Biden is now officially, by polling, the worst President in modern history.
https://apnews.com/article/inflation...46f9e914b87c59An overwhelming and growing majority of Americans say the U.S. is heading in the wrong direction, including nearly 8 in 10 Democrats, according to a new poll that finds deep pessimism about the economy plaguing President Joe Biden.
Eighty-five percent of U.S. adults say the country is on the wrong track, and 79% describe the economy as poor, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The findings suggest Biden faces fundamental challenges as he tries to motivate voters to cast ballots for Democrats in November’s midterm elections.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I listen occasionally to Hard Knock Radio hosted by Davey D. It's a black (very) progressive daily hourly talk show on KPFA which is a Berkeley based free speech station (it does/did host that Democracy Now show with Amy Goodman.)
I was listening last week and they were talking about their disappointment with so much but specifically mentioned how hard they worked (protesting etc.) post George Floyd including getting Trump out of office and electing Biden. Now they are saying they aren't seeing the changes they expected and are just tired.
It's pretty clear these folks would never vote Republican but when trying to get an understanding of why Biden's numbers are where they are these folks offer an excellent example.
We're better off than we were when Trump left. By the time Biden leaves office, it's likely we'll be able to conclusively say that yet again, a Republican crashed the economy, and a Dem led us to recovery (as we did w/ both Clinton & Obama).
I wouldn't count the eggs in the pudding yet on the mid-terms either. Dems will lose seats, because the party out of power always does - but I don't think it will be many. Roe has re-energized the left, despite righties constantly telling us that "no one cares" about it.
