- trans rights have not been protected under Biden, and have begun to be stripped away without any backlash
- didn’t codify Roe, now it’s dead under him
- Ha, Biden loves oil
- People still go bankrupt due to medical debt
- He’s trying to sanction a cure for diabetes because it’s more profitable to treat than it is cure.
- it got shot down, Biden still owes me over 10,000 dollars
- not enough busses, not enough trains.
- literally supported segregation
- just repeating bullet points with different wording for filler
- covid is being swept under the rug as if it no longer exists, and a new bird flu is likely brewing in addition to that due to our fucked up food industry.
- cant even legalize weed. Maybe he’ll free a couple high profile black people before the election though.
- yes
- define “ceasefire”
Wait what the fuck about a diabetes cure?
Ty!
Chinese stem cell therapy which was successful in human trials

REAL CHANGE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!! WE JUST NEED TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME
Just because literally every liberal president during your lifetime was a disappointment at best doesn’t mean the next one will be too
Even if those liberal politicians had the best of intentions, what do they have to say for the fact they have done NOTHING to resist the white ruling class’ SIX DECADE LONG TEMPER TANTRUM over the civil rights act? Hell, Biden did nothing about the oil cartels raising prices together as one likely as protest over a non-republican in office.
“You have to vote for Biden for now, but once we get ranked choice voting you can vote third party.”
“Oh, does Biden support ranked choice voting then?”
“No.”
Canadian Obama literally ran on ending FPTP, pretended to evaluate the alternatives, then said there was no consensus on which alternative to switch to so why bother.
Changing election systems means power giving up the path by which it got to power. Guess how likely that is.
RCV/instant runoff doesn’t actually create opportunities for third parties either. Plenty of places use it and still have duopolies or single party rule. There’s also fptp systems that have multiple parties engaged in government.
It’s almost like political power doesn’t flow from votes.
It’s an improvement and I could see some argument for holding your nose and voting for a lib if they were actually gonna do it, but when the candidate doesn’t even pretend to support it it’s just another reason to oppose them, it’s entirely self-defeating.
So…how’s those Trans rights and DEI doing under Biden?
Over 20 states banned medical care for transgender people.
Over 400 anti LGBTQ laws proposed 2023
Over 300 in 2024 just in January
Hate Crimes Against Queer and Trans Students Quadrupled in States With Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws
Healthcare reform? What healthcare reform? A single drug? OMG M4A AT LONG LAST!
Majority of debtors to US hospitals now people with health insurance how’s that
Obamacare doing? Still want to keep kicking the can pn actual reforms?
Meanwhile in super commie land
Chinese scientists cure diabetes using stem cells in world first
Infrastructure?
we just had another damn fail. Every month are stories of major structural and systemic failures. It’s been a joke. Meanwhile 
is actually doing great works, high speed rail, and modern architectural achievements. We aren’t building shit anymore.Biden’s Green Mold Deal isn’t even enough to keep up with the damage done by climate enhanced storms. It is 1/10th of a limited period of even begining to address what we need to do.
Loan forgiveness? Oh you mean all the people who you say qualify but when they apply you deny them or say “oh…it’s only a small part. We didn’t mean everything if you qualify…oh and then you had to have had the money paying on that debt…so if you couldn’t pay or if your debt is recent, then
welcome to pragmatism honey”Denied Student Loan Forgiveness? Biden Administration Unveils Appeal Process
WHERE IS THE COMPARISON FOR THE GREEN PARTY? or the PSLWHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
And even their shitty save loan forgiveness is getting blocked by courts. He’s really doing a lot there
Nearly 100,000 transgender youth live in states that banned access to health care, sports, or school bathrooms in 2023
Oh, you expect Biden to do anything about the red states banning trans existence? Those are STATE ISSUES!
Also, yes, Biden does indeed have the ability to completely bypass Congress on matters of sending colossal amounts of weaponry to states actively wiping out millions of people. That’s just how things landed! The system just happens to be this way! Total inability to do good things and not even vague oversight when doing bad things! If you think this is bad, then vote! …nobody is running against changing those systematic issues except third parties, and the two parties have no reason to change this and many, MANY reasons to keep the current system intact, and we have no real way to exert power over them due to our refusal to even withdraw our votes let alone take major co-ordinated national action, but…
Reminder that Biden has been sending weapon packages to Israel in shipments just under the mandatory congressional review limit, something better known as the crime of structuring for us plebs
Excellent post, thank you!
