Joe Biden, the 46th president of USA

Congress authorised the project in 1928. The great depression started in 1929. The construction began in 1931, some of the techniques were unproven at the time and the conditions were torrid. The great depression lasted another decade and FDR issued the first "New Deal" policy afterwards in 1933-34. The damn was completed in 1935.

He may not have been president whilst it was authorised, but his execution clearly sustained the great depression, when he should have postponed the project or set up a "new deal" like FDR did.

Biden and Harris are setting records with their abysmal approval ratings. Something definitely seems fishy about the election, considering even half of all democrats hate both of them.

Maybe people simply don't care.

I don't get why people liked Sanders so much...

He was unelectable...

He would have made Trump look like a fool in a debate.

So did Biden.

You could argue that he was only fear mongered into that role and that he likely would have been able to beat Trump as well considering how bad Trump was.

Yes Republicans would have fear mongered with the Socialist Boogeyman angle but they did that with Biden as well.

Pretty sure he wasn't unelectable in 2016. Don't think he would have won in 2020 though.

It was weird how he tried to argue that he was socialist because his economic plan was similar to Denmark, yet Denmark isn't a socialist country. It's a contradiction.

More voters would back former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical match-up if the 2024 election were held today, according to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.

Forty-eight percent of voters in the survey said they would back Trump, compared with 45 percent for Biden. Another 8 percent were unsure.

The results were evenly split at 46 percent among women, while men backed Trump by a margin of 50 percent to 43 percent. Biden won urban voters by 20 percentage points and suburban voters by 4 percentage points, but Trump romped among rural voters by 33 percentage points.

The poll comes as Biden plays defense on a slate of issues, including inflation, stubbornly high rates of coronavirus infections and the messy withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Democrats have sought to rebut criticism by highlighting rising job growth and an intense vaccination push while arguing Republicans are downplaying the need for Americans to get inoculated.

Should Trump run, he would likely skate to the 2024 GOP nomination, according to the poll.

Trump holds a gargantuan lead over any other potential GOP contender. Sixty-seven percent of Republican voters would back the former president, with former Vice President Mike Pence coming in second with 9 percent and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming in third with 8 percent.

The poll is largely in line with other surveys that have suggested Trump is a shoo-in for the Republican nomination if he wages a third White House bid in 2024.

“The collapse of Biden has led to a surge for President Trump on all fronts both in the GOP primary and in a potential general election,” said pollster Mark Penn.

It's the same nonsense that saw people start screaming back "All Lives Matter" to BLM protestors.

It's an actual fallacy and one many Americans use.

Denmark as strong socialist programs. So Bernie isn't exactly wrong. And the problem here is we're getting into a war of semantics because people care more about the words being used then the actual actions the people want to take.

The message isn't a bad one.

I think Ahmaud Arbery's father probably had no clue about the politics behind what he said. It was a heartfelt message of unity.

Some publications still tried to tie it into partisan politics, which I think is disgraceful.
