I just had a disagreement with someone on Lemmy a couple days ago who said Biden did nothing for the LGBTQ+ community. Maybe we just need more Trump headlines to educate people? Y’know, since they don’t read headlines about Biden
Biden did a lot of good shit. People saying he’s the same or even worse than Trump have completely lost the plot or are just RuZZian bots / useful idiots parroting RuZZian propaganda.
I can translate you you need: the legislation that he passed has nice names but in reality each bill is filled with spending for corporations and special interests (colloquially known as ‘pork barrel spending’).
For example his climate change bill has subsidies and payouts for the coal industry, his CHIPs Act had no oversight or specification about how the money should be spent etc. Biden has approved more oil and drilling contracts than even Trump.
Many Democratic voters get their information from big corporate media outlets, who have a vested interest in protecting corporate interests themselves. These voters end up recieving very little factual information to base their decisions on, and instead end up thinking Biden has “Done a lot of good” because they were given a vague feeling that he has by the corporate media.
You are clearly not well informed. Are you not American?
Presidents don’t make legislation. They don’t introduce bills and except in unusual circumstances are expected to sign them. They can’t modify them.
Secondly, your claims that there is a bill that subsidizes the coal industry is without a source. Please provide a reference to this bill as “climate change bill” is to vague for me to know which you mean.
Congress may wish to exercise its oversight authority with respect to implementation of the programs and policies in the act
and their effectiveness in addressing U.S. economic and national security concerns. Among other potential oversight issues:
the allocation of incentive funding among various types of chip manufacturing (e.g., logic chips and memory chips, mature
chips and leading-edge chips); the adequacy of funding to meet the act’s objectives; and the effectiveness of guardrails
established in the act to prevent the use of incentive funding from enabling further investments in countries of concern or
from being used for stock buybacks or dividends.
My suggestion, for future reference, is that if you are going to make claims you source them. They will be much more forceful and factual and you won’t sound like you have vague feelings about something.
The president does have the ability to block legislation, it’s why you often hear it referred to the president signing various items into law.

It’s like half of the general population supports him, and the other half supports Biden. Who would have thought different opinions on the topic would arise in a public forum.
Okay fine. I’ll accept that. How do you know that he has 25% of the vote? Is there some other method other than polls to determine support? Genuinely curious what your logic behind the numbers are and where 25% comes from. I just feel like both sides are so entrenched in their opinions on their party that they can’t possibly think there are people who would support the other.
I’ll look but the article took how many registered voters and how many votes for trump and votes for Biden. Depending on what you are thinking, trump gets 25% if only 25% of registered voters vote for him.
I have few good things to say about the man, but I appreciate that Trump is using his campaign to highlight this administrations accomplishments.

He certainly has passed a lot of pork and convinced low information voters that it’s something to celebrate, yeah.
Americans and their stupid word salads…

Thirdly, your claim that the CHIPs Act has no oversight is incorrect. Here’s a helpful quote from a helpful FAQ provided by the Congressional Research Service:

What are you? 12?
Presidential vetos come at a cost and can be over-ridden by congress.
Lemmy is infested with right wing trolls pretending to be leftists.
It’s like half of the general population supports him, and the other half supports Biden. Who would have thought different opinions on the topic would arise in a public forum.
Less than a quarter support Trump.
The bigger problem is that almost thalf of the population doesn’t vote at all.
How can the polls show trump ahead and only a quarter support Trump? Are you saying most democrats don’t vote and only Republicans do?
Yes, also polls call landlines. What demographic of people have landlines and will sit in the phone answering questions.
