I am not American, but I believe in the Biden side someone forgot to add "Genocide enabler"; And yeah I guess it goes on trump's side too. But I wonder if that affected the campaign trail.

There’s a difference between enabler and maximizer.

The dilemma is if most people understand trump would be a maximizer and don’t want it, Biden might be less an enabler.

Ultimately, American people as a whole are the real genocide enabler.

Yea, everyone knows. And it's a painful choice to make regardless of your decision. I resent the conditions that doom us to choose between a cop and a gangster.

Trump was never going to stop any war, but I think the question is about the people who didn't vote. Maybe people don't see viable alternatives? Maybe people are hopeless over there? Why do I keep seeing more and more American immigrants in my country? Maybe people are running from something?

Again, I am a foreigner; But the way I see it; The American government seems very invested on the Genocide of the people of Gaza. On the other hand; The polls I keep seeing on the matter say that American citizens would rather have all that money spent on better healthcare than Giving Israel weapons to kill unarmed civilians.

Now this is just a thought, but maybe, just maybeeee, condemning the indiscriminate killing of those people and running on better healthcare might have improved their chances of winning.

Also maybe that contradiction of morality was a boon to the Republican party to exploit during the election. Like feeding on the hopelessness of a voter base that doesn't support all the decisions of what is supposed to be their party.

There has not, and will likely never be, a US president who is not sympathetic to Israel. It’s just variations of support. Kamala would not have been any different than Biden.

They both support their genocidal garrison state no questions asked.

This isn't the fault of a corrupt politician .... or a corrupt political party ... or a corrupt opposition political party

It's the American people who just blinded accept all this, vote for it, don't question it and do as little as possible about it all and just live with it and hope that it all just goes away on its own.

It's really frustrating people dont want to recognize Biden's accomplishments.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It isn't a great list considering the child tax credit was a provision of the american rescue plan, the pact act is a particularly small bill that targeted military veterans, and there's nothing past 2022.

Recognition of four accomplishments in two years gets buried quick by the inaction and inability of the following the next two.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 3 days ago

And just because you give a bill a name doesn't mean it's effective. The inflation reduction act, did not.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago

Also the IRA is largely getting blocked or repealed. It would have been great had it been implemented but calling it an accomplishment seems like a stretch given the current situation.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

It isn’t a great list

The bar isn't very high.

Yet both are enemies of the workers, play into opportunism, the vast majority of their policies are dictated by business donors and maintain the system that most of us can agree is killing the planet and people. Any minor concessions (that have already been repealed by the way, wonder how that works /s) might make things a little bit comfortable, but is essentially nothing in comparison.

Stop rallying behind the puppets of capitalists, look past the liberal abstraction to see things for what they really are even if media says otherwise.
