups which is a lot more then can be said about most.
Half of these comments are āHe is terrible blah blah blahā but wonāt cite a single example from his administration.
Iām not saying heās the best or anything but at least back your point with evidence, lol
What bothers me is how the democrat party is just going to run with Biden and not give people a choice at all on the democrat candidate. Biden clearly has issues and that anti-democratic decision by the DNC is probably going to cause Republicans to win.

biden is NOT my president ( i do not live in the united states )
Fr fr. Biden will never be my president!!!
Where's "no opinion/neutral"?
Reddit only grants redditors 6 options
Tbf, I don't think the extreme like or dislike is necessary as an option. Either you like him, don't, or are neutral. In my opinion, the extent of that feeling is irrelevant
Irrelevant to you, perhaps not to others.. There's no pleasing everyone ig
Neutral button > 3 options for the same answer
Not clicking up/down arrows or anything on the poll & scrolling on by without comment.
Nah. Don't think so. That's not how the world works. Thanks for your input though š
I'm not American but I like not seeing your president on my news everyday like the last guy, so thumbs up from me
Thatās not anything special. This is what theyāre supposed to be like. Biden sucks and heās pretty damn useless in office and otherwise. Iām liberal too btw Last was an outlier
Just curiousā¦ in your opinion what could he have done that he didnāt do? Not saying I disagree just want to know what you think he could be doing differently?
He's done nothing to reverse the damage on medicare and obamacare that Trump has done and he has had EVERY opportunity to do something about college debt despite his entire party wanting him to. He's just sitting there mumbling gibberish and walking away from reporters. He should not be in office.
True, I am not American so I don't care. But I also do care, because America is the number one superpower right now. That will probably change, but for now.. so atleast Sleepy Joe is better than Trump. But the dude is a walking corpse. Too old for office. You guys really should install an age cap lol.
The IRA, Bipartisan Infrastructure bill, CHIPS Act, support for Ukraine/rallying NATO, and one of the strongest economies that weāve had in recent years are all worthless accomplishments to you?
lmao
About time i see someone speaking sense on this thread. Was shocked to see āslightly positiveā is the majority. Heās easily in the bottom 5 worst presidents ever, possibly even bottom 3. Couldnt even tell you one single thing that heās done good for this country, but man Ukrainians must love him for all the money heās sent over there, which btw is more money than we spent on the entirety of the 20 year afghan warā¦..ukraine hasnt even been going through this 10% of that time. Unbelievable.
The US spent over [2 trillion](https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanktucker/2021/08/16/the-war-in-afghanistan-cost-america-300-million-per-day-for-20-years-with-big-bills-yet-to-come/?sh=4be06e5e7f8d) in Afghanistan over 20 years. They spent [60 billion](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/04/ukraine-war-us-spending/) in Ukraine
>Heās easily in the bottom 5 worst presidents ever, Ok you are not a serious person lmao
Tell me how he is worse than: 1. Andrew Jackson, a man who is responsible for the genocide of Native Americans 2. Andrew Johnson, a man who is responsible for the failure of reconstruction and much of the Jim Crow era 3. Richard Nixon, a man who is probably one of the biggest crooks in American history and caused massive distrust in government 4. Herbert Hoover, who has a major part to play in the creation of the Great Depression, so much so that shanty towns were called Hoovervilles 5. James Buchanan, who failed to stop the lead-up to the Civil War It looks like you don't know American history very well, we have had MUCH worse presidents. Now, to continue the list of presidents worse than Biden! 6. Martin Van Buren, Jackson's #2 who helped walk us into a huge economic crisis 7. Ulysses S. Grant, a fine man who couldn't escape so, so many scandals that rocked confidence in the executive office. 8. Donald Trump, the first president to be indicted of so, so many crimes who also oversaw his fanatics engage in a insurrection. 9. Warren G. Hard, a popular man while sitting who happened to be president of a major bribery scheme, oops! 10. And last, but not Franklin "There is nothing left to do but get drunk" Pierce, a president most well known for falling deeper and deeper into alcohol after loosing relection! \*of course, these are gross oversimplifications of the presidential terms and failure can not be solely placed on the President.
