Nice job including it in the list. I think it is sick to try to bribe me (with any of those things) into supporting genocide. Also, be honest with yourself, out of all those things you listed do you genuinely think Biden would somehow deliver on any of them (except the genocide)?

Nice job including it in the list.

I mean, I think it’s cool and good, but it was still lame to downplay the importance of the choice of your vote by choosing it.

supporting genocide

Again, I’ve laid out in great detail why I think it’s the least genocide-supportive action possible for us to make at this time* and therefore why it is explicitly the opposite of supporting genocide.

* voting + direct action would be better, but since that includes voting, it doesn’t matter for my point here

Also, be honest with yourself, out of all those things you listed do you genuinely think Biden would somehow deliver on any of them (except the genocide)?

I really don’t want to have to keep a list, because I think this stuff is obvious, but I feel like at this point I should.

Unions: Biden is the most pro-union president in history. Example:

https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/joe-biden-labor-union-endorsements-donald-trump/?intcid=CNM-00-10abd1h

"Nearly all the major labor unions have endorsed Mr. Biden. The board of the AFL-CIO, which represents 60 unions and has over 12 million members, was one of the first to endorse him in June last year, 17 months before the general election.

Over 30 organized national labor groups have endorsed Mr. Biden, including LiUNA, a construction workers union with many Latino and Black members, and the United Auto Workers (UAW). Many endorsed Mr. Biden in 2020, and exit polling shows he won 56% of union households nationwide, compared to 40% for Trump, nearly double 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s support."

Anti-monopoly actions: Within about one week, the following anti-corporate actions occurred:

These aren’t all anti-monopoly per se but I had this list on hand and it’s similar enough imo

Infrastructure: See the infrastructure bill and its effects

Healthcare: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/03/06/fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-new-steps-to-lower-prescription-drug-and-health-care-costs-expand-access-to-health-care-and-protect-consumers/

Loan forgiveness: This happens like twice a month, most recently today!

An excellent cabinet: idk literally just google them. I’m not explaining how what we have now is better than Betsy DeVos & Co. Biden picked a cabinet and he chose well.

And many other good things that aren’t exciting but are extremely important (here’s the most recent Biden article I’ve seen): https://lemmy.world/post/15676395
