OOOOOOHHH
All of a sudden it makes perfect sense why the news is freaking out so hard
It’s a fucking CATASTROPHE that Biden could be tied dead even with someone as objectively horrifying as Trump
I can only imagine what dizzying height he must have fallen from down to 39/39 after that shit show of the debate, like something approaching what would make sense for someone who improved wages for working people, spent a trillion dollars on climate change, finally did good things for the American people for the first time since the ACA if we’re being kind and since Lyndon Johnson if we’re not, and running against a literal pants shitting moron who openly wants to destroy America
Honestly the sheer unequivocal redundant nature of the reason why he is better makes it ironically a little harder to argue for
You can say “a bucket of ranch dressing would be better than Trump; I would vote for the bucket even in that case and honestly DGAF that Biden is old and neither does most of the reality based community” and they say “yeah but Biden made inflation happen”
And you say “Biden increased working class wages by 32% in current dollars; yes 20% cumulative inflation ate up part of the gains, but (a) that wasn’t his fault (b) people still wound up ahead” and they say “yeah but he bombed Gaza”
And you say, etc etc, it can continue. The reasons why he is better are so extensive and numerous that it gives space for people to Gish-gallop their way around within them and make it look like there’s some kind of uncertainty
my argument is this first term of the biden administration has been the best of my lifetime. not that trump is worse. I feel so much that people compare trump to biden but compare biden to some fictional ideal of a president we have never ever had.
