Why is Biden so unpopular

editorial article of the day, right here.

"How could Biden be so unpopular after all we done for him?"

https://issuesinsights.com/2023/07/24/media-cant-understand-why-biden-is-so-unpopular-after-everything-theyve-done-for-him/

QuoteWhat's the problem, they ask? Is it just that the country is in a sour mood? Are people being misinformed? Is it somehow Trump's fault? Is it because of ageism? Or climate change?

Of course, the real reason that media outlets are confused is because they've spent the past three years doing everything possible to make Biden more popular.

The real question they are asking with these endless articles isn't "Why is Biden so unpopular?" It is "How is it that, with all our power and might, we haven't been able to make Biden a more popular president?"

you can dress it in pretty clothes and put lipstick on it,
but a turd is still a turd.

I don't think Maduro, Stalin, Moa or Pol Pot were all that popular either, and they got good press too.

QuoteSo we wonder: "Why is Biden more popular than he deserves to be?" But journalists can't ask that question because they know what the answer would be

So much THIS ^^^^^

Give me good press or I will eliminate your bloodline

Falling asleep in meetings and shitting himself in public on a regular basis may have something to do with the declining popularity thing.

Although I was talking to a relative the other day and she told me she knows several people who intend to vote for Biden again... :smdh:

He is too old period, he was already too old when he ran and if there had been a sober, mature, centrist candidate running for the Democrats Biden would just be a post it note in history.

Of course Trump is too old too.

Trump is getting on in age, that's true.

However, unlike Biden, he can carry on a conversation on any subject at any time without notes or a teleprompter.

His mental acuity is far superior to Biden's in every way it can possibly be measured.

The same could be said for a potato

The name of this thread should be: "Why is Biden so unpopular with Trumpers?"

When you leave the world of right wing media, which most of you never do, you'll find that's not really true.

Jim at Gentex · July 25, 2023, 05:57 AM

Oh, so Biden falling asleep in meetings and shitting himself isn't true, or him being unpopular isn't true?

Funny how you always insist the right wing is biased as you view everything through your rose colored glasses.

Here's a non-right wing media source on Biden's approval numbers...

Actually, it is true, however, the MSM is not telling you the truth

All presidents have approval ratings.

Do you even understand that you're AT LEAST as biased as I am?

You keep tossing that out there like you think you're pretty middle of the road.

I bet that if this bribery scandal ends up having teeth, Biden will start walking with a cane, like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby did.

Ummmmm...no.
I have never claimed middle of the road status.
Yes, we are all biased.

You claim only right wing media sources say that Biden's approval numbers are terrible, but THAT is not true.
His numbers suck across the board for a reason, and that reason is that he is and has been a train wreck from day one.

If you can still vote for him in good conscience, go right ahead.
But I think this time around, those who voted for him simply because he was not Trump have gotten a good idea of what they settled for, and many people don't like it.
(Hence the shitty approval ratings across the board.)
