But they did make headlines, that's how we know about these. The FTC and FCC doing their job more is good and makes headlines.

It's good, don't get me wrong. But man it feels like table scraps compared to a lot on what Biden ran on in 2020.

But man it feels like table scraps compared to a lot on what Biden ran on in 2020.

Given that the republiQans retook the house in 2022, what did Biden run on that he hasn’t delivered?

  • Freeing Mexican citizens locked in cages at the border, but has in fact increased the numbers according to the ACLU, and now limiting the numbers of who can come in like fascist Trump wanted
  • The COVID pandemic is still ongoing, we're just ignoring it while I've had friends die from it after it was "over" according to the CDC. Also removing the 14 day expected leave for it to improve ~~companies fucking over sick and healthy workers alike~~ the economy
  • Roe v Wade being reinstated, for the party that "cares about women's rights".
  • Minimum Wage increases (Yes Congress is in charge of the purse, but can he say "please fucking do it so everyone has better income?")
  • Ran on trying to stop cops from shooting innocent civilians, but in his first State of the Union said "We don't need to defund the police, we need to fund the police!" to bipartisan roaring applause. I know he has a fucking cop as a VP, but god damn.
  • And he's not doing anything to stop Project 2025 from getting into place if Trump wins.
  • Could maybe consider giving new arms to Ukraine and stop funding explicit genocide in Palestine.
  • Didn't help the unions during the rail strikes give into the demands for better worker safety and benefits, blocking it like how Reagan blocked the FAA from striking for safety and benefits
  • Still allows Trump-era expansions of spying agencies, that was made public under "constitutional lawyer and defender" Obama, and instated under Dubya.

But we don't have the President saying stupid shit on Twitter every day, so I guess that means we're back to a sane normal, or whatever white cishet liberals need to say to sleep well at night. Ignore the bloodshed of BIPOC and queers, women and their doctors fleeing red states over being arrested for bodily autonomy, and that white nationalists just goosestep freely because its not respectable to tell fascists to fuck off and die, it doesn't impact you, so it's all sane politics and electable!

You are right on every single one of these, but you aren't going to get a response to any of them on here.

Liberals stop caring about immigrants, women, poor people, COVID, etc, as soon as there is a Democrat in power they can make excuses for.

Meanwhile, conservatives never cared about those things?

Is there anyone else? won't somebody please think of the children!

[–] anticolonialist@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

The difference is that Republicans never pretend to care, Democrats talk about caring and then legislate like their conservative counterparts
