Joe Biden got the job done.
Joe Biden got the job done.
In the State of the Union speech, he took it to Trump and showed he can fight.
You're viewing a single thread.
I see people say they're not big on Biden, but I'm not really sure why. At least not in the big strokes. He's been remarkably effective in getting good policy passed despite the situation in congress. I get being unhappy about certain particulars, but I think he's the best president I've voted for in my lifetime and it's an easy yes to vote for him again.
I'll vote for him but the DNC is taking unnecessary risks by not encouraging young progressives from taking the main stage who might drum up actual enthusiasm. Biden may be in favor of climate action and worker's rights but those have never been his top priority.
While it's true that he campained pretending to be pro-union, his actual actions show the opposite. See the 2022 railroad strike
Actions or action? I was infuriated by the railroad strike response, and I'll never view that as anything but a miserable decision, but Biden was also the first president to join picket lines with the UAW strike and, for what it's worth, leaders of the railroad unions did give him some credit for helping negotiate for the sick day benefits they were able to earn in the months following. He's no Mother Jones by a longshot, but grading the balance of his actions on the curve of US politicians, he's a C+ at worst
Seems almost certain that Gavin Newsome will be next.
Only if you guys get a 'next' tho... Gotta beat that orange end boss guy first.
I'm rooting for ya!
Sad, but true. Please liberate us Streets of Rage/ Bare Knuckle style if we fall.
Best I could do is Double Dragon, but '...and my axe!' nonetheless!
sigh it'll have to do.
I had a grudge against him for things he did as a senator. Crime bill. RAVE Act. Just kind of legislated regressively and rubbed me the wrong way. Typical steely-eyed missile man wannabe, Corvette-and-aviators, neoliberal reactionary. You know, a privileged know it all. Seemed like the kinda guy who might tell a depressed person “Just try not being sad, Jack.” Not that I thought he intended to be a jerk, just maybe thought a bit too much of himself. Overconfident American white man privilege.
Granted, he’s done pretty well to stop the bleeding from the last guy, and it certainly the better alternative now that it’s gonna be a rematch.
Needs to take off his blinders on Israel though. Whether he just didn’t know what was really happening over there or he knew and intended on being a steadfast ally regardless (cmon, he knew) the word is out, Jack. That’s not the kind of Dark Brandon we should have to accept, regardless of the alternative.
His economic policy is very similar to trump and while trump is a way bigger netanyahu dick rider than Biden, Biden still perpetuates the issue in the middle east (even if you go back decades to when he was a senator).
I live in a blue state either way so I'll probably abstain, I don't know if I would if I were in a swing state
