but sometimes a cigar with 40% approval rating confirms that he is looking for re-election[1] in 2024 right before opening the oil reserve

Voters barely remember what someone did six months ago. You honestly think they are going to remember, or care, what gas prices were 3 years before an election?

I think that by lowering gas prices he slightly increases probability of "Build Back Better" to be passed because somehow republicans and radical democrats(Manchin and others) were able to couple future spending plans with the current inflation and gas prices and sell this BS to the public.

BBB is a big win for Biden and it could help him and dems in 2022 and 2024.

Losing a war. Leaving hundreds of Americans stranded, people who helped us being slaughtered.

You don’t come back from that.

Yeah, paying attention to a a few troubled Americans while ignoring hundreds of thousands of actual victims sounds like typical US mentality.

Pretty sure that war was lost a long time ago.

I thought that Obama actually won this war back in 2012 when they found and killed bin laden, no?

That was basically the only win in that war

That war was lost on 2003. Biden finally put a fork in it

All US presidents seek reelection. This narrative has zero explanatory or predictive power.

Biden is 79 years old and he demonstrated some terrible mental health issues at times when he came out of the basement last year. it's not clear why he would seek for reelection given these conditions.

You put far too much faith in the American electorate....

The government is actually trying to do something for folks and yet they are still ungrateful

By shutting down the keystone pipeline which jump started this mess? The government doesn’t help you. You are just here, they do what is in their best interest. Big daddy government won’t solve your problems.

How do you extrapolate all that from such a simple statement?
