CNN Confused by Biden's Unpopularity

The bottom line is when things aren't going well the president wears it. He inherited a shitty mess and has not fixed everything so yeah, he took a hit in the ratings.

He inherited a recovery and vaccine and immediately set off undoing everything because it said Trump on it. Or rather the Democrats, and they chose him.

Afghanistan, Immigration, Inflation, Authoritarianism are all unpopular and directly linked to Biden and the Democrats. Instead of the unity and back to normality they promised, its more of the same. Punish your enemies, buy votes, hypocrisy.

"Authoritarianism", immigration, those are Republican talking points from before the election, loosely applied to every Dem in office anyway. Biden was never popular with Trump's crowd, so that's not why he's taken a hit in the polls.

He's seen a drop because he hasn't always pleased his crowd. Yes moderates and swing voters may be upset he didn't quite stick the landing on Afghanistan but that's getting to be old news. On the economy, yes inflation is a worry and the sitting president always cops it when that happens. Otherwise his problem is the progressive wing expected more of him on their pet issues (student loans being one that's tied to the economy; environment another) and so far he's been decidedly centrist. People would also like to see him use that bully pulpit and browbeat obstructionists like manchin and Sinema (not to mention put the minority, under McConnell in its place) but he's been lukewarm on that. A republican president would certainly be more assertive when dealing with congress.

The drop in the polls comes entirely from the left (from the center to the wing) and not from people who never voted for him anyway.
 

Original ed. by Zakaria is paywalled, so youll have to make do with Fox. Yes, CNN is biased, and Im pretty sure they are just lying about being puzzled. After all Zakaria says its right there.



Afghanistan - Biden Action
Covid - Biden Actions
Inflation - Biden/Dem actions

Which is not to say BIden actually took all these actions himnself as opposed to rubber stamping, but he says the buck stops with him. I guess if hes likable by Democrats though, hes supposed to be popular? Is the media really puzzled or just more politics?
You're still paying attention to CNN? Why?

FIne, MOST of america doesnt like him because hes a failure on all fronts. In addition, liberals dont like him because hes a failure on their fronts.

It's cute how you Libbys call every fact the republicans present "talking points"
I guess it's better than every "fact" you Libbys present.....AKA; lies

Careful what you preach. The polls are accurate as to how many people voted for Biden.
We both know the balance that "handed" him the election were created after midnight without any supervision or conscience.
The polls are dead on in numbering the people who actually cast a vote for Biden.
Go ahead.....call those magic votes a "republican talking point".

Viewpoints perhaps then. Talking points can be real, perceived or somewhere in between.

But Biden's ratings drop is entirely from those who previously gave higher approval. His voters never perceived immigration as so pressing, nor mandates as 'authoritarian'. They're down on him because he hasn't fixed everything they expected, not what the Right cries about all the time anyway.

Your 'magic votes' aren't even a talking point. That's pure bullshit. If you want to derail this thread and whine about a 'stolen election' get some hard, verified evidence.

Plenty of stuff was done in all 3 of those areas before Biden took office.
Especially Afghanistan, for that you have to go back through 3 presidents all the way to Bush Jr.
Even further if you want more context, but I digress.

The deal to withdraw from Afghanistan was drawn up and partially underway under the Trump administration.
Covid had 2 years of ramp up time before Biden took office, are you trying to tell me that you expected Biden to magically stop a virus in it's tracks?

As for inflation, I don't know that anyone fully understands all the factors, but it's silly to ignore the massive impact and disruption that Covid and the varied responses to it had on the economy, it's going to be bumpy for a while before it settles down.
Especially since I don't think Covid is ever going to fully leave, and even if we get it under control we'll need to keep checking for new variants and updating the vaccinations and keeping the social distancing methods ready in the wings for another flare up of it or another virus.
 
And we now know that Republicans will go to any length to hang on to power, even stealing an election.
 
People continue to demonstrate they think "Belligerent Talk" and "Attacking Everything About The Government" is their idea of strength. It's the most absurd group of mindless minions, blinded by the fact that Republican are the Obstructionist, still chasing the imagery of the past.
Arrogance is what these people "love", their own intellectual weakness, always defaults to Arrogance and their Love of Bias and Bigotry.

They attack the same government that crated the foundations of their live and the lives of their ancestry, the only difference is "intellect" is breaking down that "White Nationalist Ideal" that so many white people grew up believing. Thinking they are the only people who matter. They can't see that's their affliction, because its been what their life has been based upon.

Republicanism has attack any and every policy that helps people. Republicanism has done absolutely NOTHING for young people and the burden of University Cost, Republicanism has sad not a sing word about promoting Vocational and Technical Skill Training.

They are just a group of (some) white people, pissed off because they can't dictate and control society, as their parents and grand parents deluded them into thinking they are more important than non white people, and deluding them to think that they built America.

Many live their segregated lives wrapped in perpetual debt cycles, trying to impress each other with materialism, and expecting to get first choice, first option and first access to anything and everything.
These are (some) white people who grew up with parents and grandparents who resulted to fill swimming pools with dirt and cover over it with grass, to avoid non white people from using them. These are the same people who only 58 yrs ago, backed and supported every aspect of Jim Crow and walked around feeling proud about it. They passed that same mentality ideology into their kids.

