    Yes, the Biden presidency has been blissfully “boring”. I might have hoped for better, but I’ll settle for stagnant compared to 2016-2020.

      Boring? We are involved in two major regional wars with constant threat of escalation, global economic chaos, and the highest inflation in a generation. Fallout from a pandemic, the feds have been raising interest rates to the point the whole economy is fundamentally changing.

      We are living through historic times. I feel like the world hasn’t been normal or “boring” since Dec 2019

        All reasons why we need solid leadership. I’d take a 3rd candidate, but if its going to boil down to Trump v Biden, then its an easy Biden pick.

          i think there’s no scenario where biden wins this upcoming election

          the situation with israel/iran is gonna kill him. he enters the war in force, he loses election because he’s starting another war in the middle east. he does nothing, and he loses because he appears weak.

          he just had a press conference because the special counsel released a report saying he was mishandling classified documents just like trump. the report stated one of the reasons he’s not getting prosecuted is “he’s a well intentioned old man with a bad memory”

          i guarantee that’s going to be on attack ads all over come election time

          look at the republican primary in nevada. trump got removed from the ballot - so he told his supporters not go out and vote because it didn’t matter.

          so who won the primary? the options were nikki haley, tim scott, and mike pence. Haley got about 30%… but the winner with 63% was “none of the above”

          even when trump isn’t on the ballot, even when he tells his supporters not go out and vote… he still dominates.

          if you look at the polls- https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/

          trump is winning nearly every general election poll vs biden

          i feel like the democrats are sleepwalking into a trump victory by rallying behind biden

          only chance is some sort of legal action taking trump out of the race (which i find unlikely at this point) OR trump has a stroke or something

            There’s too much good fodder for attack ads. Remember how he said he wouldn’t seek reelection?

        • Most important election of our lives, fighting for the sake of our democracy, literally everyone from Russia to China to Saudi Arabia is out to get us so we have to stick together, don’t you care about climate change, don’t you care about immigration reform, don’t you care about student debts and health care?!!!

        • Actually, the last four years have been incredibly normal. What are you even complaining about?

        Can’t believe it is both the Best of Times AND the Worst of Times. Crazy.
