  1. Honestly, he’s restored my faith that decent people exist.

  2. Probably the best in my lifetime so far. Obama was handicapped by a senate who had fundamentally changed and played him on bad faith.

  3. Not sure one of the best, but very important and easily top 20

  4. He’s already ranked 14th by bipartisan presidential historians.

    Guess where Trump is ranked?

    >!LAST!<

  5. If Kamala pulls this off, Biden is going down in history in a big way.

  6. Biden stepped aside to do the right thing. That’s already way more than what most people can say about themselves.

    Comparing that to Trump, is anyone even sure that if he wins in 2024 that he will actually leave after 4 years, I don’t think even vance is sure of that. Let’s say he wins, he will prop up vance and then tell him to resign ad pass the office back to him. Oh, wait, that exactly what putin did…..

  7. He must feel good that he won’t have to field any more questions of whether he thinks Biden should drop out.

  8. Damn right, he will. He saved our nation from authoritarianism in 2020. And again in 2024. In the middle, he got a lot of great stuff done

  9. Biden will probably be in the top half on normal circumstances, but if Kamala wins then I could see him being a Top 15-20.

    I’m sure he will be compared to Cincinnatus in Moderate to Left circles, which will help his image.

  10. I’ve been saying this for a year, he’s a top 10 prez. And he’d be top 5 if Dump loses.

    It was starting to look grim, but what a fucking hero. It might still hold.

  13. By stepping down the way he did, Biden showed America that he’s actually the man for the job.

    If our Republic survives, our great-grandchildren should revere him as the second Great American Cincinnatus

  14. He is the modern model for what the founders had in mind for an executive. Experienced, tries to bring ppl together (impossible to actually do so nowadays), competent, lives the aspirational principles that the US purports to embody but typically falls short (freedom, empathy, logic, strength, security, ppl-led rule), and now, as Washington did, giving up power when it is what’s best for the nation.

    He will go down as a historic figure that reset the tone on servant-leadership. All the more impactful when juxtaposed against trump and the GOP, who will do anything, sacrifice any principle and person, in order to hold onto power.

  15. Here is the thing, I would have to say at least in terms of modern residents, trump is much more consequential of one. But, not for a good reason. He is consequential for the damage that has been caused and continues to this day.

    Biden although not perfect, has done a lot given how absolutely useless congress has been. There is a reason why this has been one of the most wasteful and disappointing congressional term that I can even think of. Given what happened, and there being “democratic” senators who in my opinion let down their state and people of the country, he managed to get a lot done. Again, far from perfect but when you have a borderline extremist do-nothing house, there is only so much you can do.

  17. It starting to realize r/politics is just full of democrats that hate trump and will choose whoever democrats put up.

  19. Sad it ends like this, but it’s time. What a great president patriot and a beautiful man.

  20. People have overlooked what the EPA has been up to. Progress on lots of different cleanups, and primary drinking water standards for some PFAS, and fish consumption advisory guidance.

  21. I’ve already said this; Biden is the greatest president of my lifetime for many reasons. Does it mean he does no wrong? Of course not, but he sure as hell stands above all other Boomer presidents (all presidents since Clinton) we’ve had.

  22. He will! I’m glad he left with dignity. It was crazy how people were wheeling Diane Feinstein around like Weekend at Bernie’s. The party needs to quit thinking about seniority and paying dues. They can do that shit when they are pro-union.

  23. Get you a friend that loves you as much as Clyburn loves Biden.

    No joke, this man was and is Ride or Die and I need that energy

  24. I agree. This guy, if Kamala wins, will have made a seamless transition from Covid and dangers to democracy to a bright future

  25. Most progressive president in nearly half a century.

  27. “But we kicked his ass to the curb.”

    I don’t want to hear all this praise for a man that half the party absolutely hated, especially on Reddit.

  29. A beacon of hope, a shining light, a real inspiration for all! Thank you President Biden!

    Fantastic covid response and vaccine rollout, Bipartisan Infrastructure Spending, Handling of Ukraine crisis, Inflation Reduction act, CHIPS, Handling of Debt ceiling crisis, Handling of baby formula crisis, making lynching a fed hate crime, making Medicaid negotiate drug prices, cheap insulin, banning credit late fees, continued forgiving of student loans, and literally everything mentioned in r whatbidenhasdone ….

    Now it’s VP Harris’ turn. She rightfully deserve 4 more years, and Democrats deserve complete Control of Congress and every state govt 😎🇺🇸👍

  30. After a lifetime of service to the American people, even his retirement from politics is for the sake of the greater good.

  31. He managed to wrangle the runaway inflation that Trump left him to deal with. That’s some feat considering all the corporate tax cuts and money printing Trump did while in office.
