"The felon"s lowest approval was still more than 3% lower than Joe's new low. That ain't sayin' much though.

I think that tells you everything you need to know about Biden as a candidate.

Non-viable. If you can't out approval a 34-count convicted felon, we shouldn't be running you as candidate.

It absolutely does. Biden is the right pick over Trump.

Did you have reading comprehension error? Trump was more than 3% LOWER in approval. Than this new low for Biden. As in, even Biden as his worst approval rating is better than Trump (at his worst).

I mean that's an editorial or moral opinion. Which is fine, but not relevant.

Trump was more than 3% LOWER in approval.

Was. Not is. Trumps approval was also much higher then Bidens ever has been at some points. Do those times not count?

What should matter is that right now. Trumps approval is 5 points higher than Biden. Not at some other time. Not cherry picking one time for one and a different time for the other. Just the facts ma'am.

Living in exacerbated disbelief of reality or in a heighten state of moral panic over the fact that, apparently, the country approves of Trump more than they do Biden does nothing to change the political reality we find ourselves in.

There is no moral comment being made when we show through data that Biden is losing this election. Living in a constant state of outrage because reality doesn't meet your expectations and other people obviously don't share them is delusional to the point of exhaustion.

Was. Not is.

Was, when President. Which is the equal measure.

Trumps approval was also much higher then Bidens ever has been at some points. Do those times not count?

Not cherry picking one time for one and a different time for the other. Just the facts ma’am.

Now who's cherry picking? Biden's highest approval is above Trumps highest approval, during both of their Presidencies. With Biden at 59% and Trump only reaching 47%.

Living in a constant state of outrage because reality doesn’t meet your expectations and other people obviously don’t share them is delusional to the point of exhaustion.

You brought your whole army of strawmen didn't you? Did you even see how I started this thread?

Feel free to respond to the void. I won't be wasting more time on you and your bad faith arguments.

Biden, 37%

Trump, 43%

All that matters.
