    Hasn't Biden been better with the NLRB, and climate? He also did that big infrastructure bill, and pardoned people in jail on weed offences.

    Like he's been objectively better than trump on domestic policy. And I don't see any reason to think trump would have cut funding to Israel.

      What the fuck are you talking about about? He literally broke up the rail strike, invested in hydrogen infrastructure (a type of fuel that isn't green and pretty much everyone has commerically abandoned) instead of building actual infrastructure such as trains or affordable housing, and only pardoned people with federal weed offenses, which accounts for less than 1% of all weed related convictions.

      I'd argue that he has been worse for domestic politics because people have literally stopped paying attention to the bad shit the American government does domestically as naturally as breathing. He has increased the funding of the border from Trump, lost access to abortion for millions of women, opened up more oil drilling permits across the U.S. and has repeatedly fumbled on trans rights and COVID policy. Nothing has actually changed policy-wise, just optics.

      I don't think Trump would have cut funding to Israel, but that doesn't mean I have to vote for either genocidal removed.