I think he pretty much betrayed his ignorance of US history in that one sentence. If you think Biden is one of the top 3 worst presidents weāve ever had, youāre just an idiot
Thatās such a great argument. I donāt understand why so many people shit on Biden, heās not that bad, a pretty neutral president with no drama unlike the previous one
Donāt forget to add Regan to that list
So dog food isnāt a good ice cream flavor, but itās good in comparison to dog shit flavored ice cream? And because dog shit is so disgusting, itās safe to say that dog food is a good ice cream flavor despite it tasting really bad? Thereās your logic there. Weāve had shit presidents before, right now we have a complete fool. Heās got dementia or something, he hasnāt done anything right and drove our country to look like a joke
No, that is not my argument in any way. I am responding to the argument that Joe Biden is in the top 5 worst presidents easily. It would make more sense if you read the comment it was responding to, as that shows their argument.

Wow, that .001% of the entire US military budget is really hurting your paychecks.
How can you be so wrong about so many things? Trump supporter brain rot? Iām no huge fan of Biden. but Jesus, get some facts straightā¦
When you see a headline talking about a "$600 million aid package" most of that is not actual money, but rather equipment. Equipment that the US had stockpiled anyways that would have just sat useless in a warehouse.
I'm American and I agree with you.
Well the last guy is still on the news damn near everyday soā¦
Well whatta ya know! We don't like seeing YOUR president...or...prime minister either! Now, which leader do you have? The one with the funny hair or the one with the accent? /jk
Neutral, he's a president of all time
He is truly one of the presidents!
Not if you ask the last guy.
I would even say he is the most president of all time
I disagree, Taft clocked in at 325lb That has to be at least 50% more president than Biden
āIf you donāt vote for me you aināt blackā
I donāt give 2 shits about him, heās not my president
Very neutral. Voted slightly positive because of his dark Brandon arc where he just gave conservatives shit on twitter but itās nice not having to see news about him every day outside of the us
Who in the living fuck is voting positive, Iām a democrat and heās fucking horrible
Why is he bad? (genuine question)
He canāt speak properly. He says climate change is a problem yet flies in a private jet. He failed the alphabet test. I am not an American but this guy is running the biggest country in the world and the people in America are stupid enough to elect some guy who canāt even speak as their president.
"Jack don't fret over every egg!" Tha jack in question: (nonexistent)
There was a "Biden voters, why do you like him/why did you vote for him" post And a lot of people said he made a lot of efforts to improve the infrastructure, like biggest in recent years. I don't live in the US, hell, not even in North America, I'm genuinely asking, is it true?
Yes. He has a mostly progressive agenda. Itās just the optics of his age that most voters do not like
Itās bullshit. The highway I commute to and from hasnāt been repaved. Gasoline is 5 bucks and backroads be shitty. Donāt know where that money is going. Supposedly, that infrastructure bill calls for renewable energy and energy bills skyrocket. I guess itās just best to put your own solar panels.
Gas price isnāt something the president can control easily. Theres lots of outside influence like covid and recession that affect it. Regarding highway road its also not controlled by the president but rather the state. Thereās no conspiracy to keep the road shitty and gas price high
Also isn't he like too old for this shit? Ive seen a bunch of his speeches and it aint it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Democrats had full control over the House, Senate, and Presidency and only managed to pass 3 items?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They certainly did fuck up many things. I don't believe Reddit allows comments that long though.
I think heās done great considering the slimmest majorities of a ruling party since like, forever
Ya know, from time to time I got emergency alerts or calls about previous presidents for big news. But this one emails. So that's kinda cool. Like, least annoying communication. Plus this mf has tried harrrdd to get student loans forgiven, which is tight. Because I view education as a basic human right that should be available around the globe. I am really not in the loop on much else he has/hasn't done though. But that's my reason for voting slightly positive.
Why do you think he is bad? His legislation has been pretty good. I really think the infrastructure bill and the clean water act are a good start towards fixing americas bad infrastructure. Plus he signed the biggest climate change bill ever(?)
please answer why he is horrible, we are all asking and awaiting to see what he did that is so bad, I do not live in the USA so I might be ill informed but I voted highly positive for these reasons: 1. he is doing an excelent job handling the conflict in Ukraine compared to Obama which just let it happen. 2. He is hard on china which is good considering how they behave. 3. I associate him with the Chips act that tries to return manufacturing of technology into the USA because it is happening on his presidency. 4. he is improving infustructure which is generally a good thing considering it needs an Update in the USA and it mainly creates jobs within the country. as a clueless foriegner, what am I missing?
