I'm voting Biden, but not happily.
None of us really are.
Israel-Gaza conflict aside...what makes you unhappy about voting for him?
I have to admit that I wasn't thrilled about voting for him in 2020, but I also have to admit that in the intervening years he has at the very least met my expectations in most areas, and shockingly, he's exceeded them in a few areas.
As I get older, I've learned from experience to temper my expectations in a president, and with those adjusted expectations, I am surprised to find myself feeling better about voting for Biden in 2024 than I did four years ago.
I can sum it up in one word: age.
Look, I'm no spring chicken. My age starts with a 4 now, and it seems the age gap between me and the age of the president hasn't changed.
I'm just tired of geriatrics running the country.
Same here. I was not wild about him, and figured he'd be even more right of center than Obama was. Turns out to not be the case on quite a few fronts.
I'm overall happy with Biden except for Afghanistan and Gaza. Given the cards he was dealt with, he seems to be doing an ok job.
Afghanistan was mostly Trump.
In what way? He established an agreement that the Taliban violated, thereby making it void.
This is what I was referring to mostly:

Taliban are the best government for Afghanistan, you know why? Because democracy failed, socialism failed, liberalism failed. Realistically, the Taliban are the ones who can run a government in that region. We know the US couldn't.
