The banning non-competes is actually pretty good, don't get me wrong, but that also wasn't really him.

If these aren’t making headlines then that’s your fault lol. What the fuck are these people doing with their tens of millions of dollars if they don’t bother broadcasting propaganda for their party? He cares more about Ukraine and Israel, and frankly so does the media that keep glazing him.

Seriously, Liberals blame this lack of headlines on the people or the media, but ask them to fund non-paywalled, nonprofit pro-Democrat newspapers, and they will be too invested in smelling their own farts to say anything other than "We're not gonna add to the mud slinging, we're bigger than that!"

The idea of maybe fucking bragging without tact is beyond them not because of a lack of means, but because they can't let go of the high they get from their self-identification as the "decent" people.

And then they have the audacity to express disgust at Trump for putting his name on the outgoing stimulus checks near election time, rather than facing up to the fact that it is simply good politics with a measurable electoral impact. Democrats do not value having the power to protect the groups they claim to care about, at least not more than they value their ability to self-identify as the party of respectability and moderation.

"Democracy dies in darkness" is rich coming from the institutions that are clouding the skies with bullshit stories about the Trump trials or whatever the fuck.

Isn't MSNBC the Democrat media? I always thought it was like the liberal Fox.

[-] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Not really, it is wildly out of sync with the American left and even younger Dems because its key viewers are in the 45-65 demo and those people only care about Russiagate and Trump violating norms.

MSNBC runs absolutely no pieces galvanizing and reaffirming left wing belief. They also actively tried to deboost Bernie Sanders in both Dem primaries he was in, and their morning show, Joe Biden's favorite, is hosted by a Republican congressman who pines for the "reasonable Republicans" of the Bush era. They are fully pro-deregulation, pro-Imperialist and pro-Israel mouthpieces for the wealthy and retired liberals of yesteryear, fully out of touch with current US left wing discourse.

On the flip side, Fox sources it's stories straight from wingnut blogs and crawls to find local stories covering things like an annual Christmas display being removed, or other bits of nothing, and build whole outrage rousing segments about looming threats to America out of them. And the Republican Party sets its messaging around what Fox gets its viewers to care about, whereas what The Dem Party cares about sets what MSBNC's messaging to viewers is.

DNC: "why isn't anyone talking about any of the GOOD POLICIES we barely passed??? Anyway, gotta prep Biden for another press conference where he'll say he's gonna mildly scold Netanyahu if he blows up a 3rd orphanage."

lol look at this stalinist supporting NEWSPAPERS. like a TROT

negotiating drug prices...

Pharma Capital Formations: We will charge indefensibly high rents on all drugs, including those made possible by research supported with public money.

Libs: How about you only charge exorbitantly high rents on all drugs, including those made possible by research supported with public money and we will kick in more money for "Public Private" Research funds to help you generate more Intellectual Property?

Pharma: OK, but the negotiated drug prices sunset in 6 months.

Libs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

We're deep in to the sixth great extinction and large swathes of the planet will be unable to support human life by the end of the decade but we're capping credit card fees!

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago

Let's try a metaphor because liberals are bad at reality. We're in the back of a truck hurtling toward a brick wall called fascism and liberals have just tossed an open box of rusty knives over the side so nobody will get cut by a bunch of flying knives when we slam into the wall at five hundred miles per hour.

smuglord trucks dont go 500 miles an hour dumbass

Biden put Lina Khan in charge of the FTC and she banned noncompetes, and he also put some good people into the NLRB who were also involved in the noncompete bans. I'm happy he picked (or more likely his handlers picked) some good people for those jobs. But he's not talking about this stuff. He's letting Israel carry out genocide and talking about "securing" the "border" hitler-detector while cops beat up protesters. He's combative with journalists in a pretty similar way to Trump, except he's clearly not as sharp as he used to be so it's embarrassing to watch even if you do hate the journalists. Liberals would be talking a lot about the soul of the nation if Trump was doing this stuff. The soul of the nation is fucked and always has been.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 28 points 5 days ago

Liberals blaming people for not being caught up with Biden’s ‘achievements’ is wild lol. That’s not their responsibility, and much of the time they are caught up, but like you said he’s barely airing his achievements and his cabinet and instead his sole focus is Israel. Even Ukraine is getting the backseat treatment. This man’s brain is set on only one thing, and it’s not even his election.

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 37 points 5 days ago

I saw this in the wild and thought, "wouldn't you want medical debt removed completely?" Don't libs understand the lack of enthusiasm for these quarter measures?

And wouldn't you want the profit motive removed from medication production completely?

"The coin lords will not consider that you are in arrears for life saving surgery when they decide not to grant you the mortgage you need to escape debt peonage"

all of this would've been positives (but not enough) before Israel escalated its genocide and Brandon gave unconditional support.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 24 points 5 days ago

If they think this will satiate the zoomers they're gonna have a bad time.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

Biden: Sets hard cap on migrants, keeps kids in cages, keeps selling Israel weapons, refuses to try to do anything on the severe problems the US has vis a vis renewable energy, medical debt, or extreme poverty

Libs: WhY wOnT aNyOnE tAlK aBoUt ThE rEdUcEd FeEs??

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

So many of these are fucking nothing lmao liberals are delusional

[-] muslimmarxist@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago

Wait medical debt isn't on credit reports now?

[-] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 21 points 5 days ago

No, like half of these things are only things his admin has talked about. I'm pretty sure that hasn't gone through.

[-] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 1 points 4 days ago

It's the newest thing. Should go through soon hopefully. But they're terrible at advertising these kinds of good things.

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago

That's not really a good thing