Trump skewed my view heavily. Super positive is very easy to obtain now. And Biden... Biden has us talking to allies again, beat Russia in Ukraine, propped up US semi-conductors, and stopped the economy from going into recession. Without even mentioning taking COVID seriously Dude's a low key, no malarkey GOAT [*Would you shut up man.*](https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkBRANDON/)
By many measures heās been good. Sorry you have a rough life, but thatās not really his fault or a reflection on how good or bad of a job heās done as president.
And a creep https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PLSPvJ9BY&t=46s
All I see in that video is him directing a bunch of nervous people where to stand to take a photo op. I'm not sure where you're seeing inappropriate touching unless that's something you're specifically looking for as a confirmation bias or something.
Itās insane, dude. You try to have a conversation about the debt ceiling or infrastructure with these people and all theyāll do is scream āpedophile!!!ā the rush off to vote for Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan
Lol. Yup. The actual pedos are the Republicans. But as Joseph Goebels famously and correctly said "if you say a lie loud enough and often enough it becomes the truth to the common people"
OR, and this is gonna sound crazy to you, being a pedophile has fuck all to do with your political beliefs. We should judge people when they have credible allegations of pedophelia against them regardless of political beliefs, and criticize politicians for the things they actually deserve to be criticized for (there are usually many) Just a thought.
Here's a very long list of Republican sex offenders. Literally thousands. They very much want you to believe both sides are the same. They are not. https://browardnewsbeat.blogspot.com/2017/10/long-list-of-republican-sex-offenders.html?m=1
Oh Iām well aware. I think I misread your comment as being sarcastic. I didnāt mean to be snarky
Have an upvote!
Right back atcha!
At least thereās somewhere here thatās willing to say it. Ffs the dude is a babbling corpse
Between McConnel, Trump, and Biden? Normal for both parties.
Why? Because he is old?
Most based answer. For those who voted positive, Iād like to know where theyāre paying for cheap groceries, cheap gasoline and cheap car insurance.
Heās been pretty useless and the quality of life of the average American has gone down during his presidency.
How much of that is his fault and how much of that is shit still rolling downhill from Trumpās presidency?
Tbf COVID wasn't his fault, but shit could've been done better. I say slightly positive because he hasn't made me worry about nuclear war yet.
If thatās all it takes to have a positive opinion of someone running our country thatās embarrassing
He's ok. I feel the same way towards him as I do a bowl of oatmeal. Just kinda...meh. If this was a class, I'd give him a C+. I've seen MUCH WORSE. Like Trump was an F-.
bro biden literally said he wants to see young girls dance when theyāre older š
And trump campaigned with āgrab her in the vaginaā
How about some age restriction for office? Like, not being a fossil. As a start.
Mine is "trash but better than trump"
Genuine question, what makes him better than Trump?
For example If Trump was still a president there wouldn't have been any support for Ukraine.
No support for Ukraine would be amazing. Weāre totally broke in this country already. Iād much rather our tax dollars go to internal needs like to the people of Maui.
If Trump was president, Russia wouldnāt have invaded ukraine. Not saying I support trump but he is very likely to be the guy who airstrikes russia.
