Well, we know that Joe isn't a moderate. He used to be but he sold his soul to the leftists.

    As far as crime - I'd really have to see where these numbers fall before and after Floyd and how much of this is related to the pandemic and isolation / etc. as we locked down and reopened.
    I would agree that the pandemic is a cause for some of the crime increase, which impacts Trump and Biden. But blaming Biden for it didn't make any sense, which is why I pointed out when the increase took place.

    Definitely - the way that trump conducted himself was embarrassing and one of the reasons he lost. The president of the United States represents all of us. If somebody conducts themselves in a defensive, childish way, with divisive, dishonest and unintelligent speeches, that could cause some people to not vote for him, so I actually agree with you here.

    Blaming Biden in the sense that it is his side that doubled down on defunding the police, non-charging for certain offenses, eliminating cash bail, etc.

    But the result of this hasn't been as bad as the crime increase we saw in 2020. So I understand where you are coming from, but the results are in the numbers.

    I don't know. I'd have to do a deep dive into the numbers; and I don't have the time nor inclination.

    Fair enough. We could always come back to debate the "why", but the numbers are there and obviously blaming Joe Biden for higher crime doesn't make a ton of sense, given that it was already rising drastically (for whatever reason), that was my only point for picking on that one.

    LOL COMRAD now-what? You will be noted in the future for your towing the line.

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bid...infrastructure Yeah he's doin great NOW-WHAT lol Nearly half of voters say Biden worse president than expected, most don't want to see him run again: poll

    Biden's approval rating in a new poll is in line with where Trump was 4 years ago, but his disapproval numbers are far worse

    That’s fine - unlike your ilk, I have zero problem holding people I vote for accountable. I hope you do take note and learn from it.

    Didn't you have another thread on this?? I heard Biden got polled at 38% approval 59% disapproval in the last day or so.

    People are talking like Biden has this horrific approval rating. But he is actually higher than Trump was at this point in his presidency. Maybe interesting to the Trump Fan Boys that their hero isn't as loved as they thought?
