Is Joe Biden the best US President since LBJ?

LBJ, the left puts up with Biden

I don't think it should really be a surprise that the left likes the Civil Rights and Great Society president.

if that was his only actions you'd have an excellent point, but you know there is more to him than that.  Lefties of the time knew. For some reason, hundreds of thousands of dead brown men, women and children doesn't matter to modern lefties because you don't have any problem hand waving those deaths away.

I'm sure you would have loved living in the 1960s given that until the Tet Offensive 80-85%  of Americans supported the Vietnam War.

what about my post makes you think I would have supported the Vietnam War?  And I'm smart enough to know I'd greatly miss all the art, medicine, science and consumer good that has been created in the last 60 years, so I have zero desire to go back in time.  Gross.  That's for the ignorant and the dumb.

Straw man.  It's not a matter of "waving those deaths away."  It's a matter of putting Vietnam into historical context and also of acknowledging that it is not the sum total of LBJ's record--that he did other things that were of comparable, and arguably greater, importance.

By using your type of reasoning, I could accuse you of being morally bankrupt for waving civil rights away and treating it as unimportant.

he passed legislation that was inevitable, that he only passed for votes, not for some grand desire to help the down trodden and since it's passage, the people it was designed to help have done WAY worse than they were doing before.  If that outweighs a million dead to you, well, to me that's not a good look, but I understand it's quite normal with the modern left...hence my first post.  Your grandparents knew LBJ sucked, that's why if nominated he will not run.

And where do you put taking a dump during meetings, wandering around naked and pissing whenever he felt like it into historical context?  Sounds more like Trump (if he didn't have small "hands") than an important civil rights leader.
