  • China added more solar panels in 2023 than US did in its entire history. If China can expand their renewable infrastructure to such an extent I’m having a hard time believing the US can’t do the same thing.

    It’ll take some time to build out more wind and solar, and unfortunately Republicans are there the whole way to undermine any meaningful climate action.

    The U.S. is producing more oil than anytime in history right now under Biden. Republicans aren’t the only ones undermining meaningful climate action, this is a fully bipartisan effort.

    Both parties serve the same capital interests. Let’s be clear, if they wanted to they absolutely could drastically reduce the amount of oil being drilled and pump billions of dollars into renewable energy research so that the US is no longer reliant on carbon-emitting energies; they just don’t want to.


  • Renewable power is the No. 2 source of electricity in the U.S. — and climbing

    Why the fuck isn’t it number one yet? We’ve known about climate change for decades now. What’s the holdup? Why is he still opening up more land and sea reserves for drilling? He and the rest of the ghouls in DC still serve oil execs and are never going to make any meaningful actions towards climate change.

    So, nothing.

    Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One

    I’m supposed to give a shit about the color of his plane???

    Biden recommends loosening federal restrictions on marijuana

    “Recommends” He didn’t do shit. It’s not an accomplishment unless he actually does something. And he’s only moving it to Schedule III, not actually legalizing it, so even if it goes through it’s still a half assed solution. Legalize it or fuck off.

    A penalty for college programs that trap students in debt

    None of my student loan debt has been cancelled.

    Biden moves to bring microchip production home

    Seriously half this article is diaper pissing about China.

    Remind me again who busted the rail strike.

    The U.S. is producing more oil than anytime in history

    Imagine bragging about about fighting climate change then saying this shit.

    Strengthening military ties to Asian allies

    China again

    Seriously half of his “”““accomplishments””“” are just “China bad”. What a garbage ass list, no wonder he’s going to lose.

    Also he’s still doing a genocide so he can go fuck himself.








  • So a few things I’m curious about… how would Biden have changed the SCOTUS ruling on Roe? He can’t just unilaterally overrule them, and any bills for women’s rights that you try to push through congress will get nuked by the conservatives. What’s left?

    If he’s so powerless to do anything why should I vote for him? Literally what have the Dems ever done with regards to abortion rights, other than using it for fundraising? Why do conservatives have all the power to do whatever ghoulish shit they want yet Dems are entirely powerless to do anything about it? Why didn’t the Democrats try to enshrine abortions rights into law during one of the three times they had control of the House, Senate, and presidency during the nearly 50 years Roe was in effect (once each during Carter, Clinton, and Obama)? I want them to do fucking anything about it, because despite all the lip service, as far as I can tell they don’t actually give a shit. “The GOP would block it” is not an excuse for not even trying.

    Regarding the minimum wage… Yes there are still some sectors that are exempted, but Biden did push through an increase to $15/hr that covered a lot of workers. Big surprise, the only ones to challenge this increase were the GOP.

    Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were both Democrats and they blocked minimum wage from passing. If the Democratic Party can’t even get their own people in line to pass the most basic things why should I vote for them? The $15 minimum wage Biden enacted only covered federal workers, which is 370,000 / 164.5 million = 0.22% of the entire US work force. And raising the minimum wage was a campaign promise, which he immediately dropped after one attempt and hasn’t tried again. Why should anyone believe any promise he makes in the next six months if all he can manage is one (1) half-assed attempt at raising the minimum wage to one that was barely enough to live on a decade ago, let alone now after massive inflation?

    What else can anyone do about COVID?

    Literally anything??? They did a whole bunch of shit in 2020. More stimulus checks, protections for workers, mandatory paid time off for anyone who tests positive, literally just not ending the things they were already doing. COVID never went away, it’s still killing people. Yet they just decided “whelp the pandemic is over, everyone back to work” and COVID was going to be a thing that kills people from now on. He’s the president of the united states, it’s literally his job to figure this shit out.

    I just meant that yeah this is a big blunder and I have no objection to holding him partially responsible for this

    You should be holding him entirely responsible for this. He’s fully aware of what he’s doing and what the weapons are being used for. There’s no excuse for genocide.

    It’s worth noting though that nearly all of Congress is also introducing and voting for bills to provide aid to Israel’s genocide.

    Fuck all of them too tbh. amerikkka isntrael



  • Criticism of Biden is not an endorsement of Trump. No one here is advocating for Trump. No one here is voting for Trump.

    Yeah Biden is a fairly typical politician, but what has he done wrong other than Israel?

    “other than Israel” like his lifelong, unwavering support for a genocidal apartheid state is just a little whoopsie-doodle and he isn’t knowingly and willingly arming an entire fucking genocide. Fuck you.

    But besides that: He has failed to protect trans rights, has failed to protect women’s rights (Roe was overturned under Biden, remember), has failed to raise the minimum wage, has drilled for more oil than any other president in history, has made no meaningful actions towards climate change, has expanded Trump’s racist border policies, he’s warmongering with China and Iran, refuses to cancel student loans, sent uniformed thugs after people peacefully protesting his awful decisions, busted a rail strike, has done nothing about COVID (which is still happening), and he still owes me $1400. To say nothing of all the racist policies and warmongering he supported during his decades as a politician before becoming president.
