    He’s a NeoLib capitalist, whose actions in the past have caused much harm to society (e.g. crime bill).

    I really struggle to see what’s to like about him.

      It’s kind of crazy that you had to go back to 1994 to find something concrete to criticize Biden for.

        Oh I can fault him for things today as well, but I like to set a precedent to show a history of bad decisions.

            His inability to act in regards to Palestine and his continued support for Israel going so far as to fast-track weapons to them yet he’s unable to do so for Ukraine.

            It doesn’t matter if he started it or not, he plays one of the the most pivotal roles in what’s happening at the moment.

              You should be mad that Israel is getting weapons when Ukraine isn’t.

              But not at Biden.

              When it comes to Gaza…

              There is no US President, real or hypothetical, who would stop military support of Israel in the wake of the October 7th attacks. And there is no US President, real or hypothetical, who is going to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza before every last Israeli hostage is accounted for.

              Biden’s policies on Israel so far are not far even from someone as left as Bernie Sanders, because rational minds understand that there is no simple solution to middle east peace, nor has there ever been.

              We’d all like to see Hamas release their hostages, and Israel to release those who have been held without due process. We’d all like to see an end to the violence and hostility, and an end to the era where both Israel and Palestine are under the control of fascist authoritarian regimes. Sadly it’s not as simple as sending Jared Kushner over or whatever delusional shit Americans want to come up with next.

              I’d love to see every last dollar of the US defense budget go to whooping Putin’s ass in Ukraine, but that’s also not very realistic.
