Lies like this is why Trump won.
If you spent any time at all looking into his speeches and voting record, you'd know he was a Nixon Democrat, a Reagan Democrat, a Bush Democrat, and a VP pick to appease the GOP racists Democrat. And trump won because all of the media is right wing per the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which I will bet - without looking right now- Biden voted for.
Let's look at his record as president:
Pro choice
Pro marriage equality
Increased funding to the IRS
Raised corporate taxes
The largest investment in addressing climate change in history and rejoined the Paris Accords
Appointed a liberal black woman to the supreme court along with over 200 more liberal judges
Enacted student debt relief for more than 5 million people
Capped healthcare costs for Medicare and allowed the negotiation of prescription drug prices
Enhanced background checks on guns and closed loopholes
Halted all federal executions
That's the antithesis of the modern Republican party
That IRS one was a huge mistake. Instead of going after wealthy cheats he sic'd them on any depositing $600. They're coming after me now, having made up a number without providing any evidence that I owe them and even presented numbers which show that they owe ME. The IRS is NEVER against the wealthy.
Doesn't matter if you agree with it. Funding the IRS is a Democratic position, not a Republican one.
Sure, the bad guys won the election and screwed up the country. But for a brief moment in time, a lot of people got to feel really smug.
