Biden was never somebody the left was all that hyped up about to begin with, he is weak and commands no respect with the way he carries himself. That being said, he was the lesser of two evils like others have said. USA is much better off under Biden in practical terms than Trump although he has done very little to restore our international reputation as a laughing stock.

Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan

Because while you and your family are paying tons of more money than you did a couple of years ago just to live Biden is sending millions to kill children in Gaza. 

All while not being able to fulfill certain campaign promises to the extent people would like such as: Student loan forgiveness and inflation.

His administration has done some good things and I realize these are tough issues to address, but at the end of the day most people just focus on their daily lives. And when they see they can't afford to live, they aren't going to be happy with those in power.

I’ve been overall pretty happy with his presidency. He’s done a lot considering he could barely get any legislation through the Senate for his first two years due to Manchin, and the Supreme Court stands ready and raring to tear down any executive action that is perceived as overstep

Age.

He's just very old and comes off as somebody who's not in control of things. That's the #1 reason.

It has nothing to do with the other reasons being thrown around here.

And not people mentioning Gaza :enigma: as if the alternative that's gaining on Biden in polls isn't worse on this issue. If Biden is trying to contain the Israeli reaction, the alternative would literally join Israel in bombing the Palestinians. Biden's popularity issue has nothing to do with that. And if people are going to boycott democrats for it or whatever, well have fun with Trump then who'd be significantly worse on this issue. He's already talking about deporting anybody who shows support for Palestine.

At the end of the day the president can’t dictate how senators vote. Both Biden and Senate democrats put extraordinary amounts of pressure on Manchin and Sienna to try and get good bills through. Yell at the American public for not voting in more democratic senators (and for not getting more liberal ones through primaries)

Aside from the fact that he has not managed to accomplish nor seriously fight for most of what he promised, he’s an establishment vintage Democrat that operates in a very outdated way. 

He is essentially a center-left politician and despite some progressive things he’s done is not himself a progressive. By very nature of being your standard factory made Democrat, he doesn’t do much to propel anything forward. 

The only reason he won is because he didn’t seem primed to move anything backwards.

Inflation + massive ignorance, IMHO.

He's not the lesser of two evils, he's not Republican lite, he's probably the best president since LBJ, but hardly anyone seems to realize it. :(

because America has a third of a milliard inhabitants (333,3 million in Dec 2022) and they choose... Biden out of a 1/3 of a milliard people :giveup:

also Biden is showing signs of dementia and he is basically only reading off scripts, and he says basically always what his team instructs him to say....and he has his reading cards with him, without them he'd be clueless.... they real president is the team behind Biden...

By the way: In 1993, Biden voted for a provision that deemed homosexuality incompatible with military life, thereby banning gays from serving in the armed forces. In 1996, he voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, thereby barring individuals in such marriages from equal protection under federal law and allowing states to do the same.

He only changed his minds towards LGBT when he got dementia and didn't know anymore what gay means [he thinks gay means cheerful... and that the gay community is a cheerleader group] and Biden has done more damage throughout his life towards the gay community than he did good things.

Kamala Harris has pointed out the inconsistency, hypocrisy and changing-minds of Biden during the election campaign, but when she was appointed Vice President she became silent about it and accomplice to Biden.

Biden’s younger brother is Gay, so I think that is what actually changed his mind on gay rights actually… 🤷🏾‍♂️

Economy

How often is a politician ever popular across the board tho? Theres always gonna be ppl who dislike them because they dont fully align with their beliefs

 

I think on a site like GGD which is disporportionally very left leaning, hes simply not progressive enough or push progressive agendas hard enough

 

Right wingers obviously dislike him

 

But id be willing to bet if you surveyed ONLY his base he caters to most (centrists and left-centrist) hed be quite popular still

 

I think his lack of energy and sense of urgency also makes him perform slightly worse on the polls then he otherwise would

I mean the economy is in shambles for starters. Say what you want about our last two presidents but the modern day lower middle class has never suffered like they have under this administration. He’s also mentally unfit. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was disastrous and so was the scale of our financial response to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Obviously that’s not all on him but his administration and inability to lead