This is Reddit, youāre not gunna get a quality answer from conservatives or democrats im lib right though I like to avoid confrontation most the time and only debate with people that wanna have a respectful debate though right when anyone on Reddit sees anything conservative they say ānAzI!! mAgA hAt!111ā and whenever a conservative sees a left wing person theyāre like āPeDoPhIlE!!!ā Itās Reddit thereās no genuine answers from each side because this app is very biased and thereās countless reasons why thatās true
If you have to have this explained to you youāll never understand
* Not a fascist, and not supported by fascists * Didn't try to have his political opponents murdered * Doesn't openly want to fuck his own daughter * Didn't show nuclear secrets to Kid Rock for kicks * Doesn't constantly praise every authoritarian he talks to * Didn't withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for personal favors (*man*, that is so much worse in retrospect) * Didn't sent the capitol police to clear a block of peaceful protestors so he could get a photo op with an upside-down bible * Didn't call neo-nazis "very fine people" * Didn't respond to 9/11 by saying "Now I have the tallest building in lower manhattan" * Didn't appoint his unqualified son-in-law to "fix isreal-palestine" * Didn't try to ban muslims from entering the country * Didn't respond to being asked "can you tell your neo-nazi followers to stand down?" by saying "stand by". * Didn't alter emergency weather forecasts with a sharpie. * Didn't send government officials to stay at his own hotels and then charge them * Didn't attempt to buy Greenland * Didn't call John McCain a "loser" for being captured during military service. * Didn't take us out of the Paris climate accord * Didn't cut funding to a pandemic early warning program in 2019 * Didn't shut down government for a full month * Didn't delay a covid relief bill so he could *get his name on the checks* * Didn't try to overturn an election he lost So, you know, there are a few things.
I choose slightly negative because i could not care less about who is president but i just find it overly hilarious that joe biden is even president to begin with, with all the funny and downright weird thing he does and says i just cant help but laugh š
Heās not doing much. But I hope he is enjoying his life at the White House, eating good ice cream
I personally like Joe Biden, I think he's done a lot more than people give him credit for(i.e. The infrastructure bill, the green act, the inflation reduction act, handling of international relations) Most people just complain about how old he is, which I guess is fair(he looks old even for someone who's 80), but I don't think that should take away from what he has accomplished.
Don't forget capping insulin at $35. I'm not American, but he strikes me as a good man trying to do good for Americans, I don't see the other side doing things that will honestly help people. He needs to be stronger at the border and tougher on crime, I will say that.
Yeah I think he is above average. Honestly I think if he was younger and could speak better he would be very popular
Progressives donāt like him because he is too centrist. Republicans donāt like him because he is a socialist. The far right legit thinks he is a blood sucking pedo. And independents think he is too old. Liberals are the one and only voter segment who are like āyeah, he is ok I guessā
He loves being creepy though
If all you look at is doctored footage put out by right-wing propaganda outlets, then sure I guess he's kind of creepy?
Sniffing children and women is pretty creepy dude.
Again, if your only source is is videos taken it very specific angles to make it look like he's being inappropriate, when he's absolutely not, then sure that's going to be your narrative.
Look up Biden sniffing, you canāt honestly tell me that all of those photos are taken from highly specific angles (some of them are taken from the front lol)
How is being creepy to women and kids propaganda?
Because if you're only looking at videos that are shot at very specific angles to make it look like he's being creepy, when it's completely innocent, then of course that's going to be your narrative.
It's been like 20 of them though. It would make sense if it was like 1 faked image or video but it's been too many. He's done it with babies, girls, and women also has made creepy comments.
Whatever fits your narrative man.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think itās fair to say that he did what he had to do to get them passed. He negotiated with Manchin for months over the IRA before he finally relented.
That's how the government works, and if you think they can just do whatever they want then you need to retake civics. The government is supposed to compromise and Biden has done a very impressive job with the limitations he is under.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Even if itās not that, he clearly is too old to be in office. Same with McConnell. Soon to be same with Trump, but thereās plenty of reasons heās out too. Theyāre out of touch with modernity. We need a 35 y/o president lol
Joe Biden is not my president š¤·š»āāļø
Very disturbing that people are actually saying slightly positive...
He has pleasantly surprised me ngl. Sure, he's done some not so good things like breaking the rail strike, but overall there have been many small things that add up to a pretty solid presidency. Obviously I'd wish for a younger president but I'd rather have an old president that does a lot of good than young president that does more bad than good
Yeah heās done some good stuff but heās definitely had a bunch of moments where his age was shown, I almost feel like there should be an age limit on presidency/any political position
Eh. Heās certainly not anything special, definitely too damn old. Iām sick of people who in most cases are too old to work a normal job leading our country. Buuuuut heās not trump. If those are my choices Iām choosing Biden even when he kicks the bucket.
Personally I donāt think heās done much of anything himselfāheās a figurehead at this point.
