Hello another guy without valid arguments :)

I'll take the bait though, after what time an account is old enough to be credible in your opinion?

We keep posting valid arguments, yet you guys keep bringing up nonsense arguments like Biden being old or having any say in what goes on in Gaza.

Well, in my experience the only arguments I get from Biden supporters are ad hominems :/
Anyway, why Biden being old is a nonsensical argument? Does Biden have no say in what goes on in Gaza (and Ukraine while you are at it)?

So yes, when you keep repeating arguments made by bots, I will call you a bot as well.

That does not seem effective though.. If somebody (or something, if you think it is a bot) repetitively says something that is not true, don't you think that preparing a counter-argument and sharing that instead of "Russian bot" would be more useful and make more people "see the truth"? :)

Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku on how much you love Russia.

I'm not really a creative person, so I've asked duckduckgo's AI, it came up with this ;)

In the land of snow,
Russia's beauty steals my heart,
Love forever grows.

Dunno if this haiku is good though 🤷‍♂️

Wow, all those words to ignore the most important point if Trump is the existential threat that the DNC says he is.

BIDEN CAN'T WIN.

Now, I actually do believe that Trump is that level of a threat, even if the DNC doesn't. So I want ANYONE but Biden to be Democratic Nominee. But he isn't, yet. We still have time to pick someone to beat Trump.

Many of those have nothing to do with Biden's performance (this covers almost half):

• job growth etc - this is just the pandemic "ending" and NCOV2019 becoming endemic, it has absolutely nothing to do with what Biden did
• American Rescue Plan - sure, and I'm pretty sure Trump would've done the same, given that he pushed for getting the vaccine available
• Americans are no longer deployed overseas - are we not counting Iraq and surrounding regions? Also, Trump initiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden's only real contribution here was to delay but still withdraw, but he did withdraw (that's a fantastic thing)

Then the "meh":

• judges confirmed - isn't that just... business as usual? When positions open, they need to be filled
• black women in Court of Appeals, LGBT/Native American in cabinet - okay? Assuming they were the best people for the job, it's not really something I'd reelect a president for
• climate investments - how effective have those investments been? I don't know the specifics, but 8 charging stations have been built; that's... not great

And the notable:

• infrastructure bill - I'm not super familiar with it, but I'm guessing a lot of the rest are related to this
• most Americans with health care - is this related to something he did? If so, that's cool.
• clean water - aside from random horror stories like Flint, MI, clean water really isn't something I think about

But the majority of those are legislative actions, not something the president does directly, other than sign bills into law. Here's what I do expect the president to do:

• diplomacy - diplomacy with Hamas and Israel, Ukraine and Russia, Iran, and China has been pretty bad; we're closer than ever to war with China and Iran
• balance the budget - yes, the president doesn't control what Congress authorizes, but the executive branch has a lot of say in what that budget ought to be; the deficit is still massive, and I haven't seen a lot of evidence of cuts (2023 was higher than 2022), and borrowing rates are quite high
• pardons - resolving Julian Assange's legal issues was a good start, but what about Edward Snowden? Ross Ulbricht?

Trump is, perhaps, worse on the above (though he promised to free Ross Ulbricht), but that doesn't make Biden good. And Biden being older and less capable means he'll probably have a harder time doing the first two.

Biden is... mediocre at best, he doesn't really excite anyone. Trump is different, so maybe he's appealing to undecided voters, idk. For me, I live in a state that's essentially fixed on who will win here, so I'll be voting third party because I think that's the most valuable use of my vote.

Sounds like Biden is likely to resign this weekend. I guess the entirety of the Democratic party is russian bots, right?

You might want to think through the thought process that lead you to be so wrong about what was happening, and why you ended up being a follower while the people you were following were deciding to go in the opposite direction.

And no one is disputing his accomplishments either (okay, that one poster is but…), we are disputing his ability to win against Trump.
