Depends on the history books. Authors who really care about what's happening in Gaza will focus on that and reflect poorly on him. School textbooks likely won't mention the issue at all, so will likely remember him fondly unless it's Republicans writing the books. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...

Hard to say right now because I think this depends on if the Biden into Kamala gambit succeeds. If it does, I imagine he'll be upper tier, but among many dogged presidents when it comes to a major foreign policy/moral failure with how badly the Israel/Gaza situation is. I think Obama was better at this point in time but the floor for modern presidents is the lowest it's been from the mid-late 1800s so that isn't saying much. Our modern median is much, much closer to people like Buchanan or Andrew Johnson than it is Lincoln too, so we haven't had an offset president like Lincoln or FDR that fundamentally changes the baseline for the better. --- Enjoy movies and television?

he has governed to the left of any president since fdr and has generally been really good. a lot of his policy has been blocked by the traitorous republican party and its activist/fraudulent judges, but he helped the nation heal after covid and brought the economy back from the brink after trump did such an awful job --- I am thinking about just walking into the river now that Megaupload is gone and condoms are in porn.-Fubonis ...

No two ways about it. There is no justification for his actions on that matter. Ukraine though... yes, absolutely, he could have done so much better. But I wouldn't say he did terrible. I wouldn't even say he did bad. Heck, I would say he did a decent job.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] You're telling me you're expecting an american publisher to go more into detail than "these were the people in this election, also a pandemic happened and a lot of people died but it's not anyone's fault specifically a lot of things went wrong that nobody could've possibly predicted oooOOOooooOOO" You'll get a footnote on Jan 6th, maybe, assuming Trump loses. Probably a blurb on "rising civil unrest" that will take great pains to not mention anything specific (if police brutality is mentioned in any capacity, it will be the most painstakingly devoid of detail reference ever). Nothing on policies passed, maybe a blurb on the economy depending on if there's a major recession within a couple years. *shrug* --- Variable General Veeg, at your service ... Copied to Clipboard!

Bernie claims he is the most progressive president since FDR so that is pretty huge. I also agree with this factor, he also is one of the few Presidents to recognize he might not be able mentally to have a second term and intentionally be a one term president. So yeah Biden was good the only black mark I think anyone can give him looking at the actual facts is his handling of Israel. Everything else is decent to great, and he tried to do even more but was blocked things like student loan forgiveness and some other progressive policies. --- Getting too damn old for this crap! ...

This is like if we had a 40 year war raging in some part of America, and then any President automatically gets the blame for it when they are elected.

Personally I view him as the worst Democrat president in my lifetime. He did some good things like his response to the Ukraine war. He was forced into position as not Trump and I will always see him as a selfish POS for waiting until just before the election to finally realize he wasn't in presidential shape. The response to Kamala being so well supported doesn't change the fact that Joe created a potentially disastrous positin.

Depends on how far into the future you're talking about. While the current generations are still alive, he'll be remember for more detailed reasons, but if we're talking 40-50 years from now when all of the boomers and GenXers are gone, and most Millennials are in their swan song, he'll most likely be a footnote, or at most, the President that helped the US recover post-Covid. --- You gotta laugh.