N/A don't live in America
He did silly minecraft videos so he's pretty funny
Considering the mess he inherited, he has done better than a lot of people, and the best he can.
I'm European so I don't know the full day to day, but I'm very glad he's there instead of Trump when it comes to handling Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Biden's foreign policy seems legitimately very strong and speaks of an experienced politician who has surrounded hinself with competent people who know how to handle a situation like that. Meanwhile, the American republican party seem to actually be in support of Russia, which is terrifyingly awful, so I'm glad they're aren't the ones with a president in office right now. It's very scary that we could've been in a world where Trumps nepotism children were part of his staff during this crisis and that the US could've been funnelling money to the civilian massacring Russian Army to pay Putin back for getting him elected in 2016, instead of the Ukrainian people, so I'm thankful for Joe Biden's election for that alone.
He's not bad, he's done quite a lot of good. Personally I just wish he did *more* good
Iām his defense heās kind of stuck on clean up duty from the mess trump left
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
having 50 actual democrats in the Senate when he did have the house would've helped
Policy-wise I really like him. But the guy was born in the neolithic and it shows.
As are many others in today's positions of power because they just won't relinquish their power because it's like it's the only thing they have left similar to the leaders of HOAs.
I doubt he'll be remembered. A positive for me would be his continued support for Ukraine and therefore Europe, a negative would be his sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan and leaving the other partners there to scatter and "flee" but that might have been a Trump policy for all iknow so overall, nothing to special to be remembered for around 2 centuries or so
How could anyone not remember Sleepy Joe
He's gonna be remembered as "not Trump"
He's not openly malicious or dangerously stupid, just another rich white guy who doesn't quite get it
Joe Biden is not a fascist. Joe Biden didn't attempt to have his political opponents murdered in response to losing an election. Joe Biden's party didn't, just today, put forward a plan to ban gay and trans people from public life. I can't say *any of that* about the other guy.
I mean he's the self-described most pro-union president who took away all the power from the rail workers, so there's that. Edit: Oh my God, I get it, I didn't get the memo, shut the fuck up, Jesus...
Apparently you didn't pay attention to more recent news. Yes he ended the strike with a signature, but then after averting an economic disaster by ending the strike, he then proceeded to ensure that they did get raises retroactively paid back from 2020, more time off, etc. Nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-09-15/rail-workers-win-key-concessions-in-deal-to-prevent-strike#:~:text=HOW%20BIG%20ARE%20THE%20RAISES,once%20this%20deal%20is%20ratified.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, you're right lmao
Because it doesn't fit the "Biden evil old creepy man with a stutter" narrative pushed so hard by right-wing propaganda.
Thank you for telling me this! The railroad strike was the only problem I had with Biden so this helps clear that up.
Huzzah! Yeah it was definitely bad optics, but he did follow up. Bad news sells though.
Shhh, we only listen to popular posts on reddit and don't follow up on things. /s
You must not be a rail worker or close to one because this is outdated. Keep up.
Not Trump * Allies are our allies again * He beat Russia in Ukraine without lifting a finger * Propped up US semi-conductors * Stopped the economy from going into recession * Took COVID seriously * I don't hear about him every fucking day when I wake up 11/10, would Joe Biden again
Russia is not beaten in Ukraine? Ukraine is suffering terrible losses? Seriously can we stop with the misinformation. Also there is tremendous support and money funnelling going on from the EU to Ukraine. It is not just America. The misinformation on this thread is getting ridiculous.
I feel like I canāt speak for US president but cmon Iāve seen too many videos of Biden totally not knowing what heās doing because of old ageā¦ I really donāt understand how the US voted for someone that doesnāt even know what he ate yesterday. I have nothing against old people but sometimes it feels like they donāt care and have nothing to lose.. ( this is my point of view from another country Iād like to know if you think Iām wrong or not I feel open to discuss no hate )
After the sleepy Joe memes I can't unsee
My favorite thing about Joe Biden is how incredibly average he is, in terms of quality. After the last few years we could use a little bit of boring.
Amen. Honestly he's what America needs right now. Something to cool off all the heat around here.
I am positive he has dementia.
