Because of Trump but under Biden abortion rights have gotten stripped for millions. Mass American poverty and the housing crisis only continued to escalate under biden. Biden has continued many of Trump's border policies and even looks to make that situation worse. Under his presidency we have also enabled a genocide in Palestine. I could go on but do I need to?
I want to be clear. Trump is worse than Biden. Biden has not made things better overall. He has only slowed the rate at which things are getting worse. Do you think I'm wrong?
Sure not something that Biden can change without packing the court which he also can't do by himself.
Both are reduced under biden, no thanks to trump. He continued then and actually escalated them, the border is more secure today than at any time in human history which is an issue sure. What enabled Israel is moving the embassy to Jerusalem cementing American policy for the foreseeable future. You could find an actual issue that Biden caused but that's just me.
I agree, but implying things were better with Trump in office is next level crazy shit to say.
Just going to focus on the first part cuz I don't think we're going to really progress on the other parts and we seem to have an understanding.
Buden didn't even try to pack the court. The Dems had the Senate and the house and the presidency in 2021. I don't remember Biden even trying to pack the supreme Court. It'd be one thing if he tried and the Senate wouldn't give him the vote of a simple majority for his candidates. Then we could say Biden's cool but some Dems suck. But he didn't even try. Why are we pretending like he would have?
Edit: also sorry if I come off like an asshole I don't mean to. Also hell yeah 420 dude 👈😎 I'm lighting up now myself
I know this, it would have been shooting himself in the foot politically. He might do it if he loses before he leaves office where it can't effect his presidency directly. Smart? Sure, smarmy absolutely.
There are things that are possible and things that are probable, in politics the overlaps are rare and slight.
