Inflation roaring, stock market tanking, crime is up (though not as high as 1980 if that makes you happy), gas prices soaring, all going right into the midterms. I still don't see a big red wave happening though, at best a tiny shift to the right.

Sure if your definition of the world community is totalitarian governments that want the guy who loved them back.
It’s like asking why didn't Putin invade Ukraine under Trump? Because the criminal doesn't mug the old lady when he's got her on the verge of signing her entire estate over to him.

Well, I didn't hear anyone say that Biden would improve our standing, except among OPEC. People like you said the world would like us more. If the countries that like us more are the ones not in a position to help us, I'm not sure what that's worth.

Obama got elected, because the subprime mortgage crisis happened on Bush's watch. It wasn't Bush's fault obviously, Bush didn't tell people to buy more homes than they could afford, Bush didn't tell banks to bundle crappy mortgages into fishy investments. But it happened on his watch, and every democrat in the country said it was his fault. And it worked.

Biden similarly owns inflation, gas prices, stock market correction, border mess, surging crime. None of those things are entirely his fault, some are probably very very little his doing. But they are all his problem, as the subprime mortgage crisis was Bush's.

Politics is a rough sport.

What the left has, is Trump and abortion, and some laughably weak GOP candidates like Herschel Walker. And very low unemployment. And those are valuable things to have. But probably not enough to prevent the GOP from taking the house by a handful of seats, the senate probably isn't going to move more than a set or 2 in either direction. Who knows what happens at the state level, where the GOP has had a majority for a few years.

But after what happened on Wall Street today, I feel like I know less than nothing.

If you want to convince anyone that my life is better today than 2 years ago because world leaders like Biden more than Trump, then yes, you have to go on. Because most of the tangible evidence seems to suggest that life is a lot harder today than 2 years ago.

World wide too, that damn Biden.

Last time I checked, covid was world-wide, but you all blamed Trump.

I know, I tell my little kids all the time, it's frustrating when your opponents take your own very tactics and spit them right back into your face at a later date, but what's good for the goose...

Is illegal immigration skyrocketing worldwide?

I've said 100 times, it's nowhere near true to say this is all Biden's fault. But it's all his problem.

I've said 100 times, it's nowhere near true to say this is all Biden's fault. But it's all his problem.

Excess death rates from COVID were 153% higher among Republicans than Democrats in Florida and Ohio AFTER THE VACCINE WAS READILY AVAILABLE. Republicans literally killed off tens of thousands of their own voters to “own the libs.”

The ones that are left are claiming to be victimized by Biden.

There are now 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world—more than at any time in modern history. These are people who have fled extreme dangers, whether to escape relentless bombing, an invading army, gang violence, or other life-threatening circumstances.

It's amazing how the U.S., and only the U.S., is dealing with inflation right now.

No other country. Just us. The rest of the world is not struggling with this same thing.

I asked a fair question, and you dodged it completely and lobbed a few insults, the hallmark of a little man on the losing end of an argument but who can't admit anyone else might have a point.

There aren't many tangible statistics you can point to right now, to suggest life is easier than it was during the previous administration. I didn't even mention drugs, overdoses, suicides, etc. So if making the world like us more didn't help with any of that, I'm not sure it's something to brag about.

Why is Trump STILL polling well in a potential rematch against Biden? Answer - life was easier and more prosperous when Trump was POTUS. I don't say that because I like Trump. I say that because it's obviously true.

"our standing in the world has improved greatly with everyone to include our allies under Biden"

Well, it's being reported that the Biden administration asked the Saudis to wait until after the midterms to cut production, and they told us to go kick rocks. So again, where's the evidence that our improved standing in the world, is making life better for Americans?