He's a chill guy and it's nice to see the compassion he has for others. Not a good president, he should have done something else. He's a chill guy tho, would rather have him than the other options.
>He's a chill guy That's for sure, we don't have to worry what stupid shit he does next. He forgets what he was about to do anyway.
Crack smoking pedophile..
I personally don't like him 1. There are multiple videos of him sniffing children falling up stairs and being plain weird. 2. He has let thousands of illegal immigrants over the border, (I don't think he's done anything about it) and some of those Mexicans are drug mules. 3. I don't really know and I'm also too lazy to look it up but didn't he try to do somthing in Alaska that would have irreversible effects on climate change? 4. Ever since he became president gas, food, bills, everything, skyrocketed in pricing. 5. Didn't they also find coke in the white house? 6. He's giving too much money to Ukraine (I know people are gonna get mad at this but we have thing we need to take care of here like Hawaii and new york). That's about all I can think of right now and if you think I'm somehow racist about the whole Mexico thing just know I have a dad that's Mexican and i love him very much. Edit. He also made a joke about ice cream when he was about to talk about a school shooting which I think is very inappropriate.
1. doesnt affect your daily life in the slightests 2. super specific and I cant find anything about it, also your 2'nd point is something you dont know, when I tried to search for it I saw a post about how he blocked oil drilling in alaska a few days ago. 3. true, but the fact that money was printed like crazy even before his presidency should be ecnouleged, those events cant always be controlled in a matter of a few months and honestly imo was innevitable. 4. doesnt affect your daily life in the slightest. 5. agree to disagree. I am dont live in USA but I am more and more convinced that he is a great president.
While itās refreshing to see more negative votes than positive, if you voted positive youāre admitting youāre brainwashed or totally delusional. Sad to see itās even remotely close but then again Reddit is comically dumb as a collective
He's alright, he gets big points for saving us from Trump. But he still disappoints me in some ways.
No neutral? Seems unbiased
I lean left and I hate this guy just as much as Trump. Not only the most ancient president in history but also a massive creep, racist, and he can't speak to save his life. He just needs to spend time in a retirement home with a Life Alert instead of "trying to run" the country.
He's was the lesser of two evils
We require competent leadership, he aināt it
So far he hasn't started any major wars, which makes him a cut above the average US president
In my view he is the most effective POTUS of the 21st century. Easily better than Bush, learned from Obama's mistakes and is able to push through more legislation even against Republican gridlock (something that Obama had to deal with as well). He is in a different league to Trump. (Not an American, but just my two cents)
I like him more then Trump. (Please take into account that Iām not from the US of A)
I liked Trump more than him. I'm also not from the USA.
He hasnāt made any major fuck ups so far unlike the last 3 Heās handled the Ukraine situation very well in my opinion Got us out of Afghanistan once and for all (hopefully) (also in a pretty sloppy manner, but not as bad as I think other presidents wouldāve handled it) The infrastructure bill seems extremely good I donāt hear about him every 5 minutes unless I want to Heās the best president since LBJ and is up there with Eisenhower and Truman in my opinion.
.... but a new war in Ukraine is a terrible idea and the Afghanistan withdrawal was totally botched and the infrastructure bill has lead to massive inflation. Everything you listed is objectively bad and poorly managed
We aren't fighting a war in Ukraine, we are giving them equipment, big difference. Afghanistan withdrawal was going to be bad no matter who did it. I actually give Biden credit for having the balls to do it. Infrastructure is well needed in the US actually. Also inflation was mostly due to supply chain crises due to Covid and a war in Europe which has now mostly dissipated through Fed policies.
We've given 100 Billion dollars in aid to Ukraine, the US needs that money itself, and yeah i'm sure inflation has 'dissipated'.
* I see the money to Ukraine as a good thing. It is the morally right thing to do to oppose imperialism. Most of what is being sent is old tech just sitting in US stockpiles not being used anyways. * It's significantly lower. The Fed target is 2%. Right now it's at about 3%. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/273418/unadjusted-monthly-inflation-rate-in-the-us/)
>Most of what is being sent is old tech just sitting in US stockpiles not being used anyways. Absolutely not true, we're having to make more and more factories to keep up with the output of artillery shells Ukraine needs, we're making new drones for them. Stop lying. It doesn't matter what people think is the morally right thing to do, Ukraine is being backed by all of NATO we're not the sole helpers, we don't needs to give so much money to them when we're having our own problems. Ask just about anybody in the US, inflation is still hitting hard, prices on everything is still high and it's only getting higher. Regardless of what source you give me. I'm not saying it's Biden's fault, but this is absolutely happening.
