1. trans rights have not been protected under Biden, and have begun to be stripped away without any backlash
  2. didn’t codify Roe, now it’s dead under him
  3. Ha, Biden loves oil
  4. People still go bankrupt due to medical debt
  5. He’s trying to sanction a cure for diabetes because it’s more profitable to treat than it is cure.
  6. it got shot down, Biden still owes me over 10,000 dollars
  7. not enough busses, not enough trains.
  8. literally supported segregation
  9. just repeating bullet points with different wording for filler
  10. covid is being swept under the rug as if it no longer exists, and a new bird flu is likely brewing in addition to that due to our fucked up food industry.
  11. cant even legalize weed. Maybe he’ll free a couple high profile black people before the election though.
  12. yes
  13. define “ceasefire”

Just because literally every liberal president during your lifetime was a disappointment at best doesn’t mean the next one will be too

Even if those liberal politicians had the best of intentions, what do they have to say for the fact they have done NOTHING to resist the white ruling class’ SIX DECADE LONG TEMPER TANTRUM over the civil rights act? Hell, Biden did nothing about the oil cartels raising prices together as one likely as protest over a non-republican in office.

“You have to vote for Biden for now, but once we get ranked choice voting you can vote third party.”

“Oh, does Biden support ranked choice voting then?”

“No.”

Canadian Obama literally ran on ending FPTP, pretended to evaluate the alternatives, then said there was no consensus on which alternative to switch to so why bother.

Changing election systems means power giving up the path by which it got to power. Guess how likely that is.

RCV/instant runoff doesn’t actually create opportunities for third parties either. Plenty of places use it and still have duopolies or single party rule. There’s also fptp systems that have multiple parties engaged in government.

It’s almost like political power doesn’t flow from votes.

It’s an improvement and I could see some argument for holding your nose and voting for a lib if they were actually gonna do it, but when the candidate doesn’t even pretend to support it it’s just another reason to oppose them, it’s entirely self-defeating.

So…how’s those Trans rights and DEI doing under Biden?

Nearly 100,000 transgender youth live in states that banned access to health care, sports, or school bathrooms in 2023

Over 20 states banned medical care for transgender people.

Over 400 anti LGBTQ laws proposed 2023

Over 300 in 2024 just in January

Hate Crimes Against Queer and Trans Students Quadrupled in States With Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws

Healthcare reform? What healthcare reform? A single drug? OMG M4A AT LONG LAST!

Majority of debtors to US hospitals now people with health insurance how’s that Obamacare doing? Still want to keep kicking the can pn actual reforms?

Meanwhile in super commie land

Chinese scientists cure diabetes using stem cells in world first

Infrastructure? is actually doing great works, high speed rail, and modern architectural achievements. We aren’t building shit anymore.

Biden’s Green Mold Deal isn’t even enough to keep up with the damage done by climate enhanced storms. It is 1/10th of a limited period of even begining to address what we need to do.

Loan forgiveness? Oh you mean all the people who you say qualify but when they apply you deny them or say “oh…it’s only a small part. We didn’t mean everything if you qualify…oh and then you had to have had the money paying on that debt…so if you couldn’t pay or if your debt is recent, then welcome to pragmatism honey”

Oh, you expect Biden to do anything about the red states banning trans existence? Those are STATE ISSUES!

Also, yes, Biden does indeed have the ability to completely bypass Congress on matters of sending colossal amounts of weaponry to states actively wiping out millions of people. That’s just how things landed! The system just happens to be this way! Total inability to do good things and not even vague oversight when doing bad things! If you think this is bad, then vote! …nobody is running against changing those systematic issues except third parties, and the two parties have no reason to change this and many, MANY reasons to keep the current system intact, and we have no real way to exert power over them due to our refusal to even withdraw our votes let alone take major co-ordinated national action, but…
