So a few things I’m curious about… how would Biden have changed the SCOTUS ruling on Roe? He can’t just unilaterally overrule them, and any bills for women’s rights that you try to push through congress will get nuked by the conservatives. What’s left?
If he’s so powerless to do anything why should I vote for him? Literally what have the Dems ever done with regards to abortion rights, other than using it for fundraising? Why do conservatives have all the power to do whatever ghoulish shit they want yet Dems are entirely powerless to do anything about it? Why didn’t the Democrats try to enshrine abortions rights into law during one of the three times they had control of the House, Senate, and presidency during the nearly 50 years Roe was in effect (once each during Carter, Clinton, and Obama)? I want them to do fucking anything about it, because despite all the lip service, as far as I can tell they don’t actually give a shit. “The GOP would block it” is not an excuse for not even trying.
Regarding the minimum wage… Yes there are still some sectors that are exempted, but Biden did push through an increase to $15/hr that covered a lot of workers. Big surprise, the only ones to challenge this increase were the GOP.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were both Democrats and they blocked minimum wage from passing. If the Democratic Party can’t even get their own people in line to pass the most basic things why should I vote for them? The $15 minimum wage Biden enacted only covered federal workers, which is 370,000 / 164.5 million = 0.22% of the entire US work force. And raising the minimum wage was a campaign promise, which he immediately dropped after one attempt and hasn’t tried again. Why should anyone believe any promise he makes in the next six months if all he can manage is one (1) half-assed attempt at raising the minimum wage to one that was barely enough to live on a decade ago, let alone now after massive inflation?
What else can anyone do about COVID?
Literally anything??? They did a whole bunch of shit in 2020. More stimulus checks, protections for workers, mandatory paid time off for anyone who tests positive, literally just not ending the things they were already doing. COVID never went away, it’s still killing people. Yet they just decided “whelp the pandemic is over, everyone back to work” and COVID was going to be a thing that kills people from now on. He’s the president of the united states, it’s literally his job to figure this shit out.
I just meant that yeah this is a big blunder and I have no objection to holding him partially responsible for this
You should be holding him entirely responsible for this. He’s fully aware of what he’s doing and what the weapons are being used for. There’s no excuse for genocide.
It’s worth noting though that nearly all of Congress is also introducing and voting for bills to provide aid to Israel’s genocide.
Fuck all of them too tbh.
Look at recent history of the other 3rd party runs, they spoiled the election for Gore and Hillary
Shaming the voters because your candidate lost has historically worked very well, very good idea, keep doing that.
Criticism of Biden is not an endorsement of Trump. No one here is advocating for Trump. No one here is voting for Trump.
Yeah Biden is a fairly typical politician, but what has he done wrong other than Israel?
“other than Israel” like his lifelong, unwavering support for a genocidal apartheid state is just a little whoopsie-doodle and he isn’t knowingly and willingly arming an entire fucking genocide. Fuck you.
But besides that: He has failed to protect trans rights, has failed to protect women’s rights (Roe was overturned under Biden, remember), has failed to raise the minimum wage, has drilled for more oil than any other president in history, has made no meaningful actions towards climate change, has expanded Trump’s racist border policies, he’s warmongering with China and Iran, refuses to cancel student loans, sent uniformed thugs after people peacefully protesting his awful decisions, busted a rail strike, has done nothing about COVID (which is still happening), and he still owes me $1400. To say nothing of all the racist policies and warmongering he supported during his decades as a politician before becoming president.

He needs a good history teacher and therapist.
Absolute lib shit lmao. The man is 77 years old and has never faced consequences for his actions in his entire life. That’s who he is. He’s not going to suddenly reverse his entire personality because you made him talk with a therapist for a couple hours.
Like I understand the desire for rehabilitation, but some people are just fucked.
At any rate he deserves it for his war crimes alone.
Going after Trump for his crimes would set a precedent for going after the rest of them for their crimes. It’s in their interests to not open that door.
The Fediverse has become the iverse
He started voting illegally in 2008 and it took the courts 16 years to get around to punishing him, and he gets a slap on the wrist for it. Anyone want to guess what his skin color is?
Not even stepping down until the end of the year, either. Also,
During his tenure, Calhoun made $24.5 million in salary and benefits and will possibly make a further $45.5 million from stock options he retains and $5 million from a retirement package.
So he murders a whistleblower with a hilariously bad coverup, gets to keep his job for another nine months, and still keeps his bonuses and retirement when he leaves. Can someone explain to me which part of this is supposed to be a punishment, because I’m not seeing it.
“We at Apex Roofing & Restoration are truly heartbroken by the senseless death of a minor at a job site in 2019,” a spokesperson for the company said. “The tragic incident occurred when a subcontractor’s worker brought his sibling to a worksite without Apex’s knowledge or permission.”
That’s why they do this subcontractor shit, not just as an excuse to deny the people who do their work benefits but to deflect blame whenever someone is injured/dies.
The latest penalty of $117,175 comes from the Wage and Hour Division, but in December 2019, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration also cited Apex Roofing $159,118 after it said the company exposed employees to fall hazards.
In a citation, OSHA officials said employees working nearly 50 feet above the ground didn’t have safety ropes and weren’t properly trained.
Turns out they have a whole history of safety violations
Technically he did in “Civil Defense” when they accidentally triggered the counter-insurgency subroutines on the station. Although he himself ended up getting trapped on the station that was about to blow up so he was stuck helping them disable it.
“It wasn’t directed towards the discussion. I was having a discussion with my daughter. I apologize … extremely,” he said. “And it should not be reflected on the person that was talking at the time.”
It was totally an accident and meant for something else, which is why I immediately resigned.
Do cops really think everyone else is as dumb as they are?
The IRS tried to get me to pay 5 grand in taxes on a forgiven loan that never even existed to begin with. Like they even gave me an account number, I called up the bank (who I’m fully aware I’ve never borrowed money from) and they couldn’t find anything either. No amount of “this loan never existed, I spoke to the bank who confirms this loan never existed, I’m aware of all of my debt and I’m 100% positive I’ve never borrowed from them, what the fuck are you even talking about” would convince them. Finally I asked them to send me their documents supporting the loan, evidently that was enough and they’ve since dropped the issue. Still had to fight them for five years on this bullshit.
I’m not rich either, when you factor in my student loans I have a negative net worth.
Please just fucking retire TNG already. It’s time to move on. Give us that Seven show with a gay captain. I’d watch the hell out of that.

Lying in it
The enshittification of the internet continues unabated.
The new place they moved him to is north of the Arctic Circle so it’s accurate.
Israel only exists because of America’s support. They absolutely can legislate on that, they just choose to legislate for genocide.
