The difference is Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty while trumps is due to EXTREME certainty that he’s a piece of garbage
Biden unpopularity is due to uncertainty
Which I don’t understand. I’m certain Biden won’t institute project 2025 so the choice should be obvious.
Worst case scenario for Biden is he’s mostly absent and his cabinet has to guide him through policies making the Democratic party mostly in control.
Which is pretty much exactly what Trump’s first term was adding in a lot of grift and pointless spite.
But that’s almost exactly what the president is supposed to do. Like forget Bidens mental state right now, just talking about any president, one of the main reasons aside from their “vision” we vote for them is for their ability to judge individuals capabilities or to have the capability of knowing how to find those people. The administration should ideally be made up of experts in their respective areas that will guide the president. He just makes the final call as to whether to listen or not, we shouldn’t expect him to know everything and to be able to work without “the administration.”
It’s one of the main reasons I loath Trump. I hate him as a person, but as a president I hate that he wants “yes men.” He doesn’t want guidance, he wants subservience to follow his will. That’s one of the bigger problems with project 2025 as well, their purity tests and seeking of more “yes men” will cripple the government as they aren’t lead by anything other than orders from above.
All that said, Biden does have to comprehend the guidance he’s being given. All we can see from Biden is how he operates behind a camera and on the spot. I don’t know if anyone has spoken about his capacity when he’s “working.” (Massive copium hit.)
If you narrow your scope to just the presidency maybe. The real worst case scenario is he completely fails to run an effective campaign and creates a huge red wave sweeping a big group of fascists into power.
Uncertainty my ass. Joe Biden is running on an excellent record. He is running on his policies.
Disclaimer this is very unlikely.
I have seen enough people grow older and senile and start acting totally out of character. People who I would have called progressive start supporting Trump because of old man brain.
Just depends what news channel they watch all day I know old people on both sides blindly taking in whatever fox/MSN/CNN tell them. Fox ones are consistently shittier but I’ve heard a few pretty bad takes coming out of the other ones too.
There’s nothing uncertain about Biden at this point. It’s a matter of being in denial or anger.
I think what they’re getting at is that we’re uncertain the extent age will affect his duties. Will his cabinet and other advisors be really “in control,” or will Biden insist on his way forcing others to kowtow. It is certain that the dude is old as hell and if it were he alone, he would be incapable of the job. Since there’s a staff and a ton of advisors, the degree of control they have is, well, uncertain.
It’s already clear that the extent is large and growing, whether it’s dementia or Parkinson’s doesn’t really matter. He’s effectively a puppet now, and it’s not going to get better. He has minor slip ups in the completely controlled environment they try to keep him in. It’s denial to pretend it won’t get worse, or it’s not actually that bad.
