I need y’all to understand: Biden isnt losing votes from the far left. He never had those votes, and could never get them.
He’s losing the votes of Muslims and Arabs in Michigan and Philly. He’s losing the votes of moderates who are watching Israel’s final solution in horror. He’s losing the votes of Latinos and Haitians who see the southern border is getting more militarized and more violent every year
[Edit] to be 100% clear: If you oppose Israel’s war on Palestine, but plan on voting for Biden this November,this post isn’t about you.
How is Biden oppressing those groups? We are in this position (bans on healthcare, etc.) because Trump’s three SCOTUS picks overturned Roe v Wade and opened the door for all the insane fascist shit going on right now in the Republican controlled states. A majority of people live in Democratic controlled states that have protections for these groups. Things could get so much worse if Trump is given any more power. His first Presidency already set half of the states in the country back over 50 years in terms of women’s rights. He’s also promised to enforce the Comstock Act which would effectively ban abortion nationwide by preventing medical supplies used for abortion related healthcare to be sent in the mail. Not only that but hate crime rates have also gone up since Trump’s first Presidency enabled white supremacists to express their views more openly.
And Biden did anything to codify abortion rights in the remaining states that it’s allowed? How about packing SCOTUS? Or legislating to remove the blatantly corrupt judges that have proven they’ll do all they can to get any fascist into the presidency if not Trump.
People are facing a genocide whilst your wrinkle old fuck hands the perpetrators weapons to finish the job: gaslighting muslims, black people, and women to vote for a genocidal freak who did nothing to protect them at home OR abroad is a total affront to basic decency let alone sense.
Abortion is already codified in some states that are under Democratic control. But Biden is President of the US, not of each individual state. He doesn’t have the power to write or enforce state law. His Department of Justice is challenging some state laws in court. It is not codified at a federal level because Democrats do not have enough votes in the Senate or House to do that. Packing SCOTUS also would require Senate approval.
And I didn’t gaslight anybody or say who to vote for. I only asked how Biden contributes to a fascist America and pointed out that the extremism in this country resulted from Trump’s presidency. The damage that Trump did to this country will take generations to fix and Biden doesn’t have the power to fix everything on his own.
The first part of your post would make sense if Biden just entered politics a few years ago. But hes been in politics for half a century.
Biden has been near or at the helm of US power for about 30 years. He is the face of the ‘bipartisan consensus’ that got us into this neoliberal hell of forever wars and dictator judges.
I mean, you put the blame overturning Roe entirely on the supreme Court. Do you know how long Biden was on the judiciary committee? He should’ve resigned in disgrace for how he treated Anita Hill. In hindsight, seeing how Thomas’s confirmation was handled should’ve made it clear that Roe’s days were numbered.
