More people died from covid in the same period of time after Biden took office compared to Trump before. Biden lifted the mask requirement on transit. Biden ended the public health emergency. Biden allowed Medicaid to kick people off again, and SNAP and unemployment to reduce payments again. Biden ended free covid testing. Trump said “less tests = less covid”, Biden made it policy. Under Biden, it was decided that employers cannot be held liable for giving their employees covid. Under Biden, the government stopped tracking covid cases in the same way, leading to more spread and worse information.

Biden declared the pandemic is over, when it is not.

You do understand that this happened because of the supreme court, and not because of Biden, right? And the supreme court was able to do this because of Trump. Could you explain what Biden should have done to protect abortion rights on a federal level?

I get the impression no one in the senior dems actually cared about abortion. Pelosi saying it wasn’t important, multiple failures to pass legislation. The unforgivable acceptance of fash scotus’ lies when they said they weren’t going to overthrow roe. They’ve never done anything to protect abortion on the national level, and the simplest explanation is they don’t give a shit.

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.

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?

Fucker still owes me $600
