Biden - Blog Posts
Chuds on twitter getting mad about Joe Biden stepping down because it "betrays the democratic voters" is a prime example of how reactionary the right is.
Republicans have been degrading, and systematically trying to prevent democrats from voting for YEARS, and now they suddenly care about the rights of democrat voters? I call BS
This is a prime example of moving the goal post. They always have to be mad about something. They can't just let him step down peacefully (as they and everyone else have been pleading him to), it has to be twisted into some moral failing on him and the democrats.
Anyone undecided about the US election?
Done a range of tags to get a discussion going. Please be respectful :-)
Today is good, some things could be changed but today is still good
Today is good, thank you to all who voted for some one that wasn't that orange guy. Now we need to focus on the unbridge problem on the supreme court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, May her memory be a blessing, will not be replaced by that knock off Barbie. Wait no that would be offensive to barbie. Either way she needs to get off the supreme court.
Now onto my cat, today she has been cuddling me and my other cat seems happy to. So I say that too day is good.
I’m not american so I can’t vote for Biden but if any of y’all are, plssss just think logically
Abstinence is terrible because if you don’t vote then the trump supporters will and then you’ll feel reeeal stupid
Look.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
So far he’s done more in his first day in office than trump did in his ONE term
The executive orders Biden signed on his first day in office: 1. Requiring masks and physical distancing on federal property
2. Halting the US’s withdrawal from WHO
3. Creating position of Covid-19 Response Coordinator to manage vaccine distribution
4. Extending eviction/foreclosure moratorium till March 31
5. Extending the student loan payment pause till September 30
6. Rejoining Paris Climate Accord
7. Cancelling KeystoneXL and directing agencies to review Trump environmental actions
8. Rescinding Trump’s 1776 Commission which was the thing telling government agencies not to incorporate racial justice into their training
9. Preventing workplace discrimination of LGBTQ+ people
10. Requiring non-citizens to be counted in census and taken into account for congressional rep
11. Fortifying DACA
12. Undoing Trump’s expansion of immigration enforcement
13. Removing Muslim ban
14. Stopping border wall construction
15. Extending deferrals of deportation and work authorizations for Liberians with a safe haven in the US
16. Requiring exec branch employees to sign an ethics pledge
17. Undoing Trump’s regulatory approval process
20 million votes have been uncounted

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.
I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.
If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!
Hostages tortured to death. Parents executed in front of their children. Doctors beaten. Babies murdered. Sexual assault weaponised. No, not Hamas crimes. This is part of an ever-growing list of documented atrocities committed by Israel in the five months since 7 October – quite separate from the carpet bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and a famine induced by Israel’s obstruction of aid. And yet while the western establishment media has been chock full of the most lurid allegations of savagery directed against Hamas, sometimes with little or no supporting evidence, Israeli atrocities are excused or quickly forgotten. Accusations against Hamas are endlessly reheated to paint a picture of a supremely dangerous and bestial militant group, in turn rationalising the slaughter and starvation of Gaza’s population to “eradicate” it as a terrorist organisation. But equally barbarous atrocities committed by Israel – not in the heat of battle, but in cold blood – are treated as unfortunate, isolated incidents that cannot be connected, that paint no picture, that reveal nothing of import about the military that carried them out. If Hamas’ crimes were so savage and sadistic they still need to be reported months after they took place, why does the establishment media never feel the need to express equal horror and indignation at equivalent or worse acts of cruelty and sadism being inflicted by Israel on Gaza – not five months ago, but right now? Israel's torture of doctors, its sexual assaults of Palestinian women, it's leaving premature babies to die after its forces stormed a hospital. Where is the outrage? This is part of a pattern of behaviour by the western media that leads to only one possible deduction: Israel’s five-month-long attack on Gaza is not being reported. Rather, it is being selectively narrated – and for the most obscene of purposes. Through consistent and glaring failures in their coverage, establishment media – including supposedly liberal outlets, from the BBC and CNN to the Guardian and New York Times – have smoothed the way for Israel to carry out mass slaughter in Gaza, what the World Court has assessed as plausibly a genocide. The role of the media has not been to keep us, their audiences, informed about one of the greatest crimes in living memory. It has been to buy time for US President Joe Biden to keep arming his most useful of client states in the oil-rich Middle East, and to do so without damaging his prospects for re-election in November’s US presidential vote. If Russian President Vladimir Putin was a madman and a barbarous war criminal for invading Ukraine, as every western media outlet agrees, what does that make Israeli officials, when every one of them supports far worse atrocities in Gaza, directed overwhelmingly at civilians? And more to the point, what does that make Biden and the US political class for materially backing Israel to the hilt: sending bombs, vetoing demands for a ceasefire at the United Nations, and freezing desperately needed aid? Worrying about the optics, the president expresses his discomfort, but he carries on helping Israel regardless. While western politicians and commentators worry about some imaginary existential threat those brief events of five months ago pose to the nuclear-armed state of Israel, Israel is quite literally wiping Gaza off the map day by day, quite undisturbed.
