I don't even disagree in principle with them that Biden is not the ideal candidate, it's just abject cowardice to take that position NOW, as opposed to 15 months ago.
Maybe a rethink after the incredible job he’s done as President? I did not support him in the 2020 primary, but he has completely exceeded my expectations.
And before you say it, no, it doesn't matter that he's not in charge of Israel. If a person knowingly and willingly aids in a genocide, up to and including picking fights with the UN to defend said genocide, they are also committing genocide.
Not to mention the loss of reproductive rights, trans rights, minority rights, workers rights, children's rights, all under Biden.
But, he's doing an incredible job.
Just looking at your bio, Biden told people who wanted court reform to shove it up their ass and has presided over a massive spike in the cost of housing, which idk if he’s ever even mentioned. His main legislative achievement was corporate welfare masquerading as climate change legislation
This is not true. Sinema and Manchin said they wouldn’t consider court reform and he would need at least 50 Senators to pass it.
He’s overseen the largest expansion of renewable energy.
The President isn’t really directly responsible for housing prices, but I’m sure there’s more he could do.
What's it like to be so high on your own supply you think Biden is actually doing ANYTHING AT ALL that resembles being an effective president for anybody but corporate oligarchy and the warhawks?
Literally, nothing you can point out that has been 'for the people' was actually for the people, it was for his image and re-electability because they know all the garbage shit he's doing on the other end of the fence.
And his little political marks like you gobble it up and take victory laps while the planet and the people on it are literally DYING crushed under the capitalist heel of policies Biden supports and in fact enables!
Judges, labor, getting out of Afghanistan, basically ending drone strikes, lowering unemployment, rising wages, dramatically increasing renewable energy production, ending the Saudi pricing monopoly on gas, overtime pay regs, getting rid of junk fees, reshoring semi-conductor manufacturing, etc.
Ok I'm still assuming (probably a little markish of me to assume so) that you're attempting to reply in good faith so here goes:
Judges: You have literally no room to talk w/ the judicial chaos going on right now
Drone strikes: We're trying to build a fucking "Drone Corps" wing of defense in 2025
You mean the thousands of dead children in Gaza who were red misted by bombs Biden gave Israel? Or the now over 1 million US citizens dead from COVID because Biden completely fucked up the response to it? Or the loss of Roe? Or refusing to stack the court leading us to a monarchy?
lol. Yeah. Incredible. Simply stunning. I’d built up some expectations and he came through and leveled them. Blew me away. Knocked my socks (and feet) off. Put all my doubts in a shallow grave.
I think Biden is a horrible candidate and disagree with most of his policies (except mainly NBLR and public investments) but withdrawing now because donors and newspapers decided so might do more harm to Dems than staying in the race.
