Compared to Trump? Yes, very much so.
how has your life been changed due to Biden during all years as a politician? he picked a prosecutor for a vice and has a pro police stance, he's catholic and now women have no rights, workers rallied and he silenced them with threats to their livelihoods and the minimum wage is still $7.25 with a higher inflation than when he took office
his whole career as politician has been against us the citizens
why does he deserve votes now?
goose meme who took away women's rights?
Who took them away?
And did you actually pay attention to the union negotiation results and impacts on worker rights? Here's a hint, they're stronger than before
Who controls inflation? Do you think the president does?
Because however principled you are about the shittiness of the two-party system - and it is indeed shitty, but it's the one we're stuck in - we have a practical choice of only one of two people, and he's not the other one.
Americans have no choice but the 2-party state: it is futile to even try to change things.
Only in swing states.
Most states you know exactly what the outcome is going to be, no matter how hard you or they campaign.
We understand FPTP and the electoral college.
Where do you get your news, champ?
House price inflation has slowed since biden came into office. The NLRB is much improved. The FCC is trying to bring back net neutrality. Theres been half a dozen uses of antitrust laws to keep corporations from consolidating so they can fire workers and jack up prices for consumers. Marijuana is being reduced in schedule such that it can be used medically.
I would say that Biden has - to any working person who is even half paying attention - been one of the best presidents for average people in the last 50 years. Its a low bar but credit where its due.
rescheduled to get more regulations put in place like what happened with nicotine vaping being regulated nearly out of existence with only one or two megacorps allowed mixed with sus products by iffy companies skirting regulations
