not allowed to recognize things like this happening.

That's not why posts like this get downvoted. It's instead because these posts are complaints about things that republicans are most responsible for. It's silly.

That, and people generally don't agree with conservative politics.

Not my name. And I don't bother posting on things that are silly.

Or would you prefer me to say "this is silly" on every other post you make?

DeSantis fails again to denounce the open fascists in his state.

Well of course. A fascist will never call out another fascist. At least not until it suits them.

the left overwhelmingly wants the government to take more of my money

This is a sweeping generalization. The way to move forward on budget is to stop wasting so much money on corporate bailouts, the military, and to actually fix our shit show of a tax system so that the rich pay their fair share. If we did so, we would have more than enough money to fund the social programs the left wants while decreasing taxes/heathcare costs.

take more control over private enterprise.

Corporations have proven themselves unable to self regulate. They poison our land, water, and sky. They pay poverty wages. They pay executives hundreds of times as much as average workers. They hoard their stolen wealth in tax free, offshore accounts. They price gouge and monopolize. They lay off workers without a second thought. They intentionally make commodities and basic necessities scarce to drive up prices. And they do this all while bribing politicians to keep things this way.

So damn right they need to be controlled better. They can't be trusted to be ethical or sustainable, so they must be regulated.

Old/retired is social security/401k/pension.

Not everybody has payed enough into social security to get any use out of it, and not everybody has a 401k/pension. And that especially goes for pensions.

Chronically ill is social security.

Unless I'm missing something, people who are chronically ill are typically on medicaid, not social security. But my question was really about the "heal to a point where they can get off social programs part".

There are many people who will never, for the rest of their life, or for a very long part of their life have no ability to heal or become able bodied. Are you suggesting they get booted off these programs anyways?

and work to remove someone from the social program.

What happens to people who are chronically ill, unable to work or heal to a point where they can get off of social programs?

What about the old/retired?

Do you have a source to support that claim? Because that sounds like bullshit.

On kbin it is displaying 1 upvote, 1 downvote. It seems lemmy has a tendency to miss some comments/votes. I appologize for not considering that first.

Still, the votes on this post are a poor test of Biden's approval/disapproval. Instead you should look at the actual polling. I think if you were to actually ask the 8 downvoters, they have done so because this post is just silly. Because again, nobody likes Biden to begin with.

A single downvote? That is what tells you that Biden is well liked?

Why would that be your litmus test for popularity when you can easily google his current popularity (which is at 40% approve 55% disapprove)?

Apparently Lemmy likes him.

I don't know how you could get that impression given the existence of lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear.

I thought lemmy thought he was a right wing fascist and senile.

He is definitely right wing and senile, but I wouldn't quite put him in the fascism camp. Imperialist on the other hand, sure.
