  • Yes really. Obama promised hope and change, and with a few notable exceptions, he delivered not fucking things up for 8 years.

    Biden promised to clean up Trump’s mess. He’s done this, and taken massive action on decarbonization, and kick started American Industry, and revitilised the Labor movement, and added protections trans people and women’s healthcare. Obama’s admin delived one major legislative accomplishment a year for 2 years and then putzed around with executive orders. Biden slammed the exactive order button the first month and then kept pounding it, while passing major legislative wins. He got Ukraine aid through a hostile Congress for God’s sake and that war is turning around. Biden has done more good in 4 years than Obama managed in 8.

    I voted for Bernie. I’m still sore that he lost that primary, but Biden has legit impressed me both with how progressive he has gone and how adroitly he manuved through the legislative process.



  • Then we got the leaks saying the Chinese Military is Fubared by corruption down to the warehouse workers.

    Russia could at least limp into Donbas when their Kiev assault disintegrated. If China tries to invade Taiwan and their missiles don’t launch, it will be a stupidly expensive, deadly, embarrassment. Just ships and planes littering the ocean floor.

    Xhi needs to be confident that his navy won’t get pulled into Taipei ports by tugboat like Russian Tanks in the cornfields.





  • I have not been so sure in my vote in any prior election. 2020 I had no doubts, but then trump launched a coup and Biden turned out to actually have a few progressive bones in his body. Biden has straight up impressed me with his accomplishments with the inflation reduction act, chips act, infrastructure bill, and various other accomplishments.

    Trump is scarier now than he was in the last 2 elections. He has a roadmap to dismantle our democracy and leave us rocking from crisis to crisis like Argentina or Brazil. I think there would still be elections, but the corruption would blow off the charts and millions will suffer needlessly.
