    Lol you all caps shouted “YES” agreeing to what I said and literally said “Biden is bad”.

    Bare minimum huh? Back to your mental gymnastics. Biden’s doing fucking great.

    You want more? He doesn’t even have control of the house of representatives. If you want more give him and Dems consistent and resounding victories.

    I think this is where I inform you that Dems have had control of all three (house, Senate, and presidency) for a whooping 4 years of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton, then it’s 6 of the last 32 years. You want more progress? Give Dems consistent and resounding victories. Not a measly half term every second president.

        While it’s obviously not good to have a low approval rating, it also doesn’t tell you whether or not a person will vote for him. I don’t approve of him, but will still vote for him because there’s no other viable non-fascist alternative.

          It doesn’t tell you whether a person will vote against them, but its a classic litmus test for turnout in favor. Below 50% approval rating signals a higher than average likelihood of an incumbent losing one’s seat. And the only countervailing narrative is when the primary opposition also has low approval.

          Obama beating Romney in '12 was a case of two Presidential candidates being underwater and Romney simply having worse negatives than Obama on election day. Both parties saw a drop-off in voter participation relative to the '08 high water mark.

      My apologies, I post anything critical of Biden and the centrist rage comes out of the woodwork to defend him. I got my comments mixed up.

      What should Biden do differently to run away with the change of winning re-election?

        Fucking lol dude. That you admit it in one thread, but then try to beat around the bush and deny your deep seated hatred in another doesn’t help you. People can see through it and call you out. That you only admit it in a different chain doesn’t matter. You’re playing games, shouting it in one chain and then denying it another. This doesn’t help you at all.

        Have to point out your projection of “rage”. You are raging, so you project it.

        And then you play the game, after I listed off all the good things he did, of asking me what he should do differently to change? Do you mean chance? Whatever, all you’re doing it playing games. Any answer will be met with mental blackflips for whatever game. Ok I said it before, ciao
