[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
+1 to you both. I think most people don’t really think for themselves on politics. Hardcore Republicans reflexively hate Democrats and the rest of most people mentally frame things however mainstream media frames them. The mainstream media in this country is very Republicans from the point of Afghanistan withdrawal - yet another thing Biden did well and is not going to get credit for for years - i.e. when a massive source of revenue for the corporate owners of media dried up, they began to go hard against Biden.

Would I have picked him? No, I voted in the primary for someone else. But he’s been amazing. Way to go, Black voters. You’re the ones who picked Biden and he’s been great.[/quote]

Dang, dude. You’re insanely racist.[/quote]
