Unpopular opinion: Joe Biden is the best president of my lifetime.

I’m center-left. Born in 1988. Of all the presidents in my lifetime, Biden, whom I voted for but not in the primary, has come closest to making my own (middle class) life meaningfully better. He has taken reasonable and pragmatic action on student loans. He is staying strong on Ukraine without doing anything stupid. He’s rescheduled marijuana. His NLRB has been fantastic. He’s good on infrastructure and not terrible on the environment. He’s softened the blow of a looming recession. He’s old, but a sane and rational adult. He’s not perfect, but he has earned the vote of this former Bernie-or-Buster.

Completely agree.

I think that history will be particularly kind to Biden. He's overseeing a great economy, managed the transition from COVID to post-COVID very well, passed a great infrastructure bill, the IRA will likely prove to be a fantastic investment, and his reintroduction of industrial policy is leading to reshoring well-paying jobs. He's repaired our image abroad, strengthened old alliances, and has helped Ukraine stave off Russia and exposed them as a paper tiger with minimal investment and zero US casualties.

Fifty years from now, people will look at is low approval ratings and wonder what the hell most people were thinking. Republicans are pitching a hissy-fit for no reason other than the (D) next to his name, and people are wringing his hands because he's old, but whatever. Dude's killing it.

No one above the age of 2 can claim Joe Biden to be the best President in their lifetime.

I thought for a moment I must have started this thread myself. Except I was born in 1973. And I completely agree.

This is both Obama and Biden, but spouse and I were able to leave employment that trapped us with health care benefits, because of the ACA. We were able to start and nurture a successful small business which includes providing employment to a dozen employees. Go Joe!

Family member works for tiny business with no benefits. Health insurance price has more than quadrupled since the ACA. It is less affordable.

Why, it’s no other than Donald John Trump!!!

I love giving him every bit of my retirement and teeth-cleaning money because those woke, liberal fascists weaponized the DOJ against the big guy!!!

Obama was multiple times better. Opinions are one thing, but this borders on joking/trolling

Clinton and Reagan in my lifetime. I think history will bear that out.

Health care is a bloated ineffective cash grab for the industry but at least with the ACA we are not trapped in our old dead end jobs to get it. Hope the ACA is just a mid step before pushing back hard against big pharma, etc. and getting universal health care.
