Biden does one thing wrong. And that is Gaza. There is a shit ton he has done right:
Supreme Court reform
Student loan debt relief
Healthcare reform
Renewable energy act
Banking reform
Agriculture subsidies to be ecological
Helping local farms
Weed restriction reclassification
Tech privacy restrictions
Making medicare more accessible
Veteran affairs
And quite a few more. Give credit where credit is due. He's worked hard for us.
Supreme Court reform? Did Clarence get the boot without anyone noticing? Are there more than 9 now?
I think it was yesterday he filed for term limits? As well as an ethics code? It's still early. But it's a step in the right direction.
A toothless, self imposed ethics code, and he sat on term limits for 3 years
He's asking for congress to impose the ethics code. I believe the people on NPR politics called the democrats handling of the Supreme Court for the last 50 years political malpractice. Only makes sense they would chose the least impactful route to try to fix it, 50 years too late.
Sanctioning and providing material support for a genocide is not in the same category as any of these things.
Why pick that and why pick that now, this time? Why not before? Why not other genocides? Is it because you look good in a keffiyeh?
"Why do you care about the Gaza's genocide" is telling on yourself
Allow me to spell it out for you:
"Why do you care about the genocide of Palestinians NOW vs the last several decades of Israel's apartheid state? Why do you care about the genocide of Palestinians but not of trans people in America? Why do you care about the genocide of Palestinians but not of Ukrainians?"
This shouldn't be hard to figure out. People chose this issue now because they can afford to ignore the consequences of a Trump (or even just GOP) administration. They don't have to deal with what happens and that fact allows them to prioritize one genocide over another.
You're assuming a lot there about my politics, friend.
