The stuff in the post isn’t really caused by any issue that you might vote for at the polls, but by politicians who may be gerrymandered into place. The child poverty increase is likely a speedy result of Rs killing the child tax credit, and covid assistance programs running out. The people getting booted from Medicaid is the result of income restrictions that were loosened during covid getting tightened again. Biden has tried student debt relief, but the supreme Court decided to overreach and kill his initial program.
I’m not saying that these things aren’t a problem, but that I think it’s likely that the people posting this kind of stuff are trying to frame it specifically as failures of the Biden admin, with the goal of getting people to not vote, waste their vote on a spoiler candidate, or vote for Trump.
Sure, yeah. My comment was just in relation to the previous comment stating that we voted for what we have- I wasn’t saying Biden is a bad choice. I voted for him and will vote for him again. It’s more the other side of things. The republican side that blocks a lot of people-friendly legislation and are blatently scamming simple folk into voting against their best interests
All that said, if there was a viable alternative to what we have now I would take it. But a vote against Biden (at this point) is just shooting oneself (and frankly most everyone else) in the foot
