that would be true - and i say this as a left-winger who would crawl through broken glass to vote against Trump - were it not for Gaza. you can't hand-wave Gaza and call it maturity. i don't ever want to be so self-important that i get angry about people i like and admire having an ethical line.
it’s the best domestic policy delivery for americans since fdr and why as a 2 time bernie voter/donor/volunteer i was excited about 2024 until october 7.
Yes and the choice is binary here. Does your entirely justified outrage over this horror justify empowering Donald Trump and all his cronies? Do you think Trump's relationship with Bibi will be better for Palestinians than a Democratic president? www.reuters.com/world/us/don...
Very fair but it’s worth remember who was pro- and anti-Biden on the left on 10/6/23 and there were an enormous number in the second camp who swapped “Biden inflation” or “Biden no student loan forgiveness” for “Gaza” over 24 hours. Doesn’t minimize others’ principled stances to be honest about this
Yeah. I don't love every bit of his domestic policy but it was generally pretty okay. Better than I expected in places with some notable disappointments. But I cannot fault people who find his foreign policy to be a line they can't cross.
I take those concerns more seriously from folks who are aware of the Sudan and Tigray massacres, and of which branch of government decides to fund Israeli arms.
Where is the left wing policy? Where is this magical great policy? They keep saying it's there but I'm not seeing it. Obama did Obamacare, that was actually pretty shit but I don't think that the kind of person who does "Biden = FDR" posts thinks that
For those folks on the left for whom Gaza is the defining line, sure. But we both know there were plenty of people on the left who hated biden on October 6 2023 too
It is not that he is good domestically and bad internationally, it's not that simple.
He is always full on backing the blue. His FDA/DEA has been horrendous to chronic pain and ADHD patients. His declaring freedom from masks and COVID early...
I'm voting against Trump but Biden has a list of fails.
the left *did* give him credit for quite a few things, including afghanistan when they were the only ones. the trouble is who is reporting that, and who is reading about it?
ex: the congressional left, "the squad," helped pass most of Biden's accomplishments more reliably than the centrists did
Yeah, I am not ok with our weapons used in killing families, and I would understand if we had another 9/11. I am not saying it’s right or just but I understand why people call us the great Satan and want to kill us for this. Trump is far worse but Biden is being dog walked by Bibi.