“Trans rights” just being a binary checkbox is fucking killing me
also “american democracy” mentioned wowee this is an all timer
Reminds me of in 2020 I saw a post detailing Elizabeth Warren’s platforms and one of the bulletpoints was simply “Healthcare”
“Trans rights” is actually the name of the ship transporting bombs to Isntreal
Tumblr is seemingly full of the least materialist-minded liberals you’ve ever seen. The entire framing of “you have to vote based on what the candidates claim to support” even if they were honest about it, is on its face a shit idea when BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT, AND ONE HAS BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR 11,000 YEARS BEFORE THAT
THEY HAVE TRACK RECORDS
Liberals in general treat politics as prayer and ritual to a pantheon of polytheistic gods. You must perform the Biden voting sacrament or else the nefarious Putin will ruin this year’s grape harvest.
Nate Silver is the temple’s leading haruspex. When he predicted in 2012 that the volcano god would not erupt based on the entrails of a bird, he was widely applauded for being correct among the townsfolk.
Social fascist gaslights public to prop up a genocide, holds more minority groups hostage as bargaining chips
Just like a trolley problem!
Being able to distinguish between things the Biden admin has paid lip service to and the things the Biden administration has actually meaningfully changed challenge. Level: Easy, Result: Abject Failure
- Trans rights will keep getting better in blue states who give a shit and worse in red states regardless of who is president
- Last time I checked, Biden is doing nothing about abortion, again, blue states who give a shit will do what they do no matter who is president
- Yeah Trump is probably gonna be worse, but Biden isn’t doing any meaningful reform
- See above
- No clue, so can’t comment
- lmao
- LMAO
- Just kill me already
- Probably better than Trump, but I think the bar for that is 6ft underground
- What the fuck does this even mean? Also, like, no? Biden has completely ignored COVID.
- Sounds unlikely 12 and 13 are mutually exclusive. You can’t militarily support a genocide while also being in favor of ending said genocide.
13: Anyone who calls it the Israel-Hamas war is talking in bad faith.
Trans rights will keep getting better in blue states who give a shit and worse in red states regardless of who is president
Worse in some blue states too. Washington state dems passed a forced outing law, although a judge just stopped it.

Getting outflanked on the left by the judiciary is just…
When it comes to the “ceasefire”, I’m pretty sure this means the Israeli proposal of “Hamas surrenders unconditionally and Israel continues genociding unopposed”.
Yes I am a single-issue voter. My single issue is that I don’t vote for people who are actively committing a genocide.
These little assholes know they’re not changing anyone’s minds. Deep down they probably want to see Biden lose so they can spend the next four years feeling smug on the internet that themselves, the good upstanding liberals that are, advocated for Biden but those evil horseshoe tankies got Trump elected. The feelings of moral superiority is what they crave, but they also know the left has the morally superior position (and it kills them that we don’t even care about being “morally superior”).
Edit: I want to tell one of these nerds who makes these charts: “Death to America, I love humanity infinitely more than I do this country. So add a few foreign policy issues like “forcing Ukrainians into a meat grinder”. Then weight domestic versus foreign issues in proportion to the population of the US versus RoW, and then see how the points shake out.
My single issue is that I don’t vote for people who are actively committing a genocide.
If I ever have kids, I would so fucking disgusted with myself if they asked me what I was doing during the Palestine Genocide and I said “…I voted for the person carrying out the genocide.” I can’t even imagine. It’s like if you were German and your parent or grandparent did nothing during the Holocaust; you’d be so ashamed to be associated with them.
Oh libs absolutely love it when their party is out of power because then they get to pretend their party would fix all these problems if they just were in power. When they’re actually in power, then they have to make excuses for their impotency and that’s no fun.
Chart isn’t even right, way to generous to Biden specifically
Biden’s policy “wins” always sound like when my boss makes me write performance review bullet points for myself when I haven’t finished a damn project all year, so it’s a bunch of “spearheaded exploratory efforts to design and implement _______” and “provided technical expertise for [re-]architecture of ______” bullshit that, in the end, amounts to “I tried but you motherfuckers wouldn’t let me because you hurled 80% of the team’s support tickets my way without even attempting to share those efforts amongst the other devs,” except Genocide Joe doesn’t even have that excuse.
