The Biden Presidency
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
This could go in so many threads, but felt it appropriate here because Biden and Harris get so much shit although some of it is fair, the bits that aren't are mainly those saying they haven't done anything while in power. That's bollocks, they have done an awful lot it's just most of it goes under the radar as they don't shout and scream about it all the time.
What does the office do ? I’ve had a look online and it seems mostly about promoting gun safety pr.
It's a bit vague at the moment, but it's working closely with gun reform and gun safety groups alongside elected officials and police forces to help promote gun safety and gain support for gun regulation and extra safety measures. They also want to work closely with schools, Churches and other areas where mass shootings take place working hard in prevention methods and correct and swift actions to take in response to any that happen.
That's pretty much what I have ascertained from the two guys I've heard talking about it on a link in the thread of the Tweet I posted.
Cheers. That’s sound better than what I first read.
Very big move and very clever as it is one day before Orange Hitler is due to set foot in Michigan as well.
Also the very first time that a sitting president will openly support workers on strike. Unprecedented.
I don't think it's right to post this. This is the kind of post that amplifies the poisonous "both-sides" logic that led to the rise of Trump and other populists. Certainly, we need to be strategic , and understand the compulsions when trying to re-elect the most progressive president of our lifetimes.
ps - the main effect of Elon twitter hasn't been witnessing the open racists - I don't go into the replies of big tweets enough for that - but an endless mind-numbing supply of "progressives", globe emojis, and Dem partisans on my "for you". I've seen 2 variations of what I just wrote on twitter in the past few hours, both attacking the Simpsons joke from the mid-90s about the Dems: "we hate ourselves and can't govern".
But but…the National Labor Relations Board!!!!
It must be odd for these people to spend their free time consuming progressive news and caring about things like house seats. Only to then find out they are less left wing than a bunch of Harvard educated 90’s comedy writers, who also got paid by Rupert Murdoch.
Seeing the reaction to Musk at the border with his shite cowboy doing the floss dance in front people in cages my brain couldn’t help but remind me of the progressives during the Trump years.
The difference between Republicans and Democrats really is the standard of their live streaming gaming setup.
Why should not be posting something that is really happening? Should the ugly stuff be brushed under the carpet?
There’s always a tweet
Tbh the smarter, more effective enforcement uses is the Obama line about smart wars. Doesn’t mean the Biden administration is against building more of the border wall.
Also this doesn’t seem to answer the striping away of protections

The easiest answer is that the American security state, or just WH/Intel generally, wants the wall built. It could easily be stopped. Essentially no divergence between Trump and Biden on this. It's the American ruling faction(s)' preference. Simple. Much as certain foreign policy issues never change regardless of who occupies the WH.
Fact check: Biden makes false claims about the debt and deficit in jobs speech

How many times now did Biden say something and the White House had to clarify or retract it? Whether the US would help Taiwan, now the remark about children beheadings that he had seen.
His mind is gone. He should be retiring.
I honestly think that if this was in the "normal times", when the GOP had "normal" only slightly fascistic candidates, he would have been a one term president. I think he believes, and he may not be wrong, that he is the only one who can defeat Trump. I do not think Harris could do it and, if the Dem's dropped her for someone else, they might alienate a decent chunk of their base.
Would they do? I haven't heard a single Dem voter speak of Harris in a big positive light. The last time was when she gave her acceptance speech talking about female empowerment etc (which was good imho). I guess one could argue her relative invisibility though may be a good thing (?). Imho Pence being Trump's straight up lap dog by pulling stunts like flying to the football game just to leave def did some damage Trump didn't already do himself I guess.
Tuck this poll in with the rest in the 2024 US Elections thread?
Seriously. This guy is the D nominee....in +1 year time still from the elections, to get the second term on January 2025 and finish in January 2029...seriously
If he wins then what the hell will another 4 years of this look like.
He is like a broken NPC in fallout. It’s incredible to watch.
what the feck was that
The only that can defeat trump? he looks like a liability to me. If Trump survives the trials, he will eat him alive in a debate, not in policy but bullying him
it’s like when your trying to reach a word count in an essay so you say any old shit
except I’m not a senile old weirdo (yet)
Again, nobody but you think Trump is some kind of scary debater, or that debates even matters much in the first place.
President Joe Biden’s job approval rating among Democrats has tumbled 11 percentage points in the past month to 75%, the worst reading of his presidency from his own party. This drop has pushed his overall approval rating down four points to 37%, matching his personal low.
Although the survey is not designed to allow for statistically reliable estimates for any subset of the three-week polling period, the daily results strongly suggest that Democrats’ approval of Biden fell sharply in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and Biden’s promise of full support for Israel on the same day. Biden’s current 75% approval rating among Democrats is well below the 86% average from his own party throughout his presidency.

Please put it in quotes or something, I thought you had used ChatGPT to write this post.
"Again"? Maybe i did but i dont recall i mention trump on debates in here. Might be wrong and you are keeping tabs. And no, he is not a good debater, he is just disruptive and annoying but those are the time that we live in. Showman times unsensible times where policy debates are less important and reality show image like are cheered on. And biden seems less and less capable to wisthand a presidential agenda let alome long debates with a bully like trump
And also debating is just a fraction why i think that biden might be the worst D candidate currently. He simply seems less and less capable due to age
This tired trope of Trump 'eating Biden alive in debates' is played. Sure, he did such v. Clinton, but in the one debate they had in 2020, that assertion didn't hold water.
Trump in a debate these days will always be a spectacle, but it will rarely be a W.
Elaborate on Biden not being able to withstand a political agenda.
