"crushing it" might be a bit superlative but sure
Keep in mind both of the user captured in the screenshot are paying X/Twitter users
I mean in terms of what he's actually achieved he probably the best president we've had in my lifetime, and considering his lack of control in the houses, that's pretty big.
So HR left us with just two choices, assured us they were the best of the best, and of course it's two geriatrics.
... one of whom is a rehire that tried to lynch us when we laid him off the first time. Good job HR, you wonder why people hate you.
Office politics sure do suck.
*someone who you'd already fired and then tried to blow up the building reapplied...
I just want to point out there's a third guy running and he's only got a mild case of brain worms.
There a multiple people running, the only third party candidate that is actually on the ballot in all 50 states (RFK is not on all 50 states ballots) Chase Oliver gets no airtime, the msm rather talk to you about brain worms then a practical candidate.
Yeah but Chase wants to completely get rid of all tariffs, so, I mean, some of his policies aren't the greatest. He's also got absolutely no idea how healthcare works, wants to completely abandon all our military bases, and he doesn't even mention global warming in his policies.
Guns? Great. Drugs? Great. Crime and punishment? Great. Privacy? Great.
But most of his power and economics policies would completely dog-fuck the US economy and our ability to negotiate on the international stage.
Good idea, let's trick half of the Trump voters into voting for him instead so Biden has an easy win
What a perfect analogy, now let's talk about why your company only opened up the application process to two ancient terrible people.
And had already been fired from said position...
This whole crushing it narrative... Are we going to pretend like all working Americans aren't struggling?
Like sure Biden as corpse is better than Trump but he's not more likeable and he isn't doing a good job.
- $35 cap on Insulin
- Student loan cancellations
- Restoring net neutrality
- Banning non-compete agreements
- Pardoned people convicted for simple marijuana possession convictions
- Funding important infrastructure projects
- Banning abusive and junky bank fees
- Going after landlords who are price fixing
- Minimum 15% tax on corporations, who otherwise use every trick in the book to hide their profits in tax shelters overseas
- Rejoined the Paris Accord
- Antitrust actions against Amazon, Google, Apple, various airlines, book publishers, even meat packers
- Blocking mergers that would reduce competition, like Krogers acquiring Albertsons
- Reducing fees real estate agents collect for home sales
- Requiring airlines to refund passengers for delayed or canceled flights
- Automatically recognizing a union when a corporation interferes with a union vote
- Massive climate wins in the Inflation Reduction act
- Giving IRS funding so it can go after the rich tax cheats, instead of just the poor people who make small errors
- Allowing Medicare to actually negotiate drug prices, instead of being forced to accept whatever the drug companies decide
And, this is despite a senate where Sinema and Manchin supposely give democrats a razor slim majority, but in reality they block almost everything. And, despite a congress that is currently republican controlled and block even the things their constituents want because they don't want to let Biden have a win.
In what way (other than Gaza) is he not doing a good job?
He didn't fix every problem ever and hasn't accomplished world peace, therefore he's just as bad as Trump!!
These anti Biden morons on lemmy are really getting tiresome.
Are we going to pretend that working Americans haven't been struggling since mid 1980 at the very least.
I'm not and it's only gotten worse. Republicans and Democrats have both made it that way. I'll admit the Republicans are worse, but the Democrats haven't helped either.
It takes seconds to shatter a vase, and hours to glue it back together. That’s the difference.
As an outsider watching US Politics in abject horror - this pervasive both-sides-bad arguement is utter bullshit.
Hillary Clinton was an imperfect candidate, but she would not have appointed three bat-shit crazy judges to the Supreme Court who would the. Go onto gutting almost a century’s worth of civil and environmental rights.
Complaining that Dems aren’t doing enough is media spin, owned and paid for by Billionaires and the corporations they control. A lot of good work gets done that you don’t hear about, because if you did - you’d actually be incentivised to vote for Dems, and the 0.1%’ simply can’t have that.
This upcoming election is without hyperbole the most important since the US’s founding - this is your Fall of Rome moment. Trump needs to be defeated in order for your nation to continue to exist in any manner that you could continue to recognise. The very ideals of the Constitution- life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - are at stake.
So make sure you get out and vote, as this could very well be your last opportunity to do so while it still matters.
And if you manage to do the right thing - get involved with politics on your local level, and participate in the primaries. Help pick the candidates that should run, who share your agenda - but when it comes to the general elections, vote against those who share none of your values.
There’s a saying that Democrats need to fall in love with a candidate, while Republicans fall in line. You need to fight them on their terms, the high moral ground is built on sandy foundations and your opponent is armed with shovels and an intent on seeing you destroyed.
Just a note, from one political activist to another: saying "this election is the most important election in history EVERY SINGLE TIME" just gets people exhausted, and make them develop a disbelief in your words. People could not have lived through several "the most importan election in history" in a row.
Why are these the choices!?!?! lol
Because the democracy is a farce. The parties control their primary elections and can rig them however they want. The US legalized bribery with Citizens United and again last week with Snyder v. United States.
Interviews are way too heavily weighted and the most subjective part of a job application. Go for the data.
What's the context for "were crushing it"?
Maybe they were talking about Gaza? He seems to be crushing them.
Doing very well
Most progressive president in the history of the country, record low unemployment, capping the price of insulin
"Most progressive" is a very low bar to clear given the presidents we've had. Unemployment is not controlled by the president. The credit for capping insulin prices should go to Bernie Sanders, who would've been the president starting back in 2016 if the democratic party hadn't insisted on crowning Hillary. We could've had a much better president and no Trump!
It's okay because trying to blow up the building was an official act. The guys he appointed decided so.
You probably wouldn't hire a convicted felon either, but here we are.
"were crushing it" as I'm crushing thousands of Palestinians under rubble made by US bombs that he gleefully supplied to a warmongering fascist?
But when hiring for a job, you don't only have two choices you have an entire pool of candidates which you can vett.
This is like your recruiter telling you that they narrowed down all the candidates for you, you have no say in that process and you can pick between the two worst candidates.
You don't have to hire either of them
That's patently not true. The HR department has dumped two choices in your lap and you literally have to choose between them.
It sucks, and is something we absolutely need to fix in the future... but ignoring reality won't help anyone.
we absolutely need to fix in the future...
You do realize this is exactly the problem and the reason half of eligible voters sit at home on election day. Keep putting up shitty geriatrics and see how long it takes you to reach your future fix.