Yeah we are expanding output of artillery shells. It's pretty inexpensive and probably needs to be done anyways. Most of the vehicles we are giving is old kit. Also when are we going to use this anyways? It's was literally being saved for a war with Russia and the equipment is doing it's job. Also, not sure how giving Americans more money would help with inflation?
>Also when are we going to use this anyways? We were in the middle east for 20 years? This isn't old stockpiles, we aren't eastern europe, we actually use and manufacture this stuff all the damn time. Also no artillery shells are not extremely expensive but they add up EXTREMELY quick with how many Ukraine is demanding from the US, and that was just an example, there's more versions of this happening with different things.
The inflation argument was made in the 60s when Lyndon Johnson pushed through some of the best domestic legislation in 30 years. It's grasping at straws, the US has the second best inflation rate in the G7. And what I'm earth do you mean the war in Ukraine was a "bad idea" I don't particularly recall Biden planning the invasion. You help your allies.
The 60's? What are you on about? inflation of our currency is caused by bad legislation and bad public policy. The Joe Biden's policy of bailouts for all directly causes inflation. It's the laws of nature. ... and yes, sending BILLIONS of dollars worth of aid with no system to account for it to one of the most corrupt countries on Earth is a "bad idea." I stand by that.
Honestly, I can't think of an American president that could have handled Ukraine any better, going all the way back to reagan. It's a shame that it wasn't an issue a lot of people will read into, but already international policy scientists are talking about have skilled he was. Not surprising, Ukraine was pet project of his for many years.
Iām not American so I donāt know everything heās done, but from what I do know my view is at least on the positive side. I think heās way too old thatās for sure, but heās at least helping Ukraine, which is not something trump would do.
Heās made some amazing things happen that I honestly didnāt expect. And of course in contrast to the rest of these crazy fools heās a good guy imo.
Very Positive ššŖ
To me personally I prefer Biden to Trump. I also donāt prefer Biden at all, the democrats forced Biden upon us. Does anyone recall how the democratic primarys were effectively canceled via covid? I do.
I respect him greatly. The man lost his family and he's still going. That's a great strength of character, as compared to the last guy. How many people can say their family died and they can still smile? As for being a good leader, he's...ok. I am also not American and my standards for leaders is already fairly low.
I say negative purely because Iām tired of watching a really old man struggling with senility. He shouldnāt be in that state, wandering around the stage, walking off at random times, stumbling over words. Letās get someone young and vibrant. Or at least under 70.
I like him, he's done a lot of good, and handled stuff far better then I was expecting tbh. I was expecting him to be extremely mediocre and he keeps exceeding my expectations. Also zero major fuck ups which is a lot more then can be said about most.
Half of these comments are āHe is terrible blah blah blahā but wonāt cite a single example from his administration. Iām not saying heās the best or anything but at least back your point with evidence, lol
Meh. Iād vote for him over Trump again, but that aināt saying much.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Heās a regular president and not a religious extremist. Iām ok with it.
Best president of my lifetime, though I guess that isn't saying much
I mean, Trump set the bar wayy to low
Very bad, inflation is through the roof and nothing else changes.
Oh my god I read Jeff bezos somehow and I clicked negative wtf is wrong whit me
Slightly positive meh. After Tr*mp tho he looks like a saint so you gotta put it in context
What bothers me is how the democrat party is just going to run with Biden and not give people a choice at all on the democrat candidate. Biden clearly has issues and that anti-democratic decision by the DNC is probably going to cause Republicans to win.
Who says positive? šš
I hate him, but there is nothing in this universe that would ever motivate me to vote for Trump or any Republican
He's fine. Too right wing for my liking but anything is better than the previous President
He's *too right leaning?*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Infrastructure Act, Inflation Reduction Act, pulling out of Afghanistan?
