I mean in terms of what he's actually achieved he probably the best president we've had in my lifetime, and considering his lack of control in the houses, that's pretty big.

So HR left us with just two choices, assured us they were the best of the best, and of course it's two geriatrics.
... one of whom is a rehire that tried to lynch us when we laid him off the first time. Good job HR, you wonder why people hate you.
Office politics sure do suck.
*someone who you'd already fired and then tried to blow up the building reapplied...
I just want to point out there's a third guy running and he's only got a mild case of brain worms.
Good idea, let's trick half of the Trump voters into voting for him instead so Biden has an easy win
There a multiple people running, the only third party candidate that is actually on the ballot in all 50 states (RFK is not on all 50 states ballots) Chase Oliver gets no airtime, the msm rather talk to you about brain worms then a practical candidate.
Yeah but Chase wants to completely get rid of all tariffs, so, I mean, some of his policies aren't the greatest. He's also got absolutely no idea how healthcare works, wants to completely abandon all our military bases, and he doesn't even mention global warming in his policies.
Guns? Great. Drugs? Great. Crime and punishment? Great. Privacy? Great.
But most of his power and economics policies would completely dog-fuck the US economy and our ability to negotiate on the international stage.

What a perfect analogy, now let's talk about why your company only opened up the application process to two ancient terrible people.

And had already been fired from said position...
Interviews are way too heavily weighted and the most subjective part of a job application. Go for the data.
Why are these the choices!?!?! lol
Because the democracy is a farce. The parties control their primary elections and can rig them however they want. The US legalized bribery with Citizens United and again last week with Snyder v. United States.

This whole crushing it narrative... Are we going to pretend like all working Americans aren't struggling?
Like sure Biden as corpse is better than Trump but he's not more likeable and he isn't doing a good job.
- $35 cap on Insulin
- Student loan cancellations
- Restoring net neutrality
- Banning non-compete agreements
- Pardoned people convicted for simple marijuana possession convictions
- Funding important infrastructure projects
- Banning abusive and junky bank fees
- Going after landlords who are price fixing
- Minimum 15% tax on corporations, who otherwise use every trick in the book to hide their profits in tax shelters overseas
- Rejoined the Paris Accord
- Antitrust actions against Amazon, Google, Apple, various airlines, book publishers, even meat packers
- Blocking mergers that would reduce competition, like Krogers acquiring Albertsons
- Reducing fees real estate agents collect for home sales
- Requiring airlines to refund passengers for delayed or canceled flights
- Automatically recognizing a union when a corporation interferes with a union vote
- Massive climate wins in the Inflation Reduction act
- Giving IRS funding so it can go after the rich tax cheats, instead of just the poor people who make small errors
- Allowing Medicare to actually negotiate drug prices, instead of being forced to accept whatever the drug companies decide
And, this is despite a senate where Sinema and Manchin supposely give democrats a razor slim majority, but in reality they block almost everything. And, despite a congress that is currently republican controlled and block even the things their constituents want because they don't want to let Biden have a win.
In what way (other than Gaza) is he not doing a good job?

Are we going to pretend that working Americans haven't been struggling since mid 1980 at the very least.

It's okay because trying to blow up the building was an official act. The guys he appointed decided so.
You probably wouldn't hire a convicted felon either, but here we are.

But when hiring for a job, you don't only have two choices you have an entire pool of candidates which you can vett.
This is like your recruiter telling you that they narrowed down all the candidates for you, you have no say in that process and you can pick between the two worst candidates.

What's the context for "were crushing it"?
Maybe they were talking about Gaza? He seems to be crushing them.
Doing very well
