Boring has been great, honestly. I didn't know how much I needed a president who just got things done and wasn't making headlines every day.
I wouldn't say he's mediocre tho. Domestically he's had a fantastic first term. I hope he brings some kind of CHIPS Act level stuff like an axe to the housing market yet, at least something to tease for his second term. International results have been a different story, Afghanistan was a disaster but also a call that needed to be made (and should have been made before him), and his handling of Israel so far is appalling. I'm sure it's more complicated than we know but still - let's hope he makes some tough demands there before too much longer.
In the end I agree with you, better than a GOPer and infinitely better than Trump in any of these situations.
