I voted for Biden. Trump was thrashing around, and unable to deal with the virus. That was my driving factor. I'm a moderate Republican, but have voted for many Ds in the past, locally and nationally.

Biden is an absolute buffoon. I'm 36 - this country is in the worst shape I've seen it in, ever, and that goes back to the 2007 housing crackup and the Great Recession. Other than vaccine advocacy, I'm disappointed basically on all fronts.

I'm not thrilled with Trump maybe running again. He's too old. I'd vote for DeSantis in a heartbeat over Biden. The Democrats need to nominate insightful, culturally palatable, truly "a step ahead" candidates like Andrew Yang. I'd vote for Yang over DeSantis.

Biden, Harris, Buttigieg, anyone in the political establishment, or anyone too far left won't get my vote.

is politics really that important? to our daily life?
For most people,we get up in the morning,go to the kitchen make our coffee,start or drive to work,come home and fix dinner,relax infront of TV and then turn in.
You get your bi weekly paycheck,pay your bills,fill your stomach,thats all it matters,whether it is left or right,black or white,it is not worth spending so much time following,debating politics .
think,I have been thru enough presidents,dem or republican,JFK,Johnson,Ford,Nixon,Carter,Bush,Clin ton,Bush,Obama,Trump and now Biden?
I CANt think of anything which any of them did which make my life any different ,I still have to pay my taxes,balance my checkbook and shop for staples.
I cant possibly think of any that makes a big difference in my life,if you can think of one,let me know.

You work four months a year to pay your federal taxes. Maybe you should start paying attention.

Don't you think the party who controls everything should correct the situation?

Why don't you ever hold Democrats accountable for anything, especially when they control everything?

All those things you mentioned now cost a LOT MORE under Biden. That's why it matters and that's how they make a difference in people's lives.

Dumb Americans (at least the Leftist ones) loved how socialism sounded on paper but now that they get a little taste of what it’s like, they don’t like it.

We told them this would happen. Why do some people have to learn the hard way?

Ultimately Biden was always a bridge to something else. Even if he did a great job he's too old. Reality is he's been OK at best with many badly handled situations. He vanishes for months at a time due to old age. Afghan pullout - while the right decision - was a PR disaster and he doubled down and blamed the Afghans. That's when he started to tank in polls. Economic is mixed bag. Best job market in 50+ years for the worst entry level workers but inflation is also worst in 50+ years and thus it's worse for the other 80% of people. Sometimes Biden moves back to the middle (repudiating defund police) while at other times let far left have free reign. Trump and Obama always had a core 40% base that loved them. No one loves Biden.

I didn't vote for anyone in 2020 even though I'm very anti Trump. American politics have become increasingly dysfunctional and I'm doubtful either party can solve our problems unless major changes are made to the political process. I rather spend my time making more money to recession proof myself than worry about who is in the White House.

Who are the 17% that still approve of this bum?
Welfare dependents and wealthy (so called) intellectual elites. (The top and bottom)
