Name one thing he did that was worse than what the republicans have done? Voting for Biden this fall doesn't means you have to agree with him. You simply have to agree that having Trump win would be worse. This is like the trolley problem - you're fucked either way but you can decide how fucked you prefer being.
Biden ended pandemic protections while there's still a pandemic.
Biden gave more money to police than trump.
Biden has gotten us involved in a genocide and a proxy war, and is handling them both just about as poorly as you can.
Biden is building more border wall than trump, and the kids are still in cages.
Biden is cracking down on protests.
Everything costs.more due to bad economic policy and his mishandling of the pandemic when he got.elected.
I could.go on, but I'm sure this will all be dismissed, and I will be assured Biden is just a smol bean who can't do anything, but here's a list of all the reasons he's somehow the most effective president..
Or let me guess. Trump is worse
Lol, are you for real?
Biden did worse things for America during the pandemic?!
You are 100% spreading insanely stupid propaganda.
I won't disagree with anything as it obviously happened other than this. The economic downturn was much more complicated than just Biden. The world is suffering in a very similar way.
The main reason people hate Biden is because people like you keep insisting how great he is, and then when people list their very real complaints you have annexcuse for FUCKING EVERYTHING.
And it happened last time too.
Biden puts out campaign adds showing a signed $2000 check and runs on it as a stimulus check, gets elected, sends everybody $1400 and then lectures everybody who correctly says "Hey what the fuck" by telling them he never said that, you're an idiot if you thought he did, and you should be really grateful to him.
Take that exact approach, lying, lecturing, and co descending and apply it to literally every issue.
That's why hisnpoll numbers are shot, nobody believes a word he says because they're they're exact same fuxking lies he told 4 years ago, we voted for him, nothing got better and a lot of stuff got worse and the people advocating for him still simultaneously lecture you for saying he isn't doing anything and have a long winded excuse for why he can't do anything.
The reason people hate Biden is because I recognize nuance is required to understand complex things like the economy? How does that even make sense?
Hate him for the things you listed. The reason people hate people like you is because you make things personal when there's no reason to or any logic behind it.
I didn't make an excuse for everything I barely even excused one thing let alone espoused how "great" he is, because he isn't.
First fucking sentance.
Suggest if you don't support Biden it's because you don't understand things.
Third sentance dismisses all my criticisms as "non logical"
Do you not realize how much of a condescending piece of shit you sound like.
Also I notice you still haven't been able to point to one fucking thing he's done to actually oppose any of the bad shit he's supposed to be the only one capable of stopping.
That's the big thing, 4 comments later you still haven't been able to name one good thing he's done but you've managed to still lecture and condescend in every one.
"Fuck you you dumb asshole vote for me, no I expressly will not do anything you want and you're an idiot if you think I even could do them"
That message worked great in 2016, I can't wait for you to get the exact results you deserve.
So to answer my original question no you literally can't name a single thing they're doing to oppose republicans but we have to vote for them to oppose republicans thank you for making my point crystal clear.
Lmao OK sure here's just the stuff from the last couple months
Suggesting eliminating the asylum program and completely closing the border to refugees
We're currently drilling more oil than any country anywhere at anytime in history. Biden has exacerbated that by also putting massive tarrifs of renewable technology from other countries further ensuring were gonna blow by all emissions goals.
Continuing his full throated support of an explicit genocide against Palestinians.
Also yes, voting for so.ebody to elect them president does in fact mean you are endorsing his actions it also means you're responsible for actions he takes if elected. It's just you liberals are so deeply unserious you've convinced yourself "you don't have to support him you just have to vote for him" isn't the dumbest fucking thing you could try to say
