I wish we could vote to quarantine people into labeled sections of Lemmy. Everytime Biden does something that represents positive change there's an influx of begging choosers saying that "he didn't do enough" or "but what about this!". He's cancelled 153 billion with a B dollars in 4 years without having a majority in congress. That's an exceptional accomplishment. May I remind everyone how much debt on middle class Americans were forgiven of under Trump or Bush or Reagan?
Biden is up against the most conservative and corrupt Supreme Court panel in history and a republican party that is so determined to torpedo anything that comes to the floor that they booted out their speaker of the house for coming to an agreement on the budget and replaced him with a speaker that they're threatening to replace for nearly coming to a deal with democrats that would enable the US, for the first time in history, to close it's borders. The only thing wrong with it was that it took away their boogeyman to campaign on.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. It's cool he's forgiving student loans. But there's no sugar coating the mediocre job he's done and the impending doom his (the Democrats) apathy is about to impart on us.
Neoliberal genocidal lust will be our undoing. Simple compassion for human lives would easily win Biden this election, but he’s willing to throw it all away for his “Israel First” policy.
Don't like how they're handling Israel and their genocidal efforts but fuck Trump and his fascist attempts to end Democracy. Biden is the only option.
Right. I HOPE anyone pissing and moaning about Biden right now is a plant because if not the other shoe is about to drop if Trump wins and its going strait up their ass.
