Joe Biden Presidency thread *Please read OP - Threadbanned Users Added 4/5/21*

I'm also not sure what these posts from "either" of you has contributed to the thread. If you think a post is not allowed, then report it rather than backseat mod.

However, there are many instances where you cannot conclude whether something associated with a presidency is good without comparing it to previous presidents, e.g. an approval rating. And I did not see "either" of you complaining earlier when Biden's approval rating was compared to Trump's. Not only did those posts that mentioned Trump not bother you, but you instead thanked those very posts that mentioned Trump. Why? Because that poster was on your side, so of course it doesn't bother "either" of you then.

Many people in this thread either live / have lived in America and/or have a career/education associated with US politics. You are not one of these people.

Took me awhile to find it but this reminded me of this tweet.

Yes, absolutely terrifying when you consider that the only three presidents who only had one full term presidency since approval ratings were first measured each had lows of 27.6%, 28.3% and 37.0%. He must be shivering in his boots that he's about to join the same group.

Not to mention the fact that the last president to never have an approval rating go lower than 50% was JFK, and that wasn't even one full term.

Edit: And also not to mention the fact that all of the full two term presidents since JFK had an approval rating of 45% or under (40.6%, 45.0%, 36.8%, 35.3%) at some point in their first term and yet somehow they were all re-elected.

So the fact that the poster you quoted has been objectively wrong in almost every post he has made does not make you question your opinion?

You should always be questioning your opinion, otherwise you have three bags full.

"I just turn Boards into a safe space."

You blamed Biden for someone's 3 year immigration issue when he is 9 months into his term. Let me highlight that again for you. You blamed Biden for someone's 3 year immigration issue when he is 9 months into his term. No poster, on either side, would ever agree that the reason you dislike Biden has anything to do with his policies based on that alone. And posters on both sides also find it hilarious that you consider people on the other side delusional based on that alone.

Any issue that currently exists in the US must be because of something that has happened in the past 9 months in your view. The US apparently does not have any long-term issues. The border "crisis", for example, has only existed in the past 9 months apparently. In fact, I believe you first blamed the border "crisis" on Biden less than a month into his term what, about half a dozen reregs ago?

Biden would like to personally apologise to you for not fixing that long term issue within his first month, he'll get right back to building that wall that people who have walked hundreds of miles across desert will certainly not have a plan on how to climb. Even though the majority of illegal immigrants in the US are from visa overstays and not from illegal border crossings, Biden hopes that this will make you happy.

You also claim that the vaccine drive has been "botched", even though his Covid relief plan has been universally praised. And even though when posters asked you how the vaccine drive could be improved, you could not answer. You both think it's bad and also can't think of any way of improving it, all at once. Impressive. 88% of Democrats are fully vaccinated compared to 55% of Republicans. The last republican president told US citizens that Covid was nothing to worry about. Who is at fault for that 55% figure?

You claim that the Afghanistan withdrawal was "botched" even though when posters asked you if the withdrawal was the correct thing to do, you did not respond. Because that would mean agreeing with something Biden did, and we couldn't possibly be having that. And if we asked you to point to withdrawals of that scale that have ever gone smoother, I'm sure you'd be able to make an impressively large list.

You suggest that Biden has "run scared from journalism". If I understand you correctly, you are not suggesting that Biden is afraid of getting a degree in journalism, but that he is not answering questions. Biden is, instead, answering questions at the same rate as previous US presidents, with the exception of the last one. Biden has had four times as many solo press conferences in his first nine months than the last president had in his first year, for example. I'm sure that didn't bother you at the time though. And at his first solo press conference, he was not asked a single question about the pandemic, arguably the biggest issue he has to deal with, so you must forgive him if he prefers spending his time fixing issues. The previous president also singled out reporters he didn't like and didn't take their questions. He would instead only take questions from reporters that he knew would ask him safe questions, even at press conferences. Biden does not do that as he is not a scared, sensitive little bitch.

And you suggest that Biden should be concerned about approval ratings, and yet every president of the past 50 years has at some point had an approval rating lower than Biden's lowest rating. Given that presidents who have had their approval rating as low as 35% in their fist term have somehow miraculously been re-elected, he must be absolutely terrified.
