We’ve had the largest investment in renewable energy in our nations history, investment in infrastructure, a reduction in inflation, economic growth for the bottom 20%. His administration has protected access to contraceptives and abortion medications, expanded protections for trans people, and improved the immigration process.

If you think foreign policy was better under trump you’re delusional. Perfect is the enemy of good, we don’t need to love Biden to understand how keeping trump out of power protects millions of vulnerable people.

“Investment in renewable energy” is meaningless. What that means is private companies get tax break and investment incentives. And that means people making startups, getting government funding for the initial investment, and then pocketing the money through the extraction of surplus value from its workers. You start a business for free, pay less in taxes, and that’s it. A business that sells solar panels, a business that’s trying to make carbon capture profitable (read: it’s not), a business painting rooftops white. These are all ultimately meaningless things that don’t do anything to address the problem of climate change. The solution is to string up oil executives on the National Mall and nationalize the industry. Then to stop pulling the shit out of the ground.

Investment in infrastructure basically goes the same way. Incentivize people starting construction companies, get contracts with DOT, hire immigrants and undocumented workers, extract their surplus value while painting crumbling bridges and asphalting roads in rich neighborhoods.

The reduction in inflation was The Fed which is largely separated from The Executive unless republicans are in the white house. They actually know how to put pressure on people. If Trump was still there, we would see a reduction in the acceleration of inflation as well. Please note that inflation has not actually been reduced, the rate at which inflation grows has come down.

There has been no growth for the bottom 20%. They simply stopped measuring most of those people and the rest have either died of covid or been pulled up on the spreadsheets by the wealthy getting wealthier.

His administration just gave up on abortion because they want moderate Republicans instead of radical feminists. And they haven’t protected shit. Republicans will take away contraceptives if they want. Leaving it up to the states is a cop-out.

He sure as shit hasn’t improved the immigration process.

Biden has kill millions of vulnerable people. We’re not talking about being perfect. We’re talking about failing to do even the most minute tiny bit of anything about these problems outside of “let private companies do it” and “states rights.”

If you think Biden is holding back fascism you’re a fucking moron.

Reminder that the nubers for 2022 from BloombergNEF have China spending ($546 billion) nearly 4x as much as the USA on green energy investment.

huh, I guess building the wall & detaining and rejecting asylum seekers against international law counts as “immigration improvement” for liberals.

Literally just whatever Biden is doing is good.

Kind of how he’s like the most pro environment of all time and if you point out he opened up oil drilling to the point were producing more oil than any country ever younget a lecture about how he had to do that and it doesn’t change the fact he’s super good on the environment.

Kindnof like how he’s the most pro labor president that literally took executive action to kill a strike.

Perfect is the enemy of good

What is the acceptable number of Palestinian children for Israel to murder? 100k? 500k? 1m? Do you have any shame at all in going out of your way to defend ethnic cleansing???

I second this. Give me the number. How many dead Palestinians is good enough for you liberal fucks? Count the corpses and then tell me that wanting this to stop is “perfect” and not just basic humanity.

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won’t because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they’ve even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.
