      Sometimes the best option you have is not making things worse.

      Biden is stopping a Hitler from existing.

        i don’t find that funny… he is an awesome President of a great Administration, and the fact that people can’t recognize it is the reason we have a shitshow in Congress…

          He’s an okay president who will be remembered as such. Certainly not as good as a president can be.

            you base that on personal feelings and nothing more… he will be remembered as the greatest President since Lincoln…

              Man, I am definitely not seeing Teddy, FDR, or Truman level accomplishments out of Biden, whatever one’s opinion of him. If he wants to prove me wrong in his second term, I’m willing to re-evaluate, but hold the hagiography for now.

                you don’t see what Joe has done, that’s all… you’re vaguely aware of the general consensus on him, nothing more…

                this is how you know for sure there’s a great President in office: everything works, and everyone is just a little dissatisfied with the job he’s doing… that’s because the job is to make sure shit works and take all the heat… that’s why Trump is an anti-President… nothing worked and he’s an expert at deflecting blame…

                  Biden is the best President in decades, but that’s because things have been shitty for so long. Carter was the last president who was better than Biden, but people didn’t appreciate him, and he certainly wasn’t perfect. FDR had some serious negatives, but he accomplished so much. Nixon started the fall into awfulness, with Republicans constantly lowering the bar and Democrats following suit. Democrats have finally stopped moving right and started to move towards something reasonable, and if they’re successful, Republicans might be permanently marginalized like in California unless they return to sanity.

                  For the last 20 to 30 years, every president has been disliked for most of their term. The only reason Bush wasn’t was because of 9/11, and the public was dead wrong in their assessment of how well he was doing.

      We had Carter and Obama. Not saying either were the best but they were better in some ways.

        Obama was worse than Biden except for maybe the ACA. It has a lot to do with where the Democrats were back then, but he was actually fairly conservative.
