Current Events > Why are so many Americans so unhappy with Joe Biden?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought a record number of people voted for him during the election?

Now it seems even the people who voted and campaigned for him are unhappy with him

They wanted some one like Bernie they got trump lite

---

Something something killing Afghan civilians/botching the military exit of Afghanistan.

---

People didn't really vote for Biden, they voted against Trump

I may not like Biden, but he's at least a hundred times better than Trump

Hes been fucking up royally a lot is why.

Just by not shit tweeting every min he is better

Which was negotiated by trump.

Republicans don't like him because he's a leftist liberal commie

Leftists don't like him because he's basically a Republican

Moderates don't like him because they never like whoever is in power

Exactly. In a vacuum, Biden is a pretty meh president

It's just that Trump was so much more of a shit president that people voted his fat ass out

His poll numbers will only increase through legislative victories, something Trump has never experienced. Just with the infrastructure bill, he's accomplished more in less than a year than Trump did in four.

Partly because of the media "both sides"ing everything.

Partly because Republicans, Manchin, and Sinema are blocking/delaying some of Biden's biggest proposals.

Partly because Biden walked back some of his stuff, separate from the above.

Partly because many voted less for Biden and more against Trump.

Partly because the left and liberals are more about politicians' policy and less about the politician personally when compared with the right.

Things like that.

Pretty much this, Murica needs more parties and less corporate donors

Its funny too because Trump ran on things that he didnt do and when Biden does them the GOP pretends the sky is falling.

2015 Trump: I will get us out of the waste of money that is the war on Afghanistan. Never happened. Biden does it in the first year.

2015 Trump: I will make America great again by passing an infrastructure bill to fix roads. Never happened. Biden does it in the first year.

2019 Trump: American people need trillions of dollars in stimulus money to keep making America great during this pandemic. Trump did to twice. Biden does it once and its communism and the cause of inflation.

The entire time people were voting to vote Trump out. Lesser of two evils sort of thing. Very grim.

Nobody ever accused conservatives of being genuine.

Let's go Biden!

Am I doing it right?

because he's not a meme material.

No one was ever enthusiastic about Biden

He was forced on the public as an establishment Dem. Bernie Sanders should have been the nominee, but some collusion or shall we say last minute pull outs of the primaries by other establishment Dems basically rigged the system in Bidens favor.

Biden, quite frankly, is not a man with any sort of belief system. He's a career moderate who just always tries to float in the middle of whatever is in the political air. He does and says things to get elected. Basically, just a career politician.

Also, Kamala Harris was a god awful VP pick and she has approval ratings on par with Dick Cheney and it hasnt even been a year for her while Cheney had two full terms to accomplish abysmal approval ratings.

Biden can't run again with Harris as his VP. I mean, health wise, he might not be able to run again period.

There is also barely above a 0% chance that Harris could experience even a very modest amount of success if she were to try to run in 2024.

Basically, for four years, Democrats rightfully complained endlessly about how awful Trump and Republicans were and they best they could do in four years was Biden and Harris. Things are not at all looking better in 2024.

I hate to say it, bit Ron DeSantis is the odds on favorite to win the 2024 election.

Personally my vote was more against Trump. Specifically with how he handled COVID. Nearly everything he did proved he values dollars over people. I realize that is likely a majority of politicians, but I need my president to at least pretend to care about his people.

---

Actually, many people are happy with Biden and are glad he won the election.

Keep in mind that polls are from like 100 people. You shouldn't take them seriously regardless of what they say.

---

Hes boring. Americans want to be entertained.

This.

Biden is still lousy, but compared to Trump, it's a breath of fresh air.

Hes not very active/visible, does little, and seems to think the appearance of normalcy is more important than improving lives. He promised to do a lot via executive action that he simply hasnt done and has shown no signs of even considering doing. Hes a poor president in a really boring, banal way and his fresh-faced 50-something VP is a black hole in terms of charisma.

because neoliberalism is not popular and its only selling point the past couple general elections has been "it's not trump"
