Calling Biden “corrupt right wing reactionary” is untrue.
That isn’t to say I wouldn’t prefer Bernie Sanders, or that I agree with everything Biden’s done.
I just think that accusation is inflammatory and baseless. It would be more helpful to use accurate descriptors.
I’m not a fan of him ordering the rail union back to work but he’s also asked for the DEA to review a proposal to reschedule marijuana, acquitted existing inmates on marijuana charges and forgiven as much student loan debt as he is able without intervention from Congress.
To me this does not paint the picture of a “corrupt right with reactionary”
Calling Biden “corrupt right wing reactionary” is untrue.
He was known as The Senator From MBNA for shamelessly acting as if he was working for the then second largest credit card company in the country rather than the US people.
He championed the pro-corporate bankruptcy reform that was so anti-consumer that it inspired Elizabeth Warren to advocate for a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to shield consumers from similarly predatory practices by the rich and powerful.
He’s said that “of course” he’d be more likely to agree to talk to someone if they first donated a lot of money to his campaign.
He’s repeatedly championed cutting medicare and medicaid.
He initially opposed desegregation bussing, saying he didn’t want his kids to “grow up in a racial jungle”
He’s bragged about his close cooperation with such segregationists as racism end boss Strom Thurmond.
He has said that he would veto Medicare For All if congress passed a bill allowing any version of it.
He was the only 2020 Dem primary candidate that categorically ruled out decriminalization of the use and possession of cannabis.
He is one of the staunchest international supporters of a fascist government currently engaged in a horrendous genocide because “they’ve always been our allies, so we need to support them no matter what”
He used to brag that nobody in Washington went to more of the events of that fascist government’s lobbying arm, AIPAC.
If that doesn’t “paint the picture of” a corrupt right wing reactionary to you, that’s not because he isn’t one.
I just think that accusation is inflammatory and baseless
Well you’re half right. It IS inflammatory. Unpopular truths tend to be.
It would be more helpful to use accurate descriptors.
Those are 100% accurate descriptors. They don’t encompass ALL of what he is, but corrupt, right wing and reactionary is objectively three things that he is.
asked for the DEA to review a proposal to reschedule marijuana
A proposal that concluded with no qualifications that rescheduling would be the only defensible course of action. Nothing to review unless he disagrees and wants the war on drugs people to justify it for him.
acquitted existing inmates on marijuana charges
That’s prescribing an aspirin for a migraine while you have but refuse to use the cure for the underlying disease.
forgiven as much student loan debt as he is able without intervention from Congress.
Categorically untrue. It’s within the constitutional powers of his secretary of education to cancel literally all of it, which he would have done had Biden asked.
Biden knew that he’d get pushback from the GOP no matter how much or how little was forgiven and chose small amounts that he still means tested to death, like Dem leadership always do when they do anything that helps regular people more than their owner donors.
To reiterate: yes, he’s objectively corrupt. Yes he’s objectively right wing, and yes, he’s objectively reactionary.
I appreciate your thorough and non-confrontational response, I will respond once I’ve had time to read give your points the time and research they deserve.
He’s an American politician who is 80 years old. Yes, he needs to go. All of them from his generation do. But he’s not a goddamned Nazi, so crawl down off that cross before you hurt youself.
I never said he’s a nazi. I know he’s not. I said he’s corrupt, right wing and reactionary. Then I provided ample examples of him being a corrupt right wing reactionary. Nobody’s on a cross here.
