I feel like the main political divide on this website is between “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I hate him” and “Joe Biden is terrible and old and I will crawl over broken glass to vote for a rancid ham sandwich against Donald Trump” very few people are actually huge fans of the guy

I don’t hate him!

I don’t particular care about him as a person but I think that until Oct 7 he was an excellent president.

He has been an excellent president, the best of my 55 years. With the exception of 2 issues, he's governed at the center or to the left of the Democratic Party. On the 2 issues - Israel and immigration, he's been to the right of Dems, but probably in the center judged against the country as a whole.

I think that last assessment is too pessimistic, sadly. He’s almost certainly to the left of almost all republicans and a good chunk of democrats (whether most or not, I don’t know), which would put him left of center for the country as a whole.

You may well be correct. My only point is to put more context around the two issues in which so many online leftists lose their collective minds. We may want Ol' Joe to do xyz on Israel, but to jump on @tft.io 's hobby horse, there are people with very different views.
