      Biden does a bad thing: See? He’s just like Trump!

      Biden does a moderate thing: See? He’s not as left as he should be!

      Biden does a good thing early in his term: See? He’s not doing enough yet!

      Biden does a good thing halfway into his term: See? It’s just to help the Dems in the midterm!

      Biden does a good thing late in his term: See? He’s just trying to appease the people who might vote for him!

        but he’s not stopping he genocide.

        if he protected trans rights and stopped the genocide, sure. I might consider it. too little too late, dude.

          See? He’s just like Trump! And he’s not doing enough! And the things he has done are only to help secure votes!

          Edit to add: Also, my dude, did you forget which post this is on? He’s literally protecting trans people with this move but it’s still not enough. Fact is you wouldn’t support him even if he led the revolution himself. He’s not perfect, but he’s done more to clean up Trump’s mess and help marginalized people than any president in history.

            the problem with that is I expect it to revert the day after the election, or at least not be maintained.

              Sorry, you expect Biden to undo it if he is elected? Or do you just mean that it will be removed if Trump wins. Of course if Trump wins he’ll undo whatever of Biden’s work he can. I don’t have any reason at all to think Biden would remove it after the election if he won. Why wouldn’t he maintain it?

                  Jesus Christ dude, do I need to link you the list of Trump lies told in his four years? What had Biden lied about that’s even close to that!? Trump averaged multiple lies in a day and you’re here saying they are basically the same. If you want Trump to win just vote for him instead of pretending it’s some principled stand against Biden.

          Which party is speaking out against it? And which party has 99% supporting it?

            neither party is speaking out against it. neither party has stopped funding them.

            empty words are empty.

              points to all the democrats speaking out against it

              I can’t tell if you’re a troll or you just don’t read political news. If it’s an innocent mistake, that’s one thing…

                they don’t mean it. their powerlessness is strategic, as it (almost) always is.

                  “I know what other people think so you should trust me instead of listening to those people!”

                  Okay?
