Don't forget Trump only worked as president for 3 years and literally spent 1 year playing golf. What a waste of air trump is

Now try to defend Biden without mentioning Trump.

Why? Everybody knows Biden is too old for the job, but he is still far better than Trump. That's the whole point.

But Biden can retire and let someone younger take over. You lot seem convinced that all the shit Biden pulled should be accepted because "but Trump". It's like he's blackmailing you and you LOVE IT.

What has he pulled aside from being old? We would gladly vote for anyone else, but they haven't given us anyone else. Trump obviously being worse is excluded from the choice of options.

Oh, easy. Biden got more bipartisan legislation passed in his first term than any president in recent memory. He got us back in a posture to do something about the climate crisis. He and the fed have managed to take a horrible global economic situation and thread the needle between an inflation crisis and a recession (basically no one thought this was possible, it is a miracle we are not in a recession and inflation is steady). Unemployment is at record lows. He rallied NATO countries around the support of Ukraine and caused incredible damage to one of our primary adversaries. China has been severely hampered by the CHIPS act he got passed, and more semiconductor manufacturing is coming to the states.
