so, out of curiosity, what has biden accomplished (or any one, really,) done to stop any of that?

so far, the only thing he's successfully achieved is... increasing the DoJ's focus on domestic terrorism. which, is something, I guess.

After three years of this shit getting worse; why should we believe Biden is able to actually stop it and protect our democracy? it took him two and half, or so, years for him to get the DoJ to assign Jack Smith to investigate trump for Jan 6, and documents, and stuff.

Under Biden we have student load forgiveness, we have a better ftc that actually investigates shit, we had an actual climate deal, and we have support for Ukraine, and have an investigation on trump. With trump we have none of that. We get total facism.

Also voting and protest/revolt are not mutually exclusive. At least under Biden we might not have to become a full on fascist state in the next year.

Most of the Climate deals are corporate subsidies for things they were going to do anyhow... eventually.
As good as the student debt forgiveness is... all of those loans that are being forgiven are loans that should have been forgiven ages ago. There's zero fraud investigation on that. just a "oops. we let you get scammed for years." (sometimes even decades.). Not exactly a brilliant dipslay of ... governance.

Right now we don't even have support for ukraine. so much for that much-vaunted bipartisanship that was one of his key sales pitches.

you do realize that prevailing rhetoric right now is "Don't protest Biden now.... let him win the election first!", right? which is why I'm being down voted when I call Gaza Genocide.

I don't think Biden can protect american democracy. I don't think he has that ability.

"so much for that much-vaunted bipartisanship"

whose fault is that?

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

If Biden can take credit for the infrastructure act getting passed, he can take credit for everything the house does. Or doesn’t do.

(Joking, mostly. But remember his campaign? A major selling point is working across the aisle to get shit done. Seems to have been a niave argument.)

So, he's done nothing to actually protect american democracy. The argument being made by the OC is that he's protecting American democracy. Where's that?

your source is mostly about stuff that Biden has fuck all to do with (crime is state and local; Economics, fed and treasury;) and the stuff he does... he's not done all that much (immigration?) or has gone the wrong way (oil)
