God, I'm glad that's over. The news remains depressing, but at least it's less frustrating.

What's scary is that he has another chance of winning. 100% he will win GOP primaries and once again will be against Biden.

And this time he isn't even hiding that he isn't running for second term, he is running for life.

I think Biden would have a harder time if Trump doesn't win the primary

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Agree, but we also shouldn't underestimate him, underestimating trump was what gave him victory in 2016. No doubt that he will try once again to hold to power, and include all lessons learned. So it is very scary.

Would be so nice if he would just sit in front of his TV and eat hamburgers for the rest of his life. Of course watching cable news may be what inspired him to run to begin with.

Lmao it over until he dies.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, he’s pretty old at this point; and that figure does not come from a lifetime of healthy eating and exercise.

Medical advancement is speeding up. One day will be the first day of an immortal president.

Weird assumption to make

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

They'll just find another clown to dance and distract us from the raping and pillaging they're doing of what little democracy we have left.

Isn't this about looking forward to something?

Learn how to use this meme. Jesus Christ.

The way I interpreted it is that Trump might win again and people aren't keen on stopping it. I'm so fucking sick of these people that hate Biden enough to let Trump win. It's like people forgot how anxiety inducing those 4 years were compared to Biden's presidency. This meme format expresses the sadness of watching so called leftists refuse to work with liberals because they think they're as bad as fascists for some reason. It's a depressing slow motion train crash.

Biden was always going to be mediocre, but mediocrity beats an unhinged narcissistic fascist. It's not even a close comparison, and the people who think it is are not only wrong, they fail to recognize that Trump will be an order of magnitude worse if elected again. He has no one to hold him back. No slightly liberal conservative that would push back against him. Just yes men and nothing to lose. Listen to what they say they will do for crying out loud. It's empty and weak promises vs pure evil.

Is this a depressed mark ruffalo? What movie is this from?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

No, it's from narcos.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

No that's the Big Bad Wolf from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

[–] [email protected] -5 points 10 months ago (3 children)

maybe Biden is as good as a President can be

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Sometimes the best option you have is not making things worse.

Biden is stopping a Hitler from existing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Yeah voting for Biden was voting against trump. I don't think many people were excited to vote for him. Just excited for trump to go

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Let's not set the bar too low, now.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i don't find that funny.. he is an awesome President of a great Administration, and the fact that people can't recognize it is the reason we have a shitshow in Congress..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's an okay president who will be remembered as such. Certainly not as good as a president can be.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

you base that on personal feelings and nothing more.. he will be remembered as the greatest President since Lincoln..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man, I am definitely not seeing Teddy, FDR, or Truman level accomplishments out of Biden, whatever one's opinion of him. If he wants to prove me wrong in his second term, I'm willing to re-evaluate, but hold the hagiography for now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

you don't see what Joe has done, that's all.. you're vaguely aware of the general consensus on him, nothing more..

this is how you know for sure there's a great President in office: everything works, and everyone is just a little dissatisfied with the job he's doing... that's because the job is to make sure shit works and take all the heat.. that's why Trump is an anti-President... nothing worked and he's an expert at deflecting blame..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Biden is the best President in decades, but that's because things have been shitty for so long. Carter was the last president who was better than Biden, but people didn't appreciate him, and he certainly wasn't perfect. FDR had some serious negatives, but he accomplished so much. Nixon started the fall into awfulness, with Republicans constantly lowering the bar and Democrats following suit. Democrats have finally stopped moving right and started to move towards something reasonable, and if they're successful, Republicans might be permanently marginalized like in California unless they return to sanity.

For the last 20 to 30 years, every president has been disliked for most of their term. The only reason Bush wasn't was because of 9/11, and the public was dead wrong in their assessment of how well he was doing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We had Carter and Obama. Not saying either were the best but they were better in some ways.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Obama was worse than Biden except for maybe the ACA. It has a lot to do with where the Democrats were back then, but he was actually fairly conservative.
