        He didn’t.

        All it takes is a look at presidential approval ratings.

        GWB: L25 H90

        Trump: L34 H49

        Biden: L36 H57

        Clinton: L37 H73

        Obama: L38 H69

        It’s pretty clear Trump has the lowest margin of approval ratings at 15 points difference to Biden’s 21. However, Dubya has the honor of lowest approval rating amongst living presidents.

        These people are trying to rewrite history.

          Great point. The Gallup poll was performed shortly after Trump’s inauguration as well. Bias may have been the point.

      Yeah, but half of the country has abused spouse syndrome with trump. While the nicest things most progressive people have to say about Biden is that he wasn’t Trump.

      Republicans love trump.

      Only centrists love biden.

      Trump has the support of most of a party.

      Biden has the support of the shitty half of a party.

      But his political base likes him. Biden was hated by republicans, and anyone that didn’t want to commit genocide.

        This is basically why Democratic politicians are less popular than Republican ones. A Republican president will be liked by 90%+ of his party and nearly no Democrats. A Democratic president is liked by half of his party and called a genocide supporter by the other half, and supported by nearly no Republicans.

          Only the ones that back genocide.

          It’s pretty easy to not be called a genocide supporter. Don’t support genocide.

    Biden is a hubristic asshole and trump is his legacy. That said, he’s a better person than both trump and bush.

      trump is his legacy

      Trump is also the legacy of everyone who argued that Biden “had to be the nominee”, here, there and everywhere. Trump is the legacy of everyone who permitted Harris to go uncriticized for her DEEPLY unpopular stances on literally every policy position, because “being critical of her would help Trump”.

      This election did not need go the way it did.

        Centrists spent all their time “slamming” progressives and then lost to republicans that they barely put up a fight against and basically tried to immitate. But somehow they still think that its all the dirty progressives fault that they lost. They didnt lose to progressives. Progressives lost to them, and centrists lost to republicans. Thats Joe Bidens legacy. Its the pattern of his whole career.

    To everyone who insisted that Biden “had to be the nominee” in the 8 months of campaigning we had prior to him stepping down: Trump is a result of your actions.
