“Why don’t voters see that genocide is in our nation’s best interest?”
“Why don’t voters care more about stock prices than food prices?”
Unlike the orange baboon, he means well. He’s just so steeped in neoliberalism that he thinks he knows better than we do what we need.
What I want is a president who cares more about Americans than America.
If you want a president that cares more about Americans than America, then you’ll love Joe Biden. If we compare republican to Democrat options of the past, you’d have to go back to Bush senior before you could even find a competitor to Biden. Before that, I think you’re back to Eisenhower.
Biden does the best he can, but the president’s powers are limited. Even when he tries to exercise them faithfully, he’s stopped by the republican supreme court.
To reduce those complex issues to single sentence, overly simplified questions is willfully disengenous.
No one is stopping Biden from ending aid to Israel - not congress, not the supreme court, no one. It is only this administration’s estimation that doing so would lessen our influence in the region that is preventing it.
Biden is angry and frustrated that the American people don’t value retaining and extending regional power in the middle east as much as he does. He cares about us, but doesn’t want us to get in the way. Henry Kissinger may be dead, but he still has a lot of influence.
Again, this is overly simplifying an extremely complex issue, and even in your own words you acknowledge the complexity while sweeping it under the rug.
The choices that are presented to and decided by the president are rarely so easily evaluated and it is hard to believe that a conflict between Isreal and Palestine could be anything but extraordinarily complex.
Ending aid to Israel would be ending any chance he has at reelection. This is the sad reality. Online, the vocal minority is quite loud. But in reality, Israel has broad, bi-partisan support in the USA.
Obama was also up there, in my opinion, but I’m willing to be corrected. He passed the affordable care act, and he could have done much more if it wasn’t because of the republicans opposing him for being Obama. The GOP shut down the government not once, but TWICE, under him, and I’m still bitter about it.
Edit: Downvoted by the GOP. Typical.
I wasn’t very clear, I was onky looking at past republican competitors. Pretty much any recent Democrat has done more to help the general public than republicans have in a long, long time.
I’m not sure who’s done more, Biden or Obama. I think there’s lots to consider there and both of them have been heavily hampered by the regressive republicans.
Biden may not care more about average Americans than America, but he at least cares more about Americans than Trump does.
Hurr durr behind the scenes Biden is “really worried” about the optics of supporting Genocide hurr durr.
The few times Biden abuses his presidential powers it’s to throw his own election chances.
81 is too old
my grandfather is this age and would not want him running anything and when reach that age do not think be able to run much either unless healthcare gets some futuristic improvement
Biden is no different than any other human on the planet except they give him exponentially better healthcare than you while he dangles universal health in front of your face for two elections and never putting out
Americans should not bend over and take either option Biden or Trump
Some of us like myself are not allowed to vote because of policies and laws that have been crafted by politicians over the years with Biden being one of those politicians
Biden’s supporters are willing to jump as blindly off a cliff as the Trumpers
We as Americans need to take stand before we are not able to
Biden did not dangle universal health in front of our faces for two elections, unless you count when he was VP under Obama; and even then ACA was in the first term of Obama and was not part of the platform for the second election. Biden’s platform never mentions universal health. It only talks about expanding access to Medicare and ACA, which he has already done.
In some states, being convicted of a felony will temporarily or permanently kill your ability to vote.
I’m not aware of anything else that can.

I’m hoping the person who made the claim that they can’t vote because of policies and laws crafted by Biden will answer. I can’t find any evidence of Biden voting to stop felons from voting, only Biden helping get information and registration info to felons who are re-elligible in certain states. Maybe he did 30 or 40 years ago, but I couldn’t find it.
The person who made that claim has some weird phrasing in their language that makes me doubt their claims of being an American who can’t vote. They also claim that Biden has been dangling universal health in from of our faces for two elections, but I don’t remember Biden running on that platform.
Good, he was sitting on his ass running on the idea he would win because Trump. I’m not sure about now, but a few weeks ago his campaign page was completely empty on policies that he would run on, literally nothing.
What was the Republican platform of 2020? What is the Republican platform of 2024?
Looks like that’s still the case. His website only seems to be a place where you can donate or volunteer. Guess his campaign is just focused on social media now? I get the potential value in that; it’s like old-school campaigning. But wouldn’t you still want a clear and easy place outside of videos where people can reference your values, accomplishments, and further goals?

You would if you had any that align with those of the majority of the population, sure.
Biden’s still living in 1992 like the rest of the DNC leadership, though, and hasn’t changed since he bragged about attending more AIPAC events than any other politician in Washington, was the main proponent of that awful crime bill and advocated for cuts to Medicare and Social Security.
Hell, I’m not even sure he’s changed his NIMBY attitude towards black people since he said of desegregation bussing that he “didn’t want his kids to grow up in a racial jungle”…
