        There were at least two “Biden pooped themselves” incidents. One was the DDay memorial. The second was an audience with the pope.

          I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.

          What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.

            I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves.

            And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.

            Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you might be accepting of pants-shitter to make some of the most impactful decisions that will affect almost every person on the planet, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will. You don’t need to have standards.

            But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage our collective ability to actually get that person into office. It should be obvious to you now, that not enough other people wanted to elect a pants-shitter. And as a cohort, the Biden apologists, by insisting that everyone else lower their standards to that of a geriatric who was barely present, these people are saboteurs who kneecapped our ability to stop Trump.

            And since you have such low standards, I expect that you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency. We don’t need to work for your vote: you’ll vote for a pants-shitter. This is great because it lets us narrow down the field to candidates for people who do have some standards, for example, that they don’t want to vote for someone who is an advocate for genocide them as a people. Or who want police reform. Or any number of other issues. Literally any ones opinion should be weighted more highly, since, like you said, you’ll basically vote for anyone, even a barely walking, senile geriatric, who shits their pants on stage.

              That’s some impressively aggressive ableist language dripping throughout your comment. I assume your words come from anger and not thinking about perspectives other than the one that upsets you the most. Lots of people shit their pants, it wasn’t something that our last two presidents invented.

              Behold, a president who needed significant assistance, because he’d otherwise have shit his pants. And possessed the kind of personality I mentioned where he wouldn’t have made pointing out other people’s poopie pants his entire identity:

              FDR

      I’m waiting for the documents that show he’s sent hits on victims and threatened their family.

      And still no section 25.

      Still no impeachment.

      And still the MAGA mind churns.

      This motherfucker had ALL OF THESE EPSTEIN FILES and did NOTHING with them. NOTHING!!!

      He did absolutely nothing to punish the wealthy/powerful behind January 6th, he did nothing with the pedophile ring and just peaced out and gave the keys to fucking Nazis.

      He will forever be remembered as a complete failure. His legacy is Trump and letting our democracy get destroyed without any pushback.

        I’m not even talking about that. That crap was under seal by a (I think GOP appointed) judge. IIRC, there was fuck all Biden could legally do there.

        I’m talking about the open & shut espionage & sedition cases that the Biden DoJ had on Trump and completely squandered.

          He’s also guilty of enabling, and in some cases directly sending American armed forces to participate in, an internationally-recognized genocide.

          Biden’s name should literally never be able to be spoken without that fact being brought up.

    Boomers have overstayed their welcome. The spoiled generation took the greatest wealth ever seen, became spoiled by it, sqandered it, and left X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Alpha holding the bag (climate change, broken empire, insurmountable debt, political instability, unstable social safety net, etc.). They will not be missed.

    LOL, what kind of metric is that? Biden may be kinda milquetoast in pursuing criminals like Donvict, but things were actually really quite good under his presidency.

    A better metric is to say that Donvict is the worst president in history - he’s such a dirtbag and a greedy little shit that he may very well destroy this country. He’s that bad.

      He was pretty milquetoast, but he got saddled with the post-covid ‘wtf’ the economy went through with shortages and price hikes combined with impacts from Russia’s invasion…

      None of it reasonably Biden’s fault, but he got stuck with it happening on his watch so lot’s of people need to blame something vaguely controllable so they blame and vote against the president.

      Presidents are usually as likely to be defined by their circumstances as their actual actions or inactions.

      You forget how thoroughly demonized the democrats have been, both by opponents and even by supporters (deservedly in some cases). So just assume that when someone says “worse than Biden” just assume they’re centrist or nearly so, or just some selfish and short-sighted ass who found a leopard eating their face.

      Don’t forget that GWB is one of the people responsible for the post-911 over-reaction that allowed all of this to happen. Both ICE and DHS were created under Bush. Extra-judicial torture was justified under Bush.

      None of this would be possible without him.

        True, true. But I could argue there was someone even more responsible than Bush…

        In 1995, Biden introduced the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act, which contained proposals that were later recycled into the 2001 Patriot Act.

        He also helped write the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, which he argued was a precursor to the Patriot Act.

    18 point swing sounds great, but the ‘post-swing’ percentage is 51% thinking he’s doing a worse job than Biden, which isn’t actually all that encouraging, imo.

    Also, apparently the prior poll that’s the other side of the ‘swing’ is one that was taken just after he was inaugurated…isn’t that kind of a stupid time for a poll asking ‘do you think the President is doing a better or worse job than the last President’, just as he begins his term?

    Biden was fucking garbage - a corporate tool all too eager to sell us out to corporate rule and a servant of Israel without even needing to be blackmailed by the Trump-Epstein child rape operation. Hell, Biden wasn’t even mentally there half the time, his staff covered up his dementia riddled brain for the latter half of his term as he stumbled about shaking hands with invisible people on stage.

    And still, Trump is objectively worse by several orders of magnitude.

      Agreed, there is no need covering the story with “biden was actually very good”. The truth needs to be spoken, and the truth is that democrats are essentially centrists rather than leaning left.

      For change to occur a new party that is actually leftist should be appointed.

      The current system is basically composed of tiny changes made by democrats and huge changes made by conservatives - tilting the definition of “centrist” ever so slightly each day.

        Oh what I would do to be rid of FPTP and enjoy the ability to vote for anyone left of center in this country.

        You’re right, republicans have exploited the ratchet effect to drag the Overton Window clear off into the far right territory of full throated authoritarian rule, and democrats’ bold strategy of do nothing and see if the people’s suffering gets them more votes next time has utterly failed.

      We should be voting with guillotines. We should be giving “hanging chads” new meaning.

      The media is fully captured by the rightist ruling class, capturing the soap box and ballot box. They have packed the courts with traitorous loyalists, depriving us of the jury box. Only one box is left.

    I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?

    Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden

    But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points

    2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden

    2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)

    58-49 = 9 point swing?

      What you’re missing is that this is two opposing viewpoints in a zero-sum game. You’re in one bucket or the other.

      So going from 58 to 49 means that Trump looks 9 points worse, but also that Biden looks 9 points better. That’s an 18-point swing.
