Perhaps you could change the tune of this thread by posting about a recent "win" of Biden?! ^_^

Every day the United States isn't in a dick measuring contest with North Korea about the size of our Nuke button is a win for me.

Biden has been president for 17 months, there are about two dozen different crises raging at the moment - and the Biden admin has no idea how to solve any of them (and half of them are of their own making anyway).
Sorry, but "no more mean tweets" just isn't cutting it anymore, as evidenced by his dreadful polling numbers (lower than even Trump's, SAD!)

Two dozen different crises lol. I'd say that you have Biden Derangement Syndrome but it seems that the anti-semites already claimed BDS.

You're just upset that he's not the best public speaker and that your country's cowardice is forcing America to be the leader of Europe AGAIN.

You, of all people, should be able to recognize tongue-in-cheek hyperbole. ;)


But okay, let's make a quick, incomplete list:

Domestically, we have:
- soaring gas and energy prices
- soaring food prices, in some cases empty shelves
- supply chain issues at large, which is, for example, slowing the construction of new housing
- a worsening economic outlook
- a comparatively tight labor market which threatens to exacerbate and consolidate high inflation rates even if the shockwaves from the exogenous shocks (covid, ukraine) abate
- soaring crime rates in lots of America's largest cities
- a situation at the southern border that's quite out of control
- a gridlocked Congress that won't let Biden pass any ambitious policy in spite of being under Democratic control

As a megacrisis, the war in Ukraine that:
- slows the pivot to the Pacific region
- weakens the global economy
- threatens a huge humanitarian crisis in both Ukraine itself as well as the Third World
- strengthens China geopolitically

Further foreign policy issues:
- mounting tensions with China in general, over Taiwan in particular
- an emboldened and increasingly assertive India
- Turkey acting like a Trojan Horse in NATO, but also with regard to Northern Syria
- Iran inching closer to the bomb
- North Korea continuing its tests of ICBMs undetered



That's 17 different issues, and I'm sure I still forgot some. But sure, I'm only shitting on Biden because he's a bad public speaker or because I secretly wish my own country's leader was more like Biden (LOL!)...

There is no way the Dems will be able to take the midterms or 2024 legitimately at this point.

They really dug a hole for themselves and they know it. You would think they would understand destroying the economy is not something they can do and still get re-elected. But they have gone off the deep end.
