The trigger warning is for lefties and centrists who like to think the Joe Biden is the lesser of the two evils and for the righties who think Joe is the worst president ever. You are dead wrong. Joe Biden is a great president. Not just a good one. Not just a better choice than Donald Trump. Joe Biden is a historically great president. Few presidents since FDR have faced the challenges and responded with the tactical success of Joe Biden. And all of this was done with the majority of Republicans believing he is an illegitimate president. Joe Biden isn't flawless (Border progress/Afghan withdrawal/mediocre speaker/age) and has his share of mistakes, gaffes, and missteps, but over the entirety of his administration he has delivered historic results within an era of historic challenges. He is owed some respect, even if he doesn't get your vote. Post inspiration: Just Say It, Democrats: Biden Has Been a Great President Challenges: An insurrectionist predecessor who tried a coup and refused to participate in a peaceful transition of power for the first time in the history of our country A worldwide once in a century pandemic that killed millions and disrupted the economy, lives, and culture of the country A divided populace inflamed by social media culture warriors lacking perspective or nuance An aggressive Russian dictator, the mortal enemy of democracy, freedom, and peace invading neighbors pushing to the edge of NATO A Middle East teetering on war as a result of a savage terrorist attack Achievements: Economic turnaround that includes Stock market highs rolling toward 40,000 Unemployment lows consistently in the 3%s Record employment participation by 25-54 year olds Record wages outpacing inflation from pre-covid levels High wage growth rates in the lowest tier wages Record small business start ups Deficit levels reduced in half from Trump's covid levels and back to 2012 levels as a percent of GDP Reigned in post-covid inflation to target levels now at 3% for last 12 months Bipartisan legislation Historic $1.2T Infrastructure bill Tech manufacturing growth via CHIPS bill Prescription drug cost reductions with Inflation Reduction Act including $35 insulin caps Only progress made on gun safety in decades with Safer Communities Act Energy Independence Record Solar and Wind output with future investments accounting for all of incremental power growth in US $7B solar power project Record Oil production Record Oil exports Inflation adjusted gas prices lower than any year since 1974 - compared to 2020 adjusted gas is now only $2.24 based on wages Safety & Culture At historic lows in violent crimes in US Fewer combat deaths than any president since Jimmy Carter Strengthened allied relationships and an expanded NATO Historic levels of people with health insurance Low leadership turnover, leading to stability Zero scandals, leading with ethics Civility and grace, every day Wonderfully boring and steady governing
The soft landing we had was a work of art. Everyone was saying we were headed into recession, and instead we just kept on growing.
I hope responses discuss specifics, the real pros and cons, rather than just generic anti-Biden, anti-trump stuff meanwhile, what does this mean, That except for inflation, gas prices would be lower?
Don’t hold your breath on that my friend. I think we both know where this one is headed. I would really like to have a camera on citygator where we could watch him laughing his ass off after he lobs one of these into the ring.
That really was a fine job of making the case for President Biden. You're going to get the snide remarks (#5), and the funny, come on man, and disagree, but I wonder how many have the chops to formulate as strong a counter argument in favor of Trump. If they can't formulate a coherent argument for Trump, why vote for him?
I ride thousands of miles a year. I wipe out frequently. If I don’t wipe out occasionally I’m not going hard enough. At 80+ Biden has been seen riding 20 miles at a time which is pretty damn good for someone 80+ without a hard core biking background. Meanwhile your lard ass boy’s gaping rectum is so large it would engulf a bike seat. He can’t ride a bike 100 feet let alone 20 miles. I betyou can’t either.
I wreck at least once a month on my mtb. Sometimes on black diamond stuff, sometimes at the most embarrassing times (dropping seat as I'm coasting to my car to finish a ride). The poster you are responding to and people like Trump won't understand that. You don't fall much wolfing down kfc in front of the tv.
At least there were some cherries to pick from, right? I'd love to see you put together something similar for your boy Trump. We could all use a good laugh. Be sure to include having Mexico pay for the wall, his Obama Care replacement, and his infrastructure legislation. To be fair, he did get COVID vaccines pushed through very quickly which helps to offset his major failings with respect to the pandemic.
I didn’t expect this tripe coming from you. Why would you make so many assumptions about a stranger? That says a lot about your personality. No need for me to boast on a message board to strangers really. I’m not a body builder but no doubt I can ride a freakin bike all day and night if needed. It’s not that special of a talent. Do better my friend.
