What a performative clown. Your fucked dude. Just focus on Gaza and getting Bibi out of power.
Yeah, that fucking clown of a politician trying to create policies that would only benefit his voters (well and everyone else, but clearly he doesn’t care about those people). If this passed, and thankfully it won’t because the Republicans in congress will be sure to protect the public, then it might actually get him reelected because people might think that he was good for the majority of Americans. That would be so awful.

No. Biden is a capitalist. He serves money first and voters second. American people in general are dead last.

I love how politicians become “very nice” and “active” when it’s elections time 😂 Like, my brother, you’ve been in this spot for 4 years, why are you just calling for these fucking obvious things? Also, yes, mother fucker, stop the fucking genocide first before anything.
And the smoothed brain cheerleaders here just gobbling it up.
Bro its an election year. Precisely 0 legislation will be getting passed. You had your chance at one bill Biden and if you didn’t get it into that bill, it wasn’t a priority to you.
This is the mechanism that politicians use to lie. The only people this kind of wag the dog propaganda works on are people who are already voting for Biden, but its the 18-36 year olds he’s lost right now. Its the tiktok generation who have watched the atrocities their meager wages have paid for in taxes he needs to get. And no, a lip-servicing isn’t gonna do it.
Absolutely. Couldn’t have said it better. I’m so fucking sick of “see, the other guy is bad, elect me” while doing less than the bare minimum. No, fuck face, go get fucked. Biden ran on public option in healthcare, and haven’t beeped a word about it ever since he got what he wanted. People are fucking drowning in student loans and medical debt and he couldn’t even keep the $10k student loans forgiveness and Medicaid got even more cut on his watch. Fuckers don’t give a single fuck about us. We are on our own, but like you said, they have their smoothed brain cheerleaders who are all over their dicks no matter what.
Because nowhere else in the world matters, right? There are no horrors happening anywhere else so the American election should depend solely on what’s happening in Gaza? Personally, I would love to see Bibi out of power and the Palestinian people freed from tyranny, but opposing Biden’s reelection will have absolutely no positive impact on the likelihood of that happening. In fact, if Trump gets in he has said he’ll support Israel’s campaign in Gaza. Undermining Biden will not get you what you want. Trump and a Republican congress would help Israel wipe out the Palestinian people completely.
Now, if you really want to help make the world a better place, start opposing Republican candidates at every level and start supporting progressive candidates who will work to change the whole world instead of just the tiny portion of it that worries you most right now.

Establishment democrats are supporting Republican candidates in order to block progressives. Also, while we’re at it, here are a few things that Biden did all on his own fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.

Fuck Joe Biden.
Establishment democrats are…
You actually quoted me saying your should be supporting progressive candidates and reply with a list of things that “establishment democrats” have done or are doing. What’s your point exactly?
This is wonderful. I did spot this:
and eliminate some tax deductions for executive compensation.
Why the fuck do tax deductions for executive compensation exist in the first place?!?!
Companies have been allowed to treat pay as a business expense. Executive pay is pay, so they treat it as a cost of doing business.
meanwhile, the 2017 tax cuts and jobs act contained a provision that now prevents companies from deducting research and development, expenses, including software development.
I’m continually amazed by the fediverse, people can come over to butt heads about politics from porn site comment sections.
I love it.
Too bad he won’t do anything. At most he’ll say he’s “looking into it” and hope people eventually stop asking.
Like, you’ve been president for four years Joe, half that time Dems had the House and Senate… Did you just realize this was something that needs addressed?
But at least he’s actually saying the right stuff now instead of ranting about “illegals”
Too bad he won’t do anything.
What, exactly, is within his sole power to do?
The answer is: Nothing. The president (or even the executive branch) has no power over tax laws whatsoever. That’s 100% Congress. The president can only sign into law or veto what Congress sends them. Aside from Executive Orders (which are still subject to judicial review), all the president can do is call for things.
And he is only calling for it now because it wouldn’t have made sense to do it any earlier. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (better known as the Trump Tax Cuts for the Wealthy), became effective in 2018 and is the law until 2025 when they’re due to be renewed or replaced. Biden took office in 2021 and the current year is 2024.
instead of ranting about “illegals”
The “ranting about illegals” statement is completley disingenuous and quite literally spreading right-wing propaganda.
From the official transcript of the damn speech (or rant as you’re calling it):
REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: What about Laken Riley?
(Cross-talk.)
AUDIENCE: Booo —
REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: Say her name!
THE PRESIDENT: (The President holds up a pin reading “Say Her Name, Laken Riley.”) Lanken — Lanken (Laken) Riley, an innocent young woman who was killed.
REPRESENTATIVE GREENE: By an illegal!
THE PRESIDENT: By an illegal. That’s right. But how many of thousands of people are being killed by legals?
That’s it. That’s the “rant”. Basically trapped into responding to Empty G’s heckling, fell into it, and now it’s a right-wing talking point.
Here’s the full transcript if you don’t trust my copy/paste skills: https://www.whitehouse.gov/state-of-the-union-2024/
Plant very convincing notes in the lapels of every fortune 500 companies CEOs?
I mean, that’s close.
Tax reform has to be implemented by Congress. All he can do is call for it. And good luck with that out of the current Congress. The only chance of that happening is if Dems get the House back and get a bigger/actual majority in the Senate.
Yeah, not like we can have a president who thinks on his feet…
Better to have one that just says random offensive things without thinking.
trump does it intentionally, so it’s 100% cool for Biden to do it “accidentally” and I’m an asshole for wanting better for America.
Yeah, not like we can have a president who thinks on his feet…
So first it was him “ranting about illegals” and after that was fact-checked, now it’s he can’t think on his feet. Way to move the goalposts! 👍
and I’m an asshole for wanting better for America.
I didn’t call you an asshole. You threw and jumped on that grenade all by yourself.

Fuck Joe Biden.
I’m not a fan of Biden either, but he’s going to get my vote this presidential election due to their being no alternative.
There are more elections than just the presidential one that you should be voting in. Vote in all of your local ones and state level ones. The more progressive people that we can push through the chain the more stuff we can get passed that will help people and the more likely we are to get a more progressive president in the future.
Dude living in a dilapidated double-wide named Jessie:
“HE COMING FER MA MONEY!”
After Jessie finishes talking about the evils of socialism as he collects his food stamps and unemployment benefits.
And drives on roads stops at stops signs to go to the VA to get his benefits and the stops by the post office to get his mom’s Social security check.
:/
It’s half that, it’s half the idea that they’re giving it to the coloreds and it’s not fair that anyone might get something that they’re not getting.
Like, handouts and welfare etc are good as long as they’re getting it, and other tribes aren’t. If the Others get it instead, then it’s the worst thing ever.
Like when Floridians complain about the federal government sending disaster relief to other states.
Here’s “famous” actor Craig T Nelson complaining about receiving government aid.
It works for literally everything in america
“I recieved student loans/grants to pay for college, anyone help me out? no’”
“I got a union job that pays my mortgage, anyone help me out? no.”
“my parents took care of me as a child, anyone help me out? no.”
“I went to school as a child, anyone help me out? no.”
“I bought a car that I can drive on public roads, anyone help me out? no.”
