Proxy war with Russia is a strategic boon for us, we’ve destroyed half their tanks and lost zero Americans. The amount of tax dollars going to Ukraine is equivalent to roughly 1% of the annual US budget. It’s an excellent return on investment. As for the border it’s whatever, I’m not convinced a) Biden is responsible and b) a surge in crossings is necessarily bad. Overall I think Biden is an above average President and unlike Trump, he is not a traitor to this country.

above average president is crazyyy

i guess it dont take much to be above average when the average president sucks

Not a controversial take. Lots of good legislation and handled the Ukraine situation masterfully

well he handling america's situation like s***, above average my ass

How so?

wym? Hes built more of "the wall" than trump has.

Misguided and misinformed at best.

Not really, sending boatloads of money to Ukraine is the biggest geopolitical no brainer imaginable

The more you realize the warmongers are the lobbyists and not the presidents the more you realize these arguments arent worth s***

Yes much better sending to Ukraine than aid here, or better yet pushing for peace talks.

This just isn't true, I'm sure that there's obviously some crooked Dems (obviously Pelosi and Clinton ring a bell) but largely Dems aren't outright fighting a fake culture war. Or trying to "erode sacred laws" (most Dems aren't even opposed to 2A). It's mostly fringe groups who make up a minority with a loud mouth.

Rather than the right which is becoming increasingly more and more extremist. 53% in general don't care if we live under a Christian theocracy. 22% of that 53% WANT that.

That goes against our founding fathers, entirely.

While I do agree with you that the Dems aren't as squeaky clean as they try to make themselves out to be, the right wing is generally just a danger at this point.

Biden's admin has no idea what they're doing. This policy is against international law. It DOES NOT matter how you arrived to a nations border. If you make it, you have the right to apply for asylum. It's a human right. One day it was "oh lets remove this policy" and the next day its "actually lets double down."

He's the same with refugee policies. No real clue on how to handle conflicts he's attributed to other than quick emergency responses with no long term plan. Humanitarian crisis after crisis.

I'm not saying this as an outsider. I literally work at a refugee resettlement agency and have been an eye witness alongside refugees/asylees on the BS they face here. It's been incredible to see how inefficient a country with such immense privilege can be

Look up the numbers. $60 billion doesn’t make a difference here one way or another, we spend trillions each year, we’re dealing with a marginal amount. Peace talks go better when bargaining from a position of strength.

Biden has no idea what he's doing because they're all out of touch and old as s***.

That's the biggest problem.

Cry about it

Real good faith discussion right here.

Can't afford to. People need help no matter what the s***ty policies are

Biden's team just tries to get him in the public eye and media coverage so he Looks like an effective leader while sweeping all the mismanagement under the rug

got Joe taking photoshoots in Ukraine instead of prioritizing what's going on in the US

I 100% agree with you about the Christian / religious right, it’s fine to have those values but to dictate them through policy etc. is wrong and scary. I think they absolutely deserve to lose elections based on the roe / pro life s***.

I think democrats are worse in different ways, as their tactics are frequently hidden or more calculated. I don’t really agree with you on that though. Biden actively wants to ban weapons, the left champions their censorship authority, and supports silencing those they disagree with. Journalists and media are largely in lockstep with them, and we rarely see any real criticism or push back against their authoritarian tactics.

Look no further than the demonization of Elon and his plans with Twitter. All he wanted to do was create a platform free of government and political control, where all voices can be heard. He was promptly demonized, and there were coordinated efforts by politicians, businesses, and people to try and kill twitter or bleed him dry. For believing that a president shouldn’t be wiped off the internet and people of opposing views should be allowed to talk on the same platform. This stuff is still going on with other platforms and it has only gotten worse.

I see it as a far worse and more pressing issue than ignorant Christian’s trying to push their views on people.

Arguably one of the most intelligent/innovative and forward thinking people in the world thinks it’s more pressing than anything he has worked his entire life on.

Bro used Elon Musk to back up his argument

We never gonna convince these Trump dudes not to be morons

I don’t think the US should be concerned with taking in more people when we can’t even take care of our own. All these other things that dems want to fight for mean nothing without secure borders.

Only since Biden got elected do people claim that a President involved in foreign affairs is neglecting America. Could it be that y’all just sympathize with Russia?

Being against a war and billions in aid when no efforts for peace have been made is not being pro Russia. If he was an effective leader getting good results in America, it wouldn’t matter what he was doing in Ukraine.

How about I use covid instead?

The authoritarian left tried to force people out of their jobs, off of social media platforms, and shame them for not getting a vaccine we now know is not effective. Discussion was silenced and censored, people were banned, and many were either forced to get it to keep their jobs or lose them. The EU and political left here tried to limit travel, rights, etc. based on all of this. For nothing.

And I’m sorry the media has fooled you into thinking spaceship man bad

He’s trying to do more for humanity than almost anyone else alive.
