Someone should tell Biden that. Cause i fall into 2 of those 3 categories and I’m pretty discouraged with how he is responding to the protests and his handling of Gaza (supporting genocide).
I’m sure minorities don’t like it when other minorities get treated like crap and bombed with our $$. And young people on campuses are getting tear-gassed and arrested while Biden refuses to change direction or even send a message to the colleges cracking down on their students.
People can say he’s not Trump all they want - but at the end of the day, when people are getting beaten for protesting and exercising their free speech and citizens desires ignored by their reps so that money can go to mass-murder….. being “not Trump” isn’t enough. You’re already 1 foot into the grave that ppl say Trump will lead the country to.
I was very disappointed by Biden's speech shaming people for being mildly disruptive, like that's the point of protesting, but I will still vote for him.
He's not much better than Trump on handling Israel and Palestine being that there is still a genocide occuring, but he is still better than just being "not Trump". He has been working towards a permanent ceasefire and has been air dropping aid into Gaza vs Trump who said he would help Israel "finish the job". With Biden we also got a ban on non-compete clauses, a strong economy and job market, 144 billion dollars forgiven in student loan debt, restored net neutrality, pardons for nonviolent marijuana offenders, reschedule of marijuana, restored LGBTQ rights in education, and so much more.
We should also remind ourselves of what the Trump administration gave us. Raised taxes for lower and middle class people, lowered taxes for the rich, protestors snatched off the streets in unmarked vans, pardons for rich Trump yes men, lowered taxes for the rich again, death of net neutrality, stripped education rights for LGBTQ individuals, stripped abortion rights, a dumb border wall that is already falling apart and easy to climb, and so many more things that hurt lower and middle class people. We were heading into a recession under Trump too. If he gets another term, we will have all of those previous things at a worse level than before plus a dictator, executions of anyone who disagrees with or challenges Trump, death to net neutrality, restoration of non-compete clauses, nation wide ban on abortions/IVF and contraception, death of child labor laws, stripping children from single parents and LGBTQ parents, genocide of Mexico, genocide of LGBTQ people, and so many more awful things that you can find laid out in Project 2025.
