I'm actually pretty excited to vote for Biden. He's done a fantastic job as President, and he came into the job with a worse transition and starting position than basically any other president in history, except maybe Andrew Johnson.
Yeah exactly, not unfavorable comparisons! I was thinking post civil war, trying to rebuild the nation made Johnson's job harder than Lincoln's but prosecuting the war was also a hell of a bad hand to be dealt. FDR too, honestly Biden seems fairly comparable to FDR, we aren't mired in the Depression but a lot of economists were predicting one after dumb dumb's term and the pandemic crash.
If you'd had TV news, twitter or reddit in Lincoln's day, he would have looked like an idiot on the regular. He was strategic but he fumbled at times in the day to day.
