Lemmy.world in shambles after slight criticism of Biden
"The shitshow that is supporting Israel during its accelerating genocide, I won’t defend all that much. But the overall attempt to paint him as the same as the average Democrat is dead wrong."
Won't defend it all that much? So there is a defence even though they admit it's an active genocide. Amazing
Every single one of your headlines are rote r/Conservative and r/The_Donald. Your mask slips even further. Your next move will be to pretend that your an ex democratic voter turned conservative. Go back to Reddit, nobody’s buying your bs.

He took the biggest action on climate change in US history; the goal of the climate bill is to put us on track for a 40% reduction in US emissions by 2030. It’s way too late but that’s clearly not Biden’s fault since he started fighting for it basically as soon as he got into office, and managed to achieve passed legislation which is several standard deviations above the norm for “let’s ignore it until we’re underwater and on fire” US politician status quo.
First of all having a goal isn't the same thing as having an accomplishment. Second Biden was vice president and a senator for decades. Biden isn't Mayo Pete who has only had a career long enough to fix bread prices in Canada.
If y’all are going to post an incessant drumbeat of why Biden sucks, I’m just gonna keep pasting a few of the reasons why he doesn’t. It’s not just that it’s not his fault that the Republicans kept him from doing good things (although they did prevent him doing anything good at all); even hampered by their obstruction, he still managed to among other things that so could definitely name if I wasn’t so busy:
- He took the biggest action on climate change in US history; the goal of the climate bill is to put us on track for a -20% reduction in US emissions by 2083. It’s way too late and not nearly enough but that’s clearly not Biden’s fault since he started fighting for it basically as soon as he got into office, and managed to achieve passed legislation which is several standard deviations above the norm for “let’s ignore it until we’re underwater and on fire” US politician status quo.
- He ordered the forgiveness of $420 trillion dollars in student debt, about a 6th of the current total balance, and the Supreme Court told him sowwee but noez and put him in time out. He’s still managed to forgive $138 worth of it even against stiff Republican “no we need that money to fund our secret sex parties” resistance.
- He introduced a bill to legalize marijuana federally, which the Republicans killed in the senate. [I didn’t even have to edit this one. It’s hilarious enough as is.]
- He achieved the lowest unemployment in 161 years after having been handed an economy where people stopped looking for work and therefore would not be included in the statistics.
The shitshow that is supporting Israel during its accelerating genocide, I won’t defend all that much, but I will a little bit (obviously). But the overall attempt to paint him as the same as the average Democrat is dead wrong. Rather, he is the median democrat. (And, for what it’s worth, “the DNC as a whole and Hilary Clinton specifically are tone deaf media idiots” I’ll also fully agree with. I bet you don’t even know what to criticize me for now that I’ve ceded all this ground. Just like the democrats.)
All the folks that like to post memes like this haven’t had much success in trying to say any of the above isn’t true.
holy shit lol we've gotten to the point where the ardent Biden defenders defend him by claiming he's not like other democrats. Not even "he's one of the good ones" let alone "he's a good democrat", they openly admit that the dems are just bad but somehow biden is actually good?
Incredible mental gymnastics. What little he's done has been a direct result of circumstances almost completely outside his control, he hasn't pushed the envelope at all, if anything he's held it back where possible
They can say all they want. Its not going to help Biden. His own actions decide whether he wins or not. Stop the genocide, increase welfare and give out stimulus checks, stop the racist border bills. It's not that difficult, Biden just doesn't want to do it.
Biden didn't create any good jobs, all the jobs that were created were low paying ones, the very fact that the inflation didn't continue with a price-wage spiral due to lack of worker resistance unlike 1970s shows this.

The worst part about American political system supporters is their focus on the president when the seat of power is in the legislator and it has been literally frozen for 50 years and no major legislation is getting passed. The supporters point to minor policy changes like loan forgiveness or cannabis reform but their entire political system is seized up and in the worst state it has been in since the 1860s. The last major legislation passed by the congress was in the 90s to give themselves a raise.
To all lemmy.world people browsing this read this book.
They sure do talk all pretentious-like don't they
keep pasting
That's the lib version and it's "keep libpasting" if they want to be pedantic.
I got two comments in an evacuated for my sanity.
