I imagine Biden was an excellent president from the European perspective. As an American I have a bit of a different opinion as most of the major cities here are no longer safe, nobody is able to afford anything, and massive hordes of illegal immigrants of unknown nationality and character are streaming into the country.

But yes, I agree, ignoring the reality of all of those things, pretty good!

There are certainly things Biden can be criticized for but your comment is hyperbole that has little bearing on reality -

> most of the major cities here are no longer safe

objectively, nearly every major cities is safer now than at virtually any time in the past 50 or so years.

> massive hordes of illegal immigrants

This uptick trend has been noticeable for the last 30 years so I'm not sure how this is attributable to Biden. Additionally, as a percentage, we are still not yet relative to the percentage of population that is an immigrant as compared to the late 1800s. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested...

But yes, I agree, if you ignore reality, you can blame Biden for everything :)

So all cities were safe under Trump and no illegal immigrants?

I never mentioned Trump in my original post?

If the cities are no longer safe under Biden, they were either safer before or they weren't.

If the weren't, why blame Biden? And why writing "no longer" instead of "still not".

If they were, you mean they were safer under his predecessor: Trump

This is practically verbatim conservative news propaganda

Crazy how my original comment has been flagged now. If this was such a loony take, why are people even interacting with it.

What would you expect when one needs license for driving but not one for gun.

> nobody is able to afford anything

Since corporations have unlimited power.

Indeed. I’m sure glad California’s prohibitive gun laws have created a utopian state free from gun crime!
