    51% says Trump is doing a worse job than Biden? WTF is wrong with the other 49%!?

    Biden wasn’t great, but surely anything that’s not bringing the US to the brink of dictatorship and civil war is better than anything that is?

          I’ve got plenty of criticism of Obama too, but he’s easily the best US president of the 21st century, and it’s not even close. And although nowhere near as good, Biden is still easily #2, because at least he didn’t start two trillion dollar wars for nothing. And although he’s pretty bad, Bush is still easily #3, because for all his many, many faults, at least he didn’t usher in a full-blown fascist dictatorship driven by narcissism and stupidity.

          There’s no easier century to rank presidents.

            What sad, is both Obama and Biden were handed entirely fucked up US Economies from the previous Repugnantcans: bush from the deregulation crash of Wall Street and Biden because everything the orange Nazi touches turns to shit.

            Being the best president of the 21st century is also an incredibly low bar. Two of the five are child molesters!

          Yeah, at least he reacted to a financial crisis by giving money to people instead of corporations. Not enough money, but it was still going to mostly the right places. When the banks gambled with our money and caused a financial crisis Obama could’ve done the same thing and allocated housing money to people, which would “trickle up” to the banks. Instead he bailed them out with no strings attached so they could continue fucking everyone over.

      A lot of the time, poll results are based on how the poll is asked. If the questionaire was like: 1 trump worse than biden

      2 external factor affected the situation

      3 i like cheese

      You can see how this is going to affect the final result. There’s a whole science behind how to get the desired result from a poll without just faking the attendees

        Or - now just hear me out here - it is possible - just possible - that there are people opposed to raping children and ruining the entire country…

      Yeah but somewhat Biden was running child/organs/other trafficking and/or was a commie who wanted to destroy the US, and/or a satanist and a nazi.

      And probably more things but I’m a bit lost in all the batshit crazy conspi cloud. Anyway: Newsmax, and probably Fox still, won’t say Biden was better. And the other media are lying.
