I think the media is reporting Biden's accomplishments accurately when they happen, however nobody is really interested. The news media (particularly on TV) thrives on controversy, conflict, and violence, even if they have to exaggerate. "If it bleeds, it leads". Things working the way they ought to simply doesn't drive attention.

I often joked during the 2020 election that Biden's campaign should have been "Make Politics Boring Again". Good governance shouldn't make headlines. But there are some people who assume that if someone is out of the news, they must be irrelevant.

Not just the media, but perhaps worse, unverified strangers on the Internet though social media. The biggest thing that pisses me off is every time I the lesser of two evils argument spouted of paired with Biden's handing of something that 100% should fall in the domain of Congress to solve. So may things that historically have been attributed to the President were ultimately created and decided on by Congress and the public attributes way more power to the President than they actually have because of it.

If we want actual support to Gaza we need to push our congressional members to provide that support. Which is laughable because congress can't even pass a bill that had bipartisan support because half of one floor bends knee to the will of a private citizen. Biden keeps having to overreach his office with executive orders and policies that aren't backed by law and as such are highly transient and subject to constitutional review allowing them too be thrown out, as well as peace time commander-in-chief powers to do things like supply airdrops or back door old equipment sales to their other countries to affected groups.

The difference between Ukraine and Gaza is that unlike Ukraine, have does not have a unified Palestinian force that the US can safely supply arms to (HAMAS has actively proven that they are not the good guys) and that we're legally obligated to supply arms to Israel, which we are not to Russia. Biden can only sit loudly at Israel stating that genocide is bad threaten that this could lead to a withdrawal of US support, but he can't actually withdraw US support. Congress needs to provide a bill for him to sign that does that.

On a side note... I'm fairly convinced that a good chunk of the rhetoric spouted to not vote for Biden likely originated from foreign sources to plant the Idea in people's minds and get them to repeat it everywhere because on the surface it feels right. The vote any vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump rhetoric probably exists for similar reasons, mostly to help reinforce the thought that both sides are the same because it's quite easily proven not true and likely increases the odds that someone it's used to convince to vote for Biden ultimately ends up either withholding their vote in protest or voting for someone else out of spite.

They did get nominal sick leave. 3 days I think, which is better than the 0 they had previously, but still effectively useless.

edit FOUR sick days and the ability to convert 3 PTO days to sick days:

how can anyone that age be competent

not to be mean but the mind does age it does not magically stop because your name is Biden he has reached that age

he told those rail workers they could not strike or they would lose retirement and shit

he threatened them with their livelihoods fuck that old crony he promised to raise the minimum wage and fight for us workers

he hasn't quite the opposite

Silent Genocide Joe and Prosecutor Kamala Harris are not America's saviors neither is Trump

just older people refusing to let a younger generation take the reins while cashing checks from the corporations same as Trump and making sure the younger people are disenfranchised enough to not to take a stand

fucking sick either candidate get any support with the suffering and misery they have wrought

👆👆👆👆👆

This guy thinks.

Getting real tired of choosing between bad and worse, and knowing full well if I don't support bad I'll get stuck with worse because of the duopoly.

Biden may not care more about average Americans than America, but he at least cares more about Americans than Trump does.

If you want a president that cares more about Americans than America, then you'll love Joe Biden. If we compare republican to Democrat options of the past, you'd have to go back to Bush senior before you could even find a competitor to Biden. Before that, I think you're back to Eisenhower.

Biden does the best he can, but the president's powers are limited. Even when he tries to exercise them faithfully, he's stopped by the republican supreme court.

To reduce those complex issues to single sentence, overly simplified questions is willfully disengenous.

Unlike the orange baboon, he means well. He's just so steeped in neoliberalism that he thinks he knows better than we do what we need.

Probably spot on.

I know, he needs to step up his game. I want to vote for Dark Brandon.

Please name the candidate that has a significant chance of winning that you think people should vote for.

You don’t sound American at all.