Burned-out nerd rant
I’m not even joking about the support workload vs. time spent on project work shit. Case in point, I finished modernizing a fairly critical process last August and it still hasn’t been promoted to our Prod environment because the primary stakeholder has been “too busy” to sign off on it. The usual turnaround for something like that is like a week or two, tops, and none of the core functionality even changed. It was about 75% throwaway work when they requested it two years ago, and it’s probably getting chucked out at the end of next quarter. Love burning 160+ labor hours on cleaning up coworkers’ garbage-tier code just to be able to extend a piece of software without breaking a bunch of other shit, all because the middle management fiefdom think that “160 hour estimate” means “it will be done in exactly one month” and don’t even question why a “trivial” change has a one-labor-month estimate tacked onto it.
I can’t believe that I’ve lasted as long as I have at this place. Turnover under my previous supervisor was a huge red flag right out of the gate, but at least he has moved over to a different section to go be a disorganized, out-of-touch bougie doofus over there. The damage is already done, though, both in terms of toxic team/org dynamics and my own mental health.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Yea I’m not sure how they haven’t figured out that posting these charts or pre written walls of text and having anybody who isn’t already blue Maga go “bullshit, bullshit, bullshit” to all their claims about Biden just makes them think the person who posted it is a fucking liar, and they’re currently talking about how great Biden is.
Idk I have reservations about this attitude because I have close friends on discord who are definitly not Blue MAGA. They’re like, soft baby leftists who think a revolution would be good but are also trans people in red states who are scared as hell of certain things. They seem to genuinely believe that Biden is better on all or most things, pretty much everything except immigration which they will admit he’s been worse, and consider voting for him and other Democrats to be a matter of simple self preservation. I try telling them our talking points on here but most of them bounce off. But they are like, sincerly well meaning, not trying to manipulate things. They just want to live lol. I take a more empathetic stance I guess because of my experiences there.
In particular I’ve found that our points about Roe being lost under Biden and the ratcheting up of anti-trans legislation happening under Biden are total flops with them. Not because they don’t care about those things, the second thing is the main reason they’re scared, they just absolutely cannot see why we blame him for that. They’re caught in certain mindsets and just… cannot seem to break out. Not in the way I’ve communicated it anyway.
And these are fairly intelligent people as well. One of them is the person I’ve had the best talks with about her Jewish identity vs Zionism and she is actually like, radically anti-Zionist. But the one thing that she seems stuck on despite her growing radicalization everywhere else.
The other reason I am a bit more empathetic is like, basically up until the Gaza genocide started in earnest I was sorta still in their mindset? I wasnt going to vote for Biden only because I don’t live in a swing state. Gaza made me reconsider some things, particularly my stance on lesser evil voting.
hey’re like, soft baby leftists who think a revolution would be good but are also trans people in red states who are scared as hell of certain things. They seem to genuinely believe that Biden is better on all or most things, pretty much everything except immigration which they will admit he’s been worse, and consider voting for him and other Democrats to be a matter of simple self preservation.
But if they live in red states, then their vote for president is meaningless since we all know Trump will win those states anyways. If Trump is going to win anyways, then lesser evilism doesn’t apply since lesser evilism is a form of consequentialism which presupposes that your actions has causal effect on the outcome. You don’t need to read theory to come to this conclusion.
I think they still believe in the US on some level. They (and many people on this website frankly) refuse to see the presidential election for the sham election that it is. You know the popular image of a banana republic where people “vote” for president by checking a single checkbox with a giant portrait of the president looming over them. That’s literally what it’s like voting in non-swing states. In a red state, they are offered a choice for who gets to be president while a giant portrait of Trump hangs over them. The only reason to participate in the sham is for purely cathartic reasons, so it’s perfectly reasonable to interrogate why they will experience cathartic release when they put down some genocidal white supremacist dipshit named Joe Biden.
they act like that worthless old fucking pig hasn’t been sitting his dying ass in the oval office for the last 4 years and like we don’t know that he obviously doesn’t give a fuck about any of that besides funding israel
going behind congress, outside the law to give child murderers child murder tools: just normal statescraft, he doesn’t want to do it!
having his “keystone” legislation blocked by single members of his party or literally unelected rulebook-scolds: he tried his very best, these are the most important issues to him
HOW DARE YOU CARE ABOUT OUR COLONIES
Babe wake up, it’s time for the weekly /r/curatedtumblr left bashing post
usually it’s reddit or twitter posts, so I might as well occasionally bring along some moderate-wing fascists from tumblr to round out the only 5-6 platforms on the internet
For sure, the silver lining of seeing them on reddit is knowing they’ll be dunked on here
It’s a nice addition to the weekly /r/curatedtumblr transmisogyny post
You clearly don’t care about the state of American democracy
Me, a non american, with the biggest grin on my face: YES!! HAHAHA, YES!!!
American democracy? Sounds like an interesting idea, when does it start?
