When Biden had the White House, Congress, and Senate, many of us expected some legislation on abortion, prison reform, etc that never happened, but maybe if we vote again they will do something. Also, blocking a ceasefire and continuing to punish Cuba isn’t something I can support.
The Biden Administration
You're right, not every problem has been solved. But the alternative is a fascist asshole.
I am absolutely in favor of more progressive reforms. I voted for Bernie in the primaries. But I won't split the vote and act as a spoiler. I won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
We cannot afford this. The next vote needs to very clearly show that anything is better, because it is. As others have said, voting is not about picking who you approve of, but who you'd rather negotiate with. Trump and those like him cannot be negotiated with.
Sorry, I’m 45 and I have been promised WMDs and everything else. We keep voting as the “other side” will start wars, kill abortion, not fix immigration, and here we are. I’m done voting for maybe. Actually do something or I’m voting Cornell West. 30 years of Lucy pulling the football and I actually want some results. Stop saying if you don’t, and start actually doing something.
Killing democracy to spite the Democrats, Bravo 👏
I would say democracy would be for voting and being represented by those with similar values not two slightly different neocon options. Is wanting more diplomacy and less war first mentality anti-democratic now.
If Democrats are going to get anything done, their majority can't consist of an undercover Republican and a coal baron. Biden can't tell them what to vote, so he'd need a majority of people who actually agree with those policies.
