Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.

Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.

Dirt Owl with one of those doctors' reflex hammers, meticulously tapping every possible lemmy lib struggle session topic and standing back to watch.

Biden was allegedly 'labor friendly' president.

Even if he's a staunch anti-unionist, he'd still be considered "the most pro-union president in history", because the bar is located fifty floors below the basement of my deep sea research base at the bottom of the marianas trench, and all he has to do is not directly give the order to massacre a group of striking workers on his first day to pass it.

Biden has been demonstrably, measurably worse on covid than Trump. If I had to vote for one of them today, and I was going to do it based solely on “who is going to get less people killed?” I would vote for Trump, and that’s fucking horrifying.

The bar was buried 6 feet underground along with hundreds of thousands of people dead from covid, and Biden still didn’t clear it.

[-] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The argument that Biden is worse on covid than Trump has the built-in assumption that Trump would have done more about it in its second year and beyond than Biden did. That's honestly a ridiculous assumption. There was always an expiration date on covid mitigation measures and it was always soon. It's not like Trump would have had any more incentive than Biden to demonstrate his pandemic management skills after the election, he would have been out there declaring victory over Covid just the same.

They literally just ignored the problem and pretend its not there

I'm not sure this holds up if you speculate on deaths in other countries. Trump still fights a proxy war with Ukraine (probably more of a chance of deeper U.S. involvement) and does all the other background horrors of imperialism. I'm 50/50 on whether he'd pull out of Afghanistan. He'd probably try to start a war with Iran for a third time, and maybe that time it would happen. Could easily go with major force against Niger, too.

My man what are you talking about, Trump was the one who decided we were pulling out of Afghanistan and set a date, which Biden pushed back. I don’t think Biden would’ve left Afghanistan if Trump hadn’t already agreed to

Depressing how this comes back here every few years like the ongoing history of american politics doesnt spell that out. It's like people spent 7 years forgetting everything we talked about last time

well, it's either the guy who's terrible or the guy who will adopt the terribls guy's policies in 7 years

I mean, they are blue conservatives. American politics are horribly skewed to the right, so your options are between conservative-lites and literally Nazis lol y'all are fucked.

The Democratic Party just represents another faction of the bourgeoisie. They only “support” different social issues to opportunistically appeal to a different voting blocs, but they have little or no intention to truly do anything. The only constituency they serve are just a different group of capitalists. Once you understand this, that all bourgeois politicians don’t represent you at all, US politics and policy decision making becomes crystal clear.

That's the problem. We don't have a liberal party and a conservative party anymore. We have a conservative party and a regressive party

we have von hindenberg and the NSDAP
