First, appreciate your willingness to actually ask and have a discussion.

Second, even if you personally favor his platform, I think it’s hard to make a case that he’s been successful in just about any of his endeavors. The pandemic response was a nightmare, the pull out from Afghanistan was abhorrent. Our current foreign policy appears to be just writing a blank check to Ukraine and hoping for the best. The solution to inflation is to just spend more money which exacerbates the problem while the Fed is playing games with interest rates to try to postpone the inevitable crash which also makes things worse. I can’t think of a single area where I would say the country is on the right track from the federal level. Nothing is trending in the correct direction. Honestly I think the only people left defending Biden are just doing so reflexively out of a distaste for the previous administration. I hope you don’t take this criticism of the current administration as praise for the previous one.

I remember seeing these a lot in 2009ish when the recession was hitting hard. Its a sign of distress. Plus black/silver flags as well which if I remember correct was something like, we have always been poor and the recession will not change that.
