President Joe Biden

Never understood why labelling someone especially with a tag that is neither appropriate to the subject matter equates to the person labelling thinking they have made statement that supports their narrative.

The only thing I can come up with is that it makes them feel better about themselves.

You know the gig , all people that support the Orange Man in an election are evil , racist , uneducated , idiots , deluded , flawed , brainwashed , inhumane when in fact some of them might have just ticked the wrong box and some of them have a son named Donald or have the hots for his daughter or some like the game of golf or didn't believe Joe when he said he was an top notch baseballer in his youth.

This is a real problem with society nowadays imo . As relationships in the home ,neighbourhoods and workplaces diminish they are replaced by people identifying themselves and others in groups that have a more combative role politics and cultural.

Part of that unification involves both parties rallying around the president. Some republicans are openly pro Putin and support his ideals. Along with some media outlets that even RT are saying "These motherfuckers are stealing our turf" (Probably both down to the genocide as well)

I think that utter fuckwit Tucker Carlson and a handful of unbalanced inbreds who side with him are not representative of even a measurable minority.

Much more tribalism in the world these days than a generation or two ago across many divides and yes the tension is ever increasing.

Not sure about the last line I regard them as keyboard warriors the types that are always under some ones thumb even their own if that's possible but are afraid to admit it so they get the "steel" they are deprived of on forums.

Ironically I still don't know if they actually have a view on anything other than calling those they pick at random c...ts.

What would they think of Joe if they knew he was more welcome at Trumps digs than Obama's (LOL) even though Trump would lie about it ever being the case.

Let's toast to zero alerts.

Trump's house is open to anyone as long as they buy a club membership and book a ticket.

I merely pointed out both Trump and Biden are a bad choice for the US and the rest of the world . A 40% approval rating for Biden suggests not everyone agrees with you ‘that he’s doing fine’.Its ok to have a counter view but your default setting appears to be that anyone challenging your position is racist or fascist .You’re entrenched mindset leaves no room for debate only acrimonious use of ‘labels’ like fascist, racist etc.

Approval ratings are fickle. It's mostly about income (usually) and financial outlook.

40% approval rating in the midst of a COVID pandemic, coupled with the attendant economic impact and now exacerbated by sky-rocketing gas prices due the Putin's war - 40% is par.

Moreover, post-Trump, politics in America are ultra polarized. It's unlikely that any Republican or Democrat in office will exceed 55% or so approval nor dip below 40% - regardless of what transpires.

Me - I'm a centrist. I'd vote for a Republican in the mould of Arnold Schwarzenegger (he's not eligible sadly due to non-US birth), or Mitt Romney or some other such. My politics are - I think - left-leaning but very much centrist. And I'm reasonable - I think.

Biden isn't perfect at all but...

Biden a bad choice for the US and the rest of the world? - I couldn't disagree more. On what basis do you make this assessment.

Biden is a centrist whose politics align with most of America and indeed the world. He's a believer in world-wide welfare and is more than willing to support other Democracies. He's an able statesman - perhaps the most experienced statesman the US has seen in living memory.

As a centrist, Biden believes in science and takes into account the opinions of experts in policy decisions. His handling of the COVID crisis has been exemplarily. And yet the right will fault him for this.

In short - that you think Biden a poor choice is strange.

That you label Biden with Trump in the same sentence as poor choices without differentiation is alarming.

A weak appeal to approval rating as your basis for Biden being a "bad choice" illustrates a lack of understanding of politics frankly.

As for anyone challenging my opinion being racist or fascist - that's a stretch. A completely unfounded attack.

Curiously, the only reason you cite that Biden is a bad choice for American is his 40% approval rating. This is a particularly weak argument - is this the only reason you think Biden bad?
