Today I Learned that official statements and campaign promises from Biden are in fact now Republican propaganda. My favorite one is when Republicans made Biden said he would fight for abortion rights and queer protections.
Like mate, is calling out "Hey they didn't even push for this once in office to the same political party" propaganda? Or is it just going "Don't believe everything you hear from a politician, even with they are the lowest bar of 'Not Dipshit Trump'"?
So he made a promise he couldn't keep. He didn't try to win over the members in congress, or talk about it publicly why it's the fault of Republicans, and not him.
That's a cool guy. Remember when FDR just did nothing in Congress to push for Social Security? Or Minimum Wage? That was so cool of him. I especially don't remember him making any fireside chats to the public talking about what would best for America and how you can help it.
Dude this is how Congress works. The president is not a king. Congress passes laws, not the president. You campaign and then you try to fulfill it, but if Congress blocks you there's not much you can do
If you haven't noticed, the right wing today is not the right wing of 70 years ago. They will gleefully burn everything to the ground. The GOP even shut down the government under Obama.
So now the question is what can you do. You vote for the Dems. You give them actual control in all 3 houses. Give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
Why is Lemmy like this? This is half of what I see whenever I see people criticizing Joey B on here.
Why can't people dislike and vote against Trump while also wanting to hold Biden accountable for his words/actions?
I see such a large majority of people who vote Dem/have blue/left values on here and I seriously doubt posts like these are going to change their minds. People just want to vent their frustrations with what many consider the only option they have.
Most of it is on purpose, and a good portion is useful idiots parroting propaganda they heard. Trump, the Kremlin, and a bunch of other powerful sociopaths love these threads.
