Fuck Biden and fuck Putin.

(Even though I did vote for Biden in 2020 and plan to again in 2024 if he's the Democratic nominee.)

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 82 points 1 year ago

Exactly this. Fuck this lesser of two evils that I have to vote for because two party systems suck.

But no one is loud about that because it's obvious.

That said, he's done some pretty ok things in office. He's just also done some pretty horrible things. Net net, I think it's been mediocre.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

whats your measuring stick? mine is other presidents and by that he is near the top for me.

Obligatory: Fuck Biden, Fuck Putin, Fuck Netanyahu/IDF and anybody else complicit in killing innocent people and/or oppressing people.

TokenBoomer, are you feeling ok? You’re defending Biden, which is kinda weird

Edit: downvoters must not know TokenBoomer lol

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m fine. Just thought it was funny. Also, Russia can suck my 🍄. And Biden’s supporting a genocide.

The CIA got him, as we speak the real Boomer is taking the Black Van Tour

Eat shit Russia we all see you. Go drown in a puddle 🖕

A dog is better than Trump, better than Putin.

If you can't see that, then you are an enemy of life, and many including this one.

I fight fascists every day.

I'm TIRED of weakness having such a loud voice.

I'm TIRED of our weakest showing their bellies and pussies to their would be killers and rapists on the Internet while real ass people fight in the street and in jails and in Ukraine.

I am currently incarcerated and will be released and will fight again and again and again and again

Fuck you weaklings, we will march over you too 😂

More powerful than you can imagine, completely ready to die, in love with death to get things done.

You deserve your misery, Russian.

Wait are some people actually pro biden? People like him?

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He's actually done some good during his term, so yes. He's done a ton to combat climate change, reinforced many govt agencies so they can actually serve their purpose,

Are there democratic candidates I would prefer over him? Absolutely. But this is politics, it's all about realistic compromise. I'd rather have him than a traitorous conman spearheading a party of insurrectionists.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

I do. No surprise billing, the omnibus bill, irs actually doing taxes, interest from student loan can't go above original principal along with payments based on income along with forgiveness after 20 years. I can't point to a president that has gotten more done that effect be personally in a beneficial way in my lifetime.

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Trump was liable to say or do anything. He was a complete loose canon. It was terrifying.

Biden is boring. Boring is good. I'd rather be bored than terrified. Is he the best president ever? No. But is he better than Trump? Absolutely.

I'm pro-Biden. What a pathetic attempt to shame.

"Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian troll" such a shit tier DNC shill take. Next up whining about Bernie Sanders and dusting the Ruth baeder Ginsburg action figure.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

Well that's just wrong.

I think Biden is generally doing ok. He's obviously not exciting or inspiring and he's probably not handling the Israel/Palestine situation very well (though that whole situation is pretty fucked regardless and I'm not picking sides), but he's getting a decent amount of stuff done. I wish we had a better democratic candidate and I wish there was a republican candidate who wasn't a complete nut job. I also wish there were more than 2 viable parties and we had ranked choice voting, but here we are.

[-] te_st_user@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

If there was a better option than "guy who weakly calls for a ceasefire" I'd love to hear it. The only other viable side is all but verbally calling for a total genocide of Palestinians in Gaza if not beyond

[-] dasgoat@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Notice that people who say Biden is ok are quiet about the Gaza genocide

Russia genocide = bad Biden genocide = bad

There you go.

[-] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Uggh yall do realize almost everyone in power is bad, right? It really isn't that hard. There's only a little bit of nuance here. Maybe Putin's made it a little higher up on the human garbage tier list but so what?

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

sorry nope. not being perfect is not the same as being horrifically bad.

[-] kttnpunk@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"not perfect" is what I'd call the best democrats personally. On a good day. Joe Biden is enabling genocide, building Trump's wall, and letting republicans attempt to legislate people like me out of existence -plus he's been shitting the bed on covid-19 since day one. I do NOT think he falls into that category being as he's a self-proclaimed centrist and capitalist and I think he deserves FAR greater scrutiny considering he stole the democratic nomination in 2020 from the massively-more-popular-among-constituents Sanders and moved the goalposts for the party further right, and maybe even the whole country

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

what historical president would have instead of him during this time? It has to have been an existing president. Not an ideal figure in your head or someone who has never had the job so it can't be proven how bad they would actually have been.

I hate Biden.

Russia is a horrible place for LGBT people and general dissenters. The draft and war has been disastrous for the economy. Russia having any clout internationally is mind boggling.

I hate Biden.

Does the republican party like Russia?

I feel like the reps and tankies equally hate Biden.

Nobody gives a fuck about tankies.

What about those of us who think both equally as bad?

One of them is currently enabling the genocide of Palestinians. I'm not American though.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

Either you all are being intentionally disingenuous, or you're significantly misinformed. There's a difference between passive support of a ally doing terrible things and actively starting a war yourself and doing terrible things.

Did you all suddenly forget about Ukraine?

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

But bOtH sIdEs!!!1!!!

[-] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

I'm Ukrainian so it's kinda hard to forget what Russia is doing to my people. I've fought against Russians.

Also, "supporting an ally doing terrible things" sure is a funny way of saying "enabling genocide of a people".

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, let's deflect from my point entirely. Such good faith conversation on your part.

Equally bad?? Putin is trying to criminalize LGBT+ right now. What is comparable to that that Biden has ever done? That is one thing, but we could go down the list if you want.

I dislike the Russians just as much as Biden. Biden is just the one "in charge" of the country I'm in.
