Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.
Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.

Its less cruel to vote Blue, so you shuld still do it. Its whats called harm reduction.
Declared the pandemic over. Removed most, if not all economic and healthcare protections for affected by the pandemic.
Still have immigrant concentration camps, just rebranded.
Billions wasted on trying to create a forever war for Russia.
Half hearted attempt to reduce college debt.
No attempts to protect abortion or LGBTQ+ rights.
Paltry environmental protection policies. Awful response to climate disasters that have gotten worse due to climate change.
I could keep going, but you get the point.
I’m going to keep going lol
Meddled in the rail unions’ contract negotiations, then he and his party broke their strike after his corporate-friendly PEB’s agreement was rejected by the unions. And no, the crumbs that were thrown at the rank-and-file after the fact does not make up for it, no matter how many flowery press releases from union leadership get pushed out there.
Opposes universal healthcare, doesn’t even want a public option (but sure as hell campaigned like he did!). Likely not going to hear a peep about healthcare in the lead up to 2024, and this is with an ongoing pandemic that’s already taken the lives of over two million people and disabled tens of millions more.
Wants more cops and more funding for cops after sucking all of the oxygen out of the Black Lives Matter movement and neutering all of their demands. Favors more surveillance and more privacy invasion.
Doubled down on Trump’s immigration policies, sanctions on Cuba, and saber rattling over China, blew up Nordstream, bombed Syria (really, Biden’s entire foreign policy has been and is astoundingly inhumane and terrifying, even for a US ghoul).
Continued to retain or has re-hired plenty of Trump (and Obama…and Bush) appointees who have demonstrably awful track records.
Weak-to-no leadership even within his own caucus that has resulted in failures to raise wages, build infrastructure, strengthen regulatory powers, or combat an openly corrupt Supreme Court (plus, he’s rewarded the so-called obstructionists: Manchin and his family get pipelines and favors and special perks, Sinema gets to sit at the BBB negotiating table); that ended up doubling childhood poverty after spending a year touting its reduction by only half for some reason; that led to countless unnecessary deaths from nixing all sorts of programs and protections from a pandemic he pretends doesn’t exist even harder and even more callously than his predecessor.
Above all, is simply Reagan in a blue tie, who is to the right of Reagan on several issues, more senile, and ultimately serves the entrenched power of capital and bourgeois interests that are destroying the planet. On its face, that should be enough for a leftist to hate his guts, but I also think he’s a racist piece of shit, a sex pest, anti-labor, a serial liar, and an all-around slimeball and shitheel, and I base this on his entire miserable life as a politician, which has seemingly been memory-holed ever since Super Tuesday.
None of the above is “harm reduction,” and the diminishing returns of using the specter of a Republican doing worse only reinforces my belief that the Democrats are aware that there isn’t any effective distance between the parties other than aesthetics and won’t do a thing to change that perception, seeing as we get Republican policies regardless of who’s in office.
The vaccine was supposed to end the pandemic, but when not enough people got it to hit 80% immunity or whatever, liberal governments around the world were just like “uh, we pretend anyways?”
Also, I do think that marriage rights have been federally protected in legislation after ROE was struck down and they eyed going after gay and interracial marriage.
Still, I’d of course like to see him using federal land in red states to provide abortion access.
That said, I do also think things would be worse right now if Trump had remained president.
It’s not a sterilizing vaccine. It slightly reduces the chance of infection but it mostly just reduces the chance of hospitalization and death. The current vaccines cannot stop the spread of the virus.
The actual language of the “marriage protections” just lets the states do whatever they want. It’s not real protection.
I’m specifically pissed because they haven’t reduced harm
Fucker still owes me $600
Covid is over! One of my friends can’t taste half their food, but covid is over! Just like Roe.
Plus $20k for my student loans
Which, to the best of my knowledge, he can still cancel with a signature.
Yes but then the loan companies would be upset! And we all know democracy is when businesses have more say in politics than the people
Can you help me win over some voters on the fence? I tried explaining to my coworkers that Biden cutting their food stamps by more than half was harm reduction and good for the soul of the nation, but they just won’t donate $50 to the Beto O’Rouke alderman campaign
If he cant agree that people like Ron deSantis are Fashists, im sorry i wish i knew how to help. If he can recognise Fashists why would he not want to vote against that?
Biden is also a fascist
That’s right, we harm-reduced the hell out of Roe v Wade
