            I didnt live in America at the time… why does one need to have experienced a Pres to judge their quality? Do YOU remember Nixon? Jackson?

            Merrick Garland was a disaster, even the most generous interpretation of that decision makes that undebateable (less generous and more realistic is that Garland was always meant to stall the Trump investigation), and every “accomplishment” you can credit to Biden was made moot by that appointment. You do not get Trump 2 without Garland, and you do not get Garland without Biden

      Reagan, W. Bush, and Trump, and Biden is your pick for “2nd-worst”. Even if your definition of “modern” is laughably conservative and excludes Reagan, it can’t reasonably exclude W. Bush less than 20 years ago.

        Biden was a mastermind of destroying the middle east, he advocated for the balkanization of Iraq. He is the one who said if israel didn’t exist he would support creating one

      I guess it depends on what you consider modern history, but W was definitely worse than Biden. Biden was not good, but under W we got the patriot act, Abu Ghraib, disastrous increase in racism and xenophobia, no child left behind. The guy was incapable of even accidentally doing the right thing.

      If you don’t count W then there’s only 3 presidents in modern history, so taking 2nd isn’t that bad.
