…much closer to being far-right than he is to being left…
How else am I supposed to read those words? And ‘manifesto’? Hey, pal, I’m just pointing out you are wrong so that voters don’t get this bullshit in their minds and think that Biden’s some ultra-right-wing MAGAt no better than Trump and decide to stay home. And guess what! I’m going to keep doing that!
Here’s a list of things Biden has accomplished in his first term:
Overtime guarantees for workers earning less than 55k (actually in progress, but slated for release soon as of 2024-04-11)
Access to Over the Counter Birth Control.
Funding provided to schools to deal with gun safety issues.
Funding for green energy, which has pushed it to the #2 source of energy in the US.
Directed Federal Reserve to draft a new anti-redlining guideline for home loans in the USA.
Cut overdraft fees from punitive $30 to $40 levels to much saner $3 to 14.
** Working on cutting credit card late payment fees.
Revised the Electoral Count Act to increase the threshold to object to vote counts, clarify the VP’s role is strictly ceremonial, outlaw the tricks Trump tried to use to hold onto power, and make transition automatic and required.
Funding for Green Agriculture to ensure that farming practices are kind to the environment.
Funding for small farms, to blunt the Big Ag monopoly.
Potential move of MJ to Schedule III (from Schedule I).
Reining in the cost of college debt by penalising colleges that generate too much debt relative to the potential income of the field.
Reducing our dependency on Taiwan for microchips by onshoring IC production here in the USA, offsetting Trump’s tariffs by making it possible to actually buy a microchip powered device that was built in the USA.
Encouraging telemedicine prescriptions of medications.
Protecting unions from union-busting activities.
Invested 1.2b USD in infrastructure projects to repair and extend our nation’s infrastructure.
Holding airlines accountable for late or cancelled flights by mandating they compensate their passengers.
None of that looks right-wing to me,. and while Biden has invested in our military and pushed oil production in the USA to record levels, that doesn’t counter the above list of things Biden has done. So forgive me if I just point out that he’s NOT far-right, at home or overseas. At most, he’s centre-right outside the USA, and honestly, like we both said, the USA is filled with right-leaning politicians and voters, so he’s definitely the better choice, and frankly, the only reasonable choice for a nation where 74% say they are NOT Liberal.
So thanks for agreeing with me that he’s by far the better choice. I’m glad you said that, though I wish you’d said that on your original post. There’s too much bullshit floating around saying BIDEN BAD~!, and the chances are that if we let that stuff go un-challenged, we’ll get REAL bad in 2025.
