Just keep repeating, Biden may not be the best, but his administration has been fantastic!

In comparison to the other party... Not just Biden you are voting for the administration. Supreme court justices Which affect everyday life!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

Exactly this. So the party doesn't do what I would personally prefer. I still prefer whatever the fuck they're doing over outright fascism.

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He knows how to delegate to people who are smarter than him. He also knows the importance of 'tone at the top' in getting the best out of his team. This is what makes him the better candidate.

I'd say it's been good, not great.

This is when “meets expectations” looks great after so much bad behavior. It’s ok to appreciate something good.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 3 months ago

Biden exceeded my expectations. My expectations were low, but he did exceed them.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Especially when it's dramatically better than the alternative.

Good domestic policy. Bad foreign policy. Or have we all collectively forgot about the wars?

Edit: You all were very loudly criticizing Biden on Israel a few weeks ago, but fine, I guess Lemmy has moved on.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

have we all collectively forgot about the wars?

The wars that he didn't start? The wars that the aggressors are ignoring what Biden demands?

The ones where Trump is buddy-buddy with those ordering war crimes?

Those wars?

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Israel in particular, yes. Before the debate everyone was criticizing Biden for continuing to financially support a genocide.

But I guess nobody cares about Palestine now.

[–] Count042@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 months ago

Bidens state department has been horrific, as well as his defense department.
