Biden could safely:

-Send the military to blow up the child-drowning device across the Rio Grande

-Block discretionary federal funding to states passing anti-trans laws

-Allow civilians to get abortions in military healthcare facilities

-Appoint an AG who will throw all sorts of charges at republicans/manchin

-Burn student loan debt

-Appoint a DEA tsar who won't pursue the drug war, etc.

He could do all of this knowing the SCOTUS and congress will block or roll it all back.

He doesn't even pretend he wants what his constituents want.

Aren't his constituents basically the defense contractors?

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 29 points 10 months ago

I misspoke.

I mean the people he is asking to vote for him.

He has more constituents than just defense contractors... he has the banks too. He was their senator for over 35 years.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
