I’m probably just speaking for myself, but this particular dynamic actually makes me feel better about supporting Biden. I think Joe Biden himself is a contemptible dumbass whose policy imagination is stuck in a past that never even actually existed, but I think he’s had to surround himself with a lot of staffers in their 20s 30s and 40s who aren’t so terminally dense on things like Israel and student loans and reproductive healthcare and labor unions, and they can actually make him evolve and be a little bit less of a boomer than he otherwise would be. Hopefully they’re able to keep the pressure up.
Exactly, Trunp would be purging these people from his administration, and wouldn’t be holding Israel back at all, if anything Trump might send troops in or order some strikes himself just to feel like he’s partipating in the slaughter.
Biden has shown that he’s movable on issues whereas Trump would just take a sharpie to those issues, or worse, far worse.
“movable on issues”
he took office and immediately backtracked on campaign promises firing staffers, not defending healthcare, told rail workers they did not have a right to ask for better, and not to mention the rest and the recent
campaign promises that went against his and his vice’s whole career so big surprise there
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers says:
“We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."
And I hate to tell you this, but if you want a president who doesn’t back down on any campaign promises, you will never, EVER be satisfied. Because realistic promises don’t inspire voters & win elections, optimism does (at least for Dems, GOP prefers fear)
How is he movable? All he’s done is send more weapons and spread disinformation/propaganda even israel said were lies…
Joe Biden being the one doing it just causes liberals to protest less than If trump was doing it. Same thing with Covid, Biden laughed at masks and took his off while sick and has done nothing to stop the pandemic that is infecting over 2 million people in the US a day and killing 1,000 a day. That’s multiple 9/11s a week and yet liberals act like it’s nothing cuz it’s not trump in charge anymore.
… has done nothing to stop the pandemic…
Bullshit.
A year in, experts assess Biden’s hits and misses on handling the pandemic:
Goal 1: Restore trust with the American people- Experts say on this front, the Biden administration has not made much progress, although they acknowledge how challenging a problem it is.
Goal 2: Mount a safe, effective, comprehensive vaccination campaign- His administration made huge strides in expanding vaccine supply and access, experts say.
Goal 3: Mitigate spread through expanding masking, testing, treatment, data, workforce and clear public health standards- This is an area where the administration has fallen short
Goal 4: Immediately expand emergency relief and exercise the Defense Production Act- The president scored an early win signing the American Rescue Plan into law- “this administration in particular has been quite skillful with respect to its use of the DPA.”- Still, “the main message here is too little, too late on masks and testing,” From Turner’s perspective, the current supply problems have less to do with underutilized federal authority and more to do with the virus itself
Goal 5: Safely reopen schools, businesses and travel, while protecting workers- Schools continue to be a contentious issue the Supreme Court blocking the White House’s attempt to require vaccination or tests for employers with 100 or more workers.
Goal 6: Protect those most at risk and advance equity, including across racial, ethnic and rural/urban lines- The administration has been “moderately successful” on this front, says Benjamin of the APHA.
Goal 7: Restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness for future threats.- This “is certainly an area where the administration promised big but has fallen short so far,” she adds.
You can criticize the Biden COVID response, which seems to be a mixed bag. But you absolutely cannot say he’s done nothing. And he’s certainly moved us in the right direction, unlike Trump who was the single largest driver of coronavirus misinformation.
Movable? Why the do you think his staffers are quitting? Genocide Joe has no plans to change course precisely because people like you support Genocide.
After bombing 20k people he bypasses Congress to send more bombs to israel. He is not movable. He is a pure Zionazi.
Israel tried to get Trump to start a war with Iran when he was in power, and Trump didn’t. There is little chance that Trump would do much worse than Biden.

Bullshit. Trump praises & enables authoritarians worldwide, refused to support the two state solution, emboldened Israeli supremacists by recognizing Jerusalem as their capitol & moved the US embassy there, and cut aid to Palestinian refugees by 80%..
I don’t think he’s a dumbass, I think he’s a man in his 80s that hasn’t/can’t adapt to the times and needs more convincing than should be necessary. I honestly think his heart is in the right place, but he’s just too damn old.

There’s no “right place” for a heart that supports genocide to be.
