2024

The polls said Trump would lose to Hillary.

Couldn't tell ya if he's done bad or good

He's also still working and cleaning up past 4 years

I'd like to see age and term limits imposed to all elected officials

If ya can't run to be president til 35, shouldn't be able to run to be president if you're over 65

Meh. Pollsters have been increasingly wrong. They predicted a Clinton win. They predicted a big red wave in '22. In an age where most everyone has a cellphone polling neglects the opinions of those without a landline. Polls aren't the predictors they once were.

Curious. Who would you suggest instead of Biden that a) is currently running in '24 and not waiting until '28, and b) also is shown in reliable and current polls to be polling ahead of Trump?

If you're going to use polling to judge electability, I don't see why Williamson should be expected to beat Trump if she can't even beat Biden in the polls. fivethirtyeight today has Biden at 71.4%, Williamson at 6.1%, and Phillips at 2.9%. Blaming lack of media coverage, the Dem party, or anything else is irrelevant because it's all hypothetical - Williamson could beat Biden IF the media gave her more attention, IF the Dem party didn't cancel primaries in state X, IF if if... If you point to the real polling numbers showing Biden losing to Trump than you'd have to use the same standard and use the real polling numbers which show Biden trouncing Williams and Phillips.

You go with your best chance, and Williamson/Phillips/West ain't the best chance the Dems have to beat Trump. The Newsom and Whtimer level of candidates might be beating Trump in current polls (I have no idea if pollsters are even asking about a potential Trump v Newsom/Whitmer/et. al. at this point) but have made it clear they're not running in '24 so whether they (could) poll better than Trump doesn't matter. So who meets the criteria of running in '24 with current polling that shows them beating Trump?

The only way Biden isn't the nominee (barring extreme sickness or death) is if he voluntarily steps down sometime between now and the primaries (at best) or before the convention - pretty unlikely or he would have done so by now  for the good of the party to give others a shot. Anything else at this point is just angst and hand wringing and complaining based on purely hypothetical matchups. You play the cards you're dealt, not the cards you think you should've been dealt.

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Tha cares act was pandemic legislation. The pandemic is over and your opinion on the political intelligence of it is pretty subjective.
If by "means to do it" do you mean had a bill on his desk ready to sign? Because the the president doesn't control what legislation gets passed. Providing defense resources to US allies who are under threat shouldn't really be up for debate. Biden is not in charge of Israeli military operations and is exercising all the diplomatic leverage he can to encourage restraint and create a path for peace and reconstruction.

The cares act thing is unfortunate, but honestly I don't think it was politically stupid I think it was politically not an option.

He could have extended the care act again or moved to make parts of it permanent. He chose to let it expire as if everyone was going to be fine. Having something taken away hurts worse than not getting something in he first place. This negatively affected people's lives in a way that did not go unnoticed.
They had the votes to raise the minimum wage, all it would have taken was to put in a friendly parliamentarian just like the republicans did when they were in power and Kamala Harris would have been able to make the final decision and pass it, boom. They CHOSE not to do that in spite of it being a major campaign promise. That's some bullshit. Biden never wanted it.
And you can chose or not chose to call what's going on in Gaza right now a genocide but 92% of the people being killed are innocent civilians. 11,000 children have been killed. It's insane.

You keep saying he let all things things happen like he proposed them in bad faith and I just don't believe that.

Name at least one specific "someone" other than Biden where polls (again, specific polls) are saying "someone" will beat Trump and that has already announced they are running in '24 or have a willingness to enter this years race at such a late date.

Just because polls are showing that Biden is loosing to Trump doesn't mean that candidate "someone" will therefore beat Trump or even poll better against Trump than Biden is. You put up your best chance to win even if polls say that best chance looks like they'll lose at this point in time. If you can show me polling that shows either West/Williamson/Phillips or anyone else currently/potentially (even at this late date) running for the Dem nomination beating Trump I will share in your displeasure, but I'm not going to get all upset about polling showing a hypothetical unnamed generic "someone" who's not even running beating Trump since that "someone" isn't even running.

It's a shame that Biden didn't announce he was stepping down to make room for the next generation of Dem leadership and instead announced he was running for reelection, but that's the reality American voters are going to have to accept. Like a lot of people, I'd of rather him step down and see a healthy competition this Spring among better candidates than what we have now, but that's not what happened. People will either vote in their own best interest with hopes for a better Dem candidate in '28, they'll vote for Trump or another candidate, or they won't bother voting at all. But like it or not (I don't like it), barring something major, Biden's the candidate. The "anybody but Biden for the Dem nominee" ship left the dock the day he announced.
