President Joe Biden has opened a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump. At a campaign fundraiser in the Dallas area on Wednesday, Biden asked and answered the classic “are you better off today than you were four years ago” question to remind voters of what it was like when Trump w

      I regret that I have but one upvote to give. Keep fighting the good fight against misinformation.

      Biden has been a remarkably good president under incredibly challenging legislative and judicial circumstances. He didn’t do everything he promised? It’s a miracle he was able to do anything at all!

      Give the man a blue Congress and watch.

      him and prosecutor Harris fired staffers over cannabis and after making promises failed to do anything but pardon a very small portion of convicted cannabis users and without police reform like he also promised the divided states have gone as far as border like patrol on their borders and all the cannabis policies he could be seen as having a helping hand in have only helped corporate cannabis and the militarized police who he refuses to reign in

      he never fulfilled the upping the minimum to $15 and places like Wally’s Hell have lowered the start pay to below precovid levels lower than $15 an hour and that is just one business and corporations have been using free slave mean correctional institution residents for free labor

      consistently shat all over workers just like threating the rail workers if they kept up the protest for better work conditions

      Roe v. Wade fell on his watch and his solution? give him more funding and sign an executive order for researching women’s health or some less than quarter assed pile of manure

      what makes that man worth a vote?

      make it make sense

        Oh, good point, I forgot one:

        • There were 458,900 workers involved in work stoppages in 2023, notably including the even-more-unprecedented-than-the-rail-strike motion picture strike and the autoworkers strike. You can believe, if you want to, that Biden is anti-union and he just pure overlooked his responsibility to shut down the 458,900 people who did work stoppages in 2023. Personally my feeling is that he shut down the rail strike because it would have a big impact on the rest of the economy, then his labor department kept working the issue and got the workers the sick days they were fighting for in the first place by having the strike.

          You are right. With our first-past-the-post system and our electoral college, we only have two possibilities: Trump or Biden winning. You get to help decide which is the best (or the least worst).

          I see 4 possibilities, depending on your political leaning.

          1. Liberal voting for Biden. Helps Biden.
          2. Conservative voting for Trump. Helps Trump.
          3. Liberal not voting for Biden. Helps Trump.
          4. Conservative not voting for Trump. Helps Biden.

          If you don’t like these choices, work to get rid of the Electoral College. Work to support ranked-choice voting or some other alternative to first-past-the-post. But sitting this out will hurt one candidate while helping the other to win. If you don’t like either candidate, vote for the least worst of the top two - the one closest to you.

        Good spot! It should have been $144 billion in student loan forgiveness, he just did another 6 billion. I corrected it.
