Amen! I’m assuming Trump is going to win until he doesn’t. I’m also assuming if he doesn’t win we’ll have another 1/6 because there is no way he will drop the fraudulent election BS.
I do. I genuinely do. I know many dislike him because he was responsible for some shit legislation and voting behaviour in the past. Dunno, student loans, crime reform, wars? Those are good points.
He’s a stutterrer and knows how it is get bullied and how to deal with that. He has lost his first wife, daughter and lost another son and knows that tragedies can happen to anybody, and it shouldn’t be a death sentence for a family that already struggels. He has a problematic son and still loves him unconditionally, unlike Trump who probably, actually hates his sons. He has seen how unemployment and low income affected his family, and how unionization has helped. That’s why he, even when he was proclaiming a more conservative platform than today, was always on the sides of unions (except until the striking train workers. Not sure what happened there and I’m sad he acted that way)
He understands and values competency, and nominates and installs officials who know what they are doing, who are actually among the best at what they do, and he listens to them.
If he has the means, he actually does the stuff he promised. He immediatly, literally in his first days of office, raised the minimum wage for all federal workers to 15$. He didn’t have the senate majority to to this for the national federal minimum wage, but what he could do he immediatly did. He stopped student loan payback until they had a plan ready to forgive it (at least the 10k he promised to forgive, which also would’ve made the majority of borrowers debt-free). And when the republican corrupt supreme court struck it down, he already had a Plan B to keep going.
This dude knows how american politics works. Give him the tools, he gets shit done. He got the goddamn 1400$ checks through a Manchin and Sinema senate. He even got them to confirm his supreme court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson. This isn’t and wasn’t easy and he still got it done.
He has done so much that people forgot because the propaganda campaigns immediatly stopped after he implemented the change. I already talked about the 1400$ checks (remember the shitstorm about those for months?) or the marijuana pardons. But do you remember the Insulin cap to 35$/month? Killing the Keystone XL pipeline? Ending Trumps family separation policy and reuiniting the families? Expanded Medicaid and Medicare? Enshrined same sex marriages into law to prevent another Roe vs Wade like overturn? That he used the wartime production act to kickstart the Covid-19 vaccines and literally that’s why we got them so quickly? Ended that muslim travel ban? Rejoined the Paris climate accord?
Give that guy solid house and senate majorities for four years and the US will become a fucking amazing country.
It’s worse. Because of gerrymandering and voter suppression, democrats on average need to win the popular vote in state and national elections by 11 points just to overcome the bias towards Republicans and win a simple majority in the parliaments.
I do. I genuinely do. I know many dislike him because he was responsible for some shit legislation and voting behaviour in the past. Dunno, student loans, crime reform, wars? Those are good points.
But he has changed. He really has. And even if some of his personal views may have not changed, for example, about marijuana, he still adheres to his parties platform and public leftist opinion and implements such policy changes. That’s why he gave a federal pardon to everybody who got convicted for simple crimes of posessing marijuana and everybody who will..
I deeply admire this guy. When he cries then he does so out of real emotions. He’s not like those psychopathic politicians who fake cry for personal gain.
