Biden's speech impediment is well-known, and he's never been a very comfortable or eloquent public speaker.KUTradition wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 10:25 am nobody here, that i’m aware of, wants Biden (or wanted him the first go ‘round)
but even IF his mental acuity is diminished, he’s still better than trump
edit: in fact, there is a fairly strong argument that Biden only won the fist time BECAUSE trump was so unpalatable to independents
that sentiment hasn’t changed that i’m aware of
What I know is that - whether despite or because of him - his administration and term has been highly successful. Material legislation has been passed. Confidence is being restored in the boring, basic functionality of government. The job market remains strong, and inflation is slowing. We have managed our involvement (or not) in the Ukraine/Russia crisis as well as could reasonably be expected.
Biden ran on a promise of steadiness, comity and reason. I think he's met those promises to date. I would prefer he step aside and use his successes to transition the big chair to someone a generation or two younger, but I also see the value in not handing things off to the more progressive wing of the party.
