It's not perfect, but when the only alternative is accelerating fascism, you gotta stand for something.

    LGBT rights are the only thing Biden is unambiguously better on than Trump. That being said, he offers what should be guaranteed in a functioning society, and won't actually address the issues to queer people posed by capitalism

        What do you think Biden has done better?

        Biden has been pushing for the same "open up the country, back to normal" policies, and it's not like he waited for widespread vaccine adoption so that it would be safer to do so.

        Sure, people are getting vaccinated now, but that's because we have vaccines now. That has nothing to do with which president is in office, that's simply a function of how long the vaccine took to develop and produce. It just happened to be ready for widespread deployment while Biden was in office.

        I would give credit to Biden on that front if he waived patent protection on the vaccines to allow the vaccines to be produced globally in order to speed up vaccination rates. But so far we've only had empty promises signaling that he's considering taking action, with no actual action being taken.
