If you all take a moment to look through OP's history, you'll see a litany of anti-Biden posts. I get it, we need to be critical of our leadership, and I fully support holding them accountable. However, OP really seems to have an anti-Biden bias. I'll be blocking OP after I post this, and if you feel like you should do the same, I think you'll find your Lemmy experience a little better.

Perhaps an anti-Dem position. Dems have been moving to the right since the 80s. This is how the right got so fucking insane. Dems fail to push back. That's why they are no longer considered Left by any stretch of the imagination.

Here's actual context for anyone who wants it.

The US president is expected to sign the order as early as Tuesday to seal the border with Mexico to migrants when numbers of asylum claimants rise above a daily threshold of 2,500.

But sure, both sides the same, if this time we let fascism win it will totally make us into a left-wing paradise, etc etc etc.

None of these people post with any nuance. It’s all to cripple Biden any way they can. What is their end goal? I’m not happy with everything he does, but we have no other viable option in this election. Everything Biden does bad, Trump will do worse. Biden at least bends to pressure from the left.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 21 points 5 months ago

My pov is that the threat that is Trump is very convenient to the right wing Democrats like Bidden.

The Democrats aren’t Nazis, they just don’t mind them all that much.

That doesn’t mean “there the same” and that people shouldn’t vote D. They absolutely should because the world may never recover from a second Trump win.

But once the election is over and Trump is hopefully in the past, the establishment should be roasted, “not an actual fascist” is a sickly low standard for an office that rules one of the most powerful nations. The people deserve better and the establishment needs to get the message that we demand better.

Why would they so that though? Every election from now on if going to be this dangerous.

Seems like they have us over a barrel, no?

That doesn't change the fact that it still severely increases the difficulty to seek asylum.

It's not the only policy being doubled down on

"Both sides are the same" is not the argument here. It's "militarized and cruel border policies are bipartisan".

edit: I should also mention: there's a real pressure building here. Not only are our south and central-american policies creating refugees and mass migration, but increasingly climate disasters, too. Clamping down on the boarder is the reactive thing to do in response to the number of migrants showing up, but the real work needs to be assessing broader international policy and aid to our southern neighbors, and that's another policy area where the current administration seems stuck in the past

The alternative is that all of you are pissed too and are just upset that Im speaking the obvious.

I guess all of this talk of my being a faux progressive is because people agree with my critcism here?

Thats all I want, is for you to admit Biden is a crappy candidate who is alienating voters.

If you want to vote harm reduction, fine, but dont act like he doesnt suck.

[-] TheFonz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I'll bite. He sucks. Now what?

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Well, you see, all those people saying they aren't voting for Biden but against Trump secretly love Biden and can't see that he sucks. I'm just pointing out their obvious hypocrisy of them being forced to do what they said they'd be doing rather than what we both know that they secretly wanted to actually be doing! /s

I... I think I just channeled Warmbo. I might need a bath after that

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Sorry sir Biden is good and only Trump bad so I downvoted your may may. Please learn the rules before posting.

[-] Crismus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

And back then people who complained that there were few differences between the candidates were attacked and ridiculed.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Probably because you are and were absolutely full of shit

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Asylum != Immigration. You're dude is just trying to rile you up. Go ahead, don't vote.