  • What they hate about Biden, is he has Racial and Ethnicity Diversity in his Administration, and (some) white people are pissed off because everything is not dominated by white people, who look like some "media character" they have been trained to submit themselves to.
  • White people "flip flop too much", any time 'everything is not designed just for them!!!! It's shown in how they back our right liar like Lindsey Graham, and back and support belligerent ignorance such a MT. Green and other Right Wing Republicans, who insult every element of human and social decency and public principles.
  • They go so extreme with bigotry, bias, racism and lusting for an Autocrat, they think will recreate white dominance of white nationalism, until they back the vile of Trump's attempt at a Coup d'etat.
  • It driven them crazy because Biden, chose a non white person, as VP and many hate the fact that person, is also a woman.
  • They had the same attitude at LBJ, because he abolished Legalized Segregation, and put a black man on the Supreme Court, and Passed Voting Rights Legislation, which they've been fighting against every since,
  • They detest that LBJ passed Immigration Reform, which was made no longer white dominated accessibility to immigrate.
  • They had even more vitriol against Obama, because of his skin color.
Time should have made it clear to (some) white people, "they are not special, and skin damn sure will never make anyone special)

Sure, they'll deny it, but deep within themselves the lie won't stick!!! but they will devote their lives to trying to live the lie anyway.

Every Policy of the Biden Administration is designed for EVERYONE.. and (some) white people hate that fact, because Trump was trying to recreate 1950's White Nationalism of Wealthy White Male Dominance, and they are too under-educated on the truth of history to know, that Wealthy White Male dominance has caused and created havoc in America for 100's of years for black and poor whites and keep working poor whites with insufficient income to keep up with the changing time and wealthy white male created cycles of inflation.

The Pandemic has shown how quick "(some) wealthy white men" jack up prices the minute the government put money into society to help "American People", all these greedy types did was craft a means to fleece that money away from people with exaggerated higher pricing for everything. They don't care who they hurt, all they care about is "hoarding more and more money" at the expense of anyone and anything.

Biden said he would magically stop covid in his tracks, not me. But see, youre proving the point. YOU are being reasonable, trying to put things in context. Democrats put everything in terms of credit or blame, and now they have to reap the consequences. Things are bad, they are in charge, thus under their logic, they are to blame.
 
Is this 2009?
Did you list an election date in your post I responded to? ( No. You did not ) And FYI, Obama wasn't elected in 2009. He was elected in 2008, and re-elected in 2012, because he was a damn good POTUS. You're welcome.

The TOPIC is BIDEN.
 
This is the reality (some) white people try to deny.... and they want to blame it on Biden, when FACT IS... this DEBT CYCLE has been the basis in white society, for Decades upon Decades. This Debt Cycle did not just start it has been "consistently rising since" the 1960's when Industry and Jobs were shipped away, as a means to ensure blacks and poor whites, remain at the low and bottom of the "financial stability of family life".

quote
The average American has $90,460 in debt, That included all types of consumer debt products, from credit cards to personal loans, mortgages and student debt.

The average amount of debt by generation in 2020:

  • Gen Z (ages 18 to 23): $16,043
  • Millennials (ages 24 to 39): $87,448
  • Gen X (ages 40 to 55): $140,643
  • Baby boomers (ages 56 to 74): $97,290
  • Silent generation (ages 75 and above): $41,281
A person’s education level directly affects their earning potential.

Here are 2020 Bureau of Labor Statistics on average annual income by education level:

  • Less than a high school diploma – $30,784
  • High school education – $38,792
  • Attended some college – $43,316
  • Two-year college degree – $46,124
  • Bachelor’s degree – $64,896
  • Master’s degree – $77,844
  • Doctorate degree – $97,916
For instance, if your bills amount to $5,000 a month and you make $7,500 a month, your DTI is 66%. It also means you are dire need of financial overhaul.

When it comes to savings, a Consumer Services report found that the average single person in the 35-44 age group with no children had $3,693 in savings. A married couple with no children in that demographic had $10,399 in savings.

Keeping working people (white and black) financially strapped is the key way to promote racist ignorance and social and civic divisiveness.

They can't bear to face the real truth, because the real truth will show the history to themselves of the bias and bigotry they embraced and used to give themselves the delusions that they are better than others who are now white. It's the craziest thing every. It may be some time, before truth continues to bring them to a point to face truth, because there are many still today teaching their kids every type of segregationist concepts.

It's amazing how over the history of America, (some) white skin people still choose to blind themselves to the damages that the inequity based on skin caused and created in America over 100's of yrs. (some) white people, also have the same discriminating attitude against poor whites people, and there are poor whites people who know they are not accepted on a equal basis with well to do white people who have money.

Some try to deny it:
But..... many know exactly what I'm talking about.

You don't know enough about Biden's Policies and Presidential Agenda... all you know is... the "Groomed in hate of Democrat Presidents".

For some odd reason you think a POTUS election was held in 2009. Confused much? :ROFLMAO:

Democrat President over the past 50+ yrs, don't resort to and have not resorted to "Belligerent Arrogance"... They stick with Principle and Policy through Intellect and collective data by and through their Administrative Cabinet.

They have long abandonded the "Delusions that "Brutish" mentality as being strength"... they know Strength is within "knowledge'... its unfortunately Republicans and Republican supporters have not acknowledged that ideology and fact and "the weak and waffling" among some Democrats who still get hoodwinked into being influenced by Republican Spin and want to see a Pugulistic President,
When fact is... An Intellectual Presidential Administration does not get involved in Pugulistic Brutish Conduct. They work through the principles of the established system respecing policies, regulations and administrative integrity.

  • Republican still live by the act and fact of "taking intellect and kindness, for weakness" and they continue to act like barbaric brutes... on any and every matter.

This is not some western shoot em up scenario, and its not some go on a barbaric mission and slaughter the natives, but it appears that Republicans have never advanced from that mentality, and some weaker minded democrats get sucked in by Republican Narratives.
