This feels like a troll account for some reason. Stirring the pot pretty disingenuously across the board.

The railroad workers got what they wanted because the admin followed up. So he averted a rail strike and got them their concessions.

The east Palestine disaster isn't this admins fault. It's anl negligent rail companies fault combined with deregulation from previous Congresses and the previous administration. Not to mention both previous Congress and admin sat on an infrastructure spending packages that could have addressed antiquated rail infrastructure. Ironically, Biden managed to pass the biggest infrastructure package in American history (with a divided Congress). With clean energy and resiliency built it. And if I recall correctly FEMA and Co are still monitoring and supporting the clean up.

Your fossil fuel is thing is BS because of course its growing--we've done nothing, our CONGRESS has done nothing to curtail it. The previous admin opened the flood gates on regulations as well. Don't lay that at the feet of this admin. That's absolute horse shit. The aforementioned infrastructure bill included the most investment in green energy ever.

And the anti trans shit is Bidens fault how? He signed the respect marriage act, he reversed the ban for trans service members, and strengthen some of the protections against discrimination re housing and healthcare.

You want lord emperor Biden to go send mobs after statehouses and local governments?? That's not how Any of this works and you know it.

Tell me you only read news headlines without telling me you only read the headlines.

My brother in Christ, "the left" (at least as far as Lemmy presents it) unironically defends Russia making homosexuality illegal because it "opposes western degeneracy."

The people targeted by this kind of image in the comments are people who would have voted for Biden and other Democrats. It causes people to either become apathetic and fail to vote (or do any other meaningful action to influence their government) or to become angry and refuse to vote in protest. But, in order to have that effect it most be coupled with some amount of "both sides" rhetoric or "not good enough" rhetoric. Criticism by itself is not enough.

When the politics of the opposition turns into literal fascism, you better believe I want to be divided away from those villains and, yes, fucking idiots.

That the closest thing to a viable opposition to them insists that everyone who's opposed to fascism vote for someone who's received more money from AIPAC over the years than his current net worth and acts like it is fucking idiotic as well, though.

The most charitable analysis is that they're extremely ignorant. After that, it's they've buried their heads in the sand, which is idiotic. After that, it's that they think things would improve under fascism, which is also idiotic. After that, it's that they somehow think that Trump is actually an intelligent and qualified person, which is also idiotic.
