democrats think he's been a great president cause it funds the war machine. leftists agree he's been a shit president because he went back on pretty much all his promises, fucked over striking workers, fucked over the bbb, and is ofc funding a genocide.
Trump sucks but fuck genocide Joe man
🙄
Copium off the charts. Take this back to /r/politics.
His record is meh. The economy has been doing alright, and he has made at least some progress on climate change. He did get a much-needed infrastructure bill passed through Congress. He also did follow through on the withdraw from Afghanistan, and Republican attempts to stir up scandal have been largely for naught, mainly focusing on Hunter instead of him.
Now for the bad: the signs of mental decline are hard to ignore, and his insistence on running for a second term puts the country at risk of a second Trump term. Fair or not, the honorable thing to do would have been to put the country first and step aside so that the Democrats could have had a proper primary and let some fresh blood in. If Trump is elected, and polls suggest he might, Biden's legacy will be ruined.
His "human rights based" foreign policy is a joke, with his term marked by support for brutal wars in Gaza and Yemen and the return of the Taliban to rule in Afghanistan. (Though, to be fair, I agree with his decision to withdraw.) I do think his administration is likely responsible for the Nordstream bombing as well. While it could be argued that the bombing was justified due to the Ukraine war, it undermines the idea of a "rules-based" order that the West is supposedly fighting for.
Most recently, his party's attempt to reform immigration has stalled in Congress, Ukraine aid is at a deadlock, and the possibility of war with Iran hangs on the horizon. All of this remains to be resolved.
I live in a pretty solid red state, so I might vote third party, but if was a more competitive state I would probably vote to reelect Biden. Unfortunately, I think the best case scenario is that Biden is reelected and either dies or resigns to make way for President Harris. Not ideal, this.
Simping for Genocide Joe.
That's be a yikes from me dawg.
He's a great president whenever his brain is functioning, so at least 0.3% of his total tenure so far.
Somehow still a better pick than DJT. What a fucking world we live in. Fuck the democrat trash for fucking over all other potential nominee's in favour of the guy who's one stressful situation away from a fucking aneurysm.
Before he was president, he helped weed out corruption in Ukraine, preventing Russia from gaining a foothold via selling cheap gas.
He pulled out of Afghanistan, and, while the Taliban promptly took over, the region saw more peace than it has in 40 years.
Of course, then Netanyahu left the door open on the 50th anniversary of the last Yom Kippur war, providing an excuse for rampant bloodshed, which the US has basically been facilitating. However the US' presence in the area has been arguably more about keeping trade corridors open than it has been about supporting Israeli terrorism.
He's also stood idly by while the Supreme Court exhibited the worst corruption seen in years. Sure, half of them were installed by Trump, but he hasn't exactly put up a solid opposition.
