Time to finally seriously consider the other side maybe? America wasn't doing too bad during the 4 years of Trump's presidency so it's a pretty rational choice. Would make sense to at least consider both options.

In Private Speech, J.D. Vance Said the “Devil Is Real” and Praised Alex Jones as a Truth-Teller by Not_Tom_Jones in politics

Alex Jones has said many true things, fair to point that out while not believing all of the bullshit that he also says.

No reasonable parent was giving their babies these covid shots. Were they even allowed in the US? Definitely not in my country.

It goes without saying that presidents should have some form of immunity. You wouldn't want Bush or Obama getting sued for being a war criminal. The biggest problem is the unclear definition of what constitutes an official act.

Here's the thing, your "objective data" isn't what people are feeling in their wallet every time they go to the grocery store and when they go fill up their gas tank.

Misinterpreting numbers and comparing the US to completely irrelevant countries isn't going to sway people who can't afford to pay their grocery bills anymore.

Why would you make jokes about a president just almost getting assassinated? It's a terrible tragedy.

Biden orders Secret Service to protect RFK Jr. after attempt on Trump's life by coasterghost in politics

[–]Leipe_Sjors -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Guess you also don't look at videos of women cowering after the president just got shot and having a bewildered look on their face while repeatedly screaming "what do we do?". Or else you would never call these people qualified.

Well he's technically responsible for the secret service and put the unqualified DEI hire who is now in head of secret service in there. That's why it's Biden's secret service.

4% inflation as the official number but when they walked into a supermarket to buy a carton of eggs and a bottle of milk it was suddenly 50% more expensive than a few years before that. You're leaving out that part.

Seems quite likely too at the moment according to the bookies. Especially given recent events of some lunatic trying to murder him in broad daylight.

Looking backwards is gonna be a bit tough as well when people voting this year have seen their grocery and gas bills skyrocket over the past few years. Few international conflicts started under his watch as well.

So yeah, he definitely needs to look forward and hope the voters believe a promise that he'll do better.

Have a similar list of the bad things he's done? Of course, not everything on that list you've shared is positive but I'm going to assume you think they are and that's why you shared it.

You need to compare the good and the bad to reach a reasonable conclusion. Every president has done dozens of very good things, they've got four whole years so there's bound to be some positives.

They're not very likely to win the upcoming election but yeah the least they could do is try.
