President Joe Biden has endorsed a ban on congressional stock trading in an interview that’s being released this week. It's the first time he's publicly backed the idea.
Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.
You just never looked into what they’re really doing, and for some reason media isn’t keen on reporting all the good proposals and legislations they were doing, I wonder why.
This administration was the best one in centuries, both in terms of legislation and in terms of administrative work. The only question they aren’t good on is Palestine, and incidentally it’s the only thing that media suddenly cares about, I wonder why(2).
I largely agree but let’s not forget Afghanistan. Trump contributed but the Biden admin was elected to be the adults in the room and they looked totally disorganized and incompetent during that.
It’s such a good thing there is an alternative that really, really great at stopping genocides. We are so happy that now those evil genocidal maniacs will be out of the office and there will be no genocides forever. They will finally stop pressing that genocide button that they have, which controls genocides.
I mean they do. Theyre different in a lot of ways, i wouldnt normally dare compare the two. But as evidenced by bidens administration and their ineptitude, they dont really care about genocides or the poor. Thats not to say theyre the same. One side doesnt care, the other is actively malicious.
I am starting to believe that Americans trully believe there is a mechanism that starts and stops genocides and it’s located within reach of the American president. This notion is so fucking wild it’s impossible to believe y’all really totally thinking it, but it is jingoistic enough for me to start believing y’all are bathsit insane enough for it.
Do you also believe they have egg prices dial? Oh, by the way, you got your wish, the current administration will be removed from the office, if a genocide will not stop in February, will you eat your words and admit that you were wrong or not?
So, did you not read what I said? I said “all politicians that support genocides get removed, genocides stop”
If all politicians that support genocides get removed, and yet america is still somehow magically supporting genocide, yes, ill eat my words. Itd be real difficult to eat though, as that is fundamentally impossible.
Also comparing a genocide to egg prices is facetious and in bad faith. If you pull another strawman like that im going to assume you are a troll and stop engaging.
Considering they can subsidize anything they want, kind of, yes. Why can’t we have a small temporary subsidy when the chickens get sick on a massive scale? Is that too logical?
If the US stopped giving armaments and money to Israel once it became clear what they were doing and then followed up with actual punitive measures yes it would have stopped it. Israel is committing genocide with the approval of the US.
Believe it or not, for the amount of power they have, they are actually doing pretty good. We probably want them to ditch checks and balances and do good dictatorship for a moment to fix centuries of racist bullshit that permiated the US, but I am pretty sure it’s not realistic. I wish it wasn’t so, but the US is very, very racist country, and it reflects.
Oh come on, don’t give these sandbagging stooges more credit than they deserve. The only reason what you’re saying doesn’t sound quite as batshit insane as it should is that we haven’t had a government that prioritizes the working class even close to as much as the rich since WWII. Biden isn’t terrible compared to his peers but his peers have all been sucking the same corporate dick for so long that no one young enough to know what Lemmy is have ever experienced anything else. Calling that greatness is not being objective it’s just a lack of imagination.
It’s always important to thinglk about things in context and perspective. When I say best administration, I don’t compare it to the administrations of my hopes and dreams, that’s not useful at all. I compare it to what was before and what’s the possible alternatives.
Oligarchs want you to lose perspective, hope, and stop doing actionable things. They want you to believe that unless the administration is doing luxury gay space communism, they are as bad as anything else and shouldn’t be supported. Don’t fall for it.

Is this a new form of “their both the same?”
what…?
I read this as saying both sides (Republicans and Democrats) support genocide.
I mean they do. Theyre different in a lot of ways, i wouldnt normally dare compare the two. But as evidenced by bidens administration and their ineptitude, they dont really care about genocides or the poor. Thats not to say theyre the same. One side doesnt care, the other is actively malicious.
This reads as sarcasm. Except its not so much a button that stops genocides, its… a different mechanism
Every genocide has to stop eventually. Otherwise it’s not a very effective genocide…
Intent is just as important as the result.

If every politician that supports genocide gets removed from office, the genocides stop. What a surprise.

Because the media is owned by Republicans
Yes, other than that they were perfect. For example, they never would have continued Trumps racist border policy.
