The figure comes as part of a new set of polls that show former President Donald Trump narrowly leading Biden in 5 out of 6 crucial battleground states.
So a few things I'm curious about... how would Biden have changed the SCOTUS ruling on Roe? He can't just unilaterally overrule them, and any bills for women's rights that you try to push through congress will get nuked by the conservatives. What's left?
If he's so powerless to do anything why should I vote for him? Literally what have the Dems ever done with regards to abortion rights, other than using it for fundraising? Why do conservatives have all the power to do whatever ghoulish shit they want yet Dems are entirely powerless to do anything about it? Why didn't the Democrats try to enshrine abortions rights into law during one of the three times they had control of the House, Senate, and presidency during the nearly 50 years Roe was in effect (once each during Carter, Clinton, and Obama)? I want them to do fucking anything about it, because despite all the lip service, as far as I can tell they don't actually give a shit. "The GOP would block it" is not an excuse for not even trying.
Regarding the minimum wage... Yes there are still some sectors that are exempted, but Biden did push through an increase to $15/hr that covered a lot of workers. Big surprise, the only ones to challenge this increase were the GOP.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were both Democrats and they blocked minimum wage from passing. If the Democratic Party can't even get their own people in line to pass the most basic things why should I vote for them? The $15 minimum wage Biden enacted only covered federal workers, which is 370,000 / 164.5 million = 0.22% of the entire US work force. And raising the minimum wage was a campaign promise, which he immediately dropped after one attempt and hasn't tried again. Why should anyone believe any promise he makes in the next six months if all he can manage is one (1) half-assed attempt at raising the minimum wage to one that was barely enough to live on a decade ago, let alone now after massive inflation?
What else can anyone do about COVID?
Literally anything???? They did a whole bunch of shit in 2020. More stimulus checks, protections for workers, mandatory paid time off for anyone who tests positive, literally just not ending the things they were already doing. COVID never went away, it's still killing people. Yet they just decided "whelp the pandemic is over, everyone back to work" and COVID was going to be a thing that kills people from now on. He's the president of the united states, it's literally his job to figure this shit out.
I just meant that yeah this is a big blunder and I have no objection to holding him partially responsible for this
You should be holding him entirely responsible for this. He's fully aware of what he's doing and what the weapons are being used for. There's no excuse for genocide.
It's worth noting though that nearly all of Congress is also introducing and voting for bills to provide aid to Israel's genocide.
