Your arguments are vague, cynical conservative talking points that don’t reflect reality.

Cyincal? Certainly. Conservative? LoL. the reality I live in is the one where [most of my friends struggle](most of my friends struggle) to afford a place to live and raise a family. the one where the average American worker is having to choose between taking their kid to the doctor because it might be RSV or COVID or something; and paying for food the next month.

I have 2 full time jobs, just to be able to not run the risk of losing my home. Most Americans work that or more, and are still living pay check to pay check. Healthcare. Food. Energy. Childcare. All of them remain inflated, and all of them affect average americans.

credit card debt in '23 has also skyrocketed, as well as people defaulting on home and auto loans, and evictions.

What fucking reality are you living in? no seriously. What reality? the one where you don’t actually have to work? Unemployment is one aspect of an economy; but that economy is not working for the average American- in fact, the average American is a wage slave to that economy. Unemployment being at record lows is meaningless when the reality is that most people are working and still can’t afford the shit they need to survive. the US is facing record-setting homelessness; families are burdened to the point of breaking, but you expect us to believe an economy that is siphoning off wealth to very few people at the top is… a good thing?

you talk about the economy like it’s some fucking sterile thing; you do not live in reality. the reality is we’re talking about lives. people’s lives.

Climate change, too. MOST of the actual climate-things passed by biden are tax breaks for things companies are doing any how…Speaking of things people are going to do any how, all those renos in federal buildings… those were things that were being planned for and begged for… years. It has nothing to do with climate change, though. It has everything to do with lowering the cost of maintaining and operating those buildings. is it a reasonable thing? sure. But it’s hardly something laud as action on climate change.

lowering the unemployment rate and improving the worth of the US dollar are not “double edged swords”

putting words in my mouth. I never said the unemployment rate was a double edge sword. I said the improved dollar was. My criticism of the unemployment rate is that it’s a shit metric used to try and convince people on the verge of homelessness that things are actually better, when clearly, they’re not. which just says you- and eveyrbody else waving it around think we’re too stupid to understand basic math and budgeting skills.

But as to the second… LOL. Most people on all sides of the issue agree that it cuts both ways. Exporters and companies that operate internationally (more specifically receive foreign currency as payment for goods and services, to then exchange to the dollar), as well as local US economies that rely on tourism are hurt in equal measure to importers and US tourists traveling abroad.

Issued a plan for major suppliers to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risks and set science-based emissions reduction targets;

“I plan to ask people to do this thing… that they’re all starting to do anyhow because their investors want it.” … aka… taking credit for things other people are doing.

and Launched the COP27 Net-Zero Government Initiative to extend U.S. international climate leadership

the US has been sending people to climate summits since before I’ve been in high school. You remember the Kyoto accords? call me when they actually do something other than blow smoke up everyone else’s asses.

Tuition costs? Besides the direct 5 billion of student debt relief, The Biden administration hasn’t acted legislation that protects low income earners from unsustainable tuition loan debt, there’s still trying to eliminate tuition for State colleges entirely, trying to give out more direct student that relief, and are trying to increase the amount given out by grants and scholarships.

Nothing he as done (increasing pell grant maximums, forgiveness,) actually solves the problem. In fact, the pell grants may make the problem worse (by subsidizing tuition, which, for profit colleges are just going to increase their fees to accommodate the new subsidy… and pay their board of directors more bonuses)

for the Public Service Forgiveness program… You do realize that the people being forgiven have effectively been getting robbed this entire time? with loan servicers screwing them over. This is the fraud I’m talking about. Contractually, they did the time in public service and should have had their loans forgiven ages ago. the servicers did not do that, because… money. “oh my bad. that loan is forgiven now. good luck” is not enough for people who’ve been paying that loan for ages that they should not have been. (and lets not forget the whole point of it is to attract educated people into the public sector.)

Trump, a rapist, committed direct election fraud and spent hundreds of millions of tax dollars playing golf and taking vacations when he wasn’t making absolutely terrible policy decisions.

coming back to my original point, once again: This is not an argument to vote for Biden. This is an argument to not vote for trump. There are hundreds of millions of americans that are both eligible to be POTUS and are not trump. “I’m not the bigest piece of shit” isn’t the same thing as “I am a good person.”
