It fits IMO lol

Calling Biden "corrupt right wing reactionary" is untrue.

He was known as The Senator From MBNA for shamelessly acting as if he was working for the then second largest credit card company in the country rather than the US people.

He championed the pro-corporate bankruptcy reform that was so anti-consumer that it inspired Elizabeth Warren to advocate for a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to shield consumers from similarly predatory practices by the rich and powerful.

He's said that "of course" he'd be more likely to agree to talk to someone if they first donated a lot of money to his campaign.

He's repeatedly championed cutting medicare and medicaid.

He initially opposed desegregation bussing, saying he didn't want his kids to "grow up in a racial jungle"

He's bragged about his close cooperation with such segregationists as racism end boss Strom Thurmond.

He has said that he would veto Medicare For All if congress passed a bill allowing any version of it.

He was the only 2020 Dem primary candidate that categorically ruled out decriminalization of the use and possession of cannabis.

He is one of the staunchest international supporters of a fascist government currently engaged in a horrendous genocide because "they've always been our allies, so we need to support them no matter what"

He used to brag that nobody in Washington went to more of the events of that fascist government's lobbying arm, AIPAC.

If that doesn't "paint the picture of" a corrupt right wing reactionary to you, that's not because he isn't one.

I just think that accusation is inflammatory and baseless

Well you're half right. It IS inflammatory. Unpopular truths tend to be.

It would be more helpful to use accurate descriptors.

Those are 100% accurate descriptors. They don't encompass ALL of what he is, but corrupt, right wing and reactionary is objectively three things that he is.

asked for the DEA to review a proposal to reschedule marijuana

A proposal that concluded with no qualifications that rescheduling would be the only defensible course of action. Nothing to review unless he disagrees and wants the war on drugs people to justify it for him.

acquitted existing inmates on marijuana charges

That's prescribing an aspirin for a migraine while you have but refuse to use the cure for the underlying disease.

forgiven as much student loan debt as he is able without intervention from Congress.

Categorically untrue. It's within the constitutional powers of his secretary of education to cancel literally all of it, which he would have done had Biden asked.

Biden knew that he'd get pushback from the GOP no matter how much or how little was forgiven and chose small amounts that he still means tested to death, like Dem leadership always do when they do anything that helps regular people more than their owner donors.

To reiterate: yes, he's objectively corrupt. Yes he's objectively right wing, and yes, he's objectively reactionary.

Except it's not true. Executive orders have no teeth. They're not legislation so there's no criminal or civil penalty for ignoring them. Which means legislation doesn't need to do anything to override them. At most, the president can replace positions under his authority if the orders are not followed.

As a whole Lemmy users are deeply stupid or deeply ignorant or both. I think it's an age thing, but I could be wrong. Most of what gets tossed around here as Lemmy's received orthodoxy is pure amateur hour bullshit that has very little to do with reality.

Another cause for this is that Lemmy's userbase tends to be very ideologically driven as opposed to forming political views on the basis of evidence and solutions based rationality.

Obviously I'm not very popular around here. Fortunately I don't care. I'm just killing time and if I can shake even one person's ill-founded convictions, I am happy.
