US News

I mean seriously: what is he running his campaign based on? Feel free to look around, usually you can find campaign promises on a Candidate’s official website or their social media pages, but Hasan brought up a great point, when you go on Biden’s site, you see how to donate, how to buy merch(aka donate, the markup on everything in those “stores” is ridiculous) how to work with them (free labor) or basic stuff like Privacy, Terms and Cond., accessibility, etc. Notice the lack of Campaign Promises, Issues he runs on, or even something as trivial and basic as an Accomplishments/Accolades list. For fuck’s sake, EVEN I put my accomplishments on a resume for a job that doesn’t require a degree, and Biden’s team doesn’t even have anything useful to brag about for a man running for re-election to one of the most powerful nations on Earth. I also checked out the White House official website and the only issues they have are not updated since like 2020-2021. Ahem, First Issue to be tackled is COVID-19: Well elephant in the room is that Biden didn’t do much, a better job than Trump without a doubt, but more time had already passed, more breakthroughs were made in that time, Covid was slowing down a lot by the time Biden was inaugurated. Granted there are still more cases but far fewer so I’ll give him half a point for that. And that’s being generous. CLIMATE CHANGE: Well, I can’t blame all of Climate Change on Biden, but the 1.5 degree C threshold was broken 2023, in fact it was the hottest year based on global average temperatures, 2024 likely won’t be better. Again, not all his fault, but he really hasn’t delivered on that promise. No points for that one. RACIAL EQUALITY: This one is tougher to prove or debunk, but I will say he didn’t do anything about Cop City, he helped to build parts of the Border Wall that he dumped on Trump for and has most likely forgotten that BLM was ever a thing. So no points for that one either. ECONOMY: This one is anecdotal I admit, but goddamn look at inflation, gas prices aren’t awful but food prices and clothing prices are rising fast. I don’t think Biden supporters would even give him that one, so again no points awarded. HEALTHCARE: lol nope, next. IMMIGRATION: Bro built part of the border wall, arrests and deportations are still very common. Not to mention that he did nothing about Greg Abbott’s crimes of kidnapping (he illegally bussed migrants to Blue States with no communication or planning with said Blue States, essentially leaving them homeless in Midwest Winters). I want to give him a negative point for that, but he doesn’t have a full 1 point yet, so I’ll just give him a zero for that. RESTORING AMERICA’S GLOBAL STANDING: This one is weird, like even when other countries thought Trump was an idiot, the US was still seen as a dangerously powerful nation. Also, just kinda confused, what is our global standing supposed to refer to? Does it imply that we are respected around the world for having a mature world leader? Because Trump was about as stupid as Dan Quayle (GB Sr’s Vice President)and George W Bush, and apparently those dumbfucks didn’t ruin our reputation or “global standing”. So how is Biden, our oldest president who routinely has gaffs and senior moments, the best and brightest we can offer? I guess a few European countries like Biden better because he’s a tiny bit smarter and nicer in person than Trump is. Lastly I’m gonna touch on his ads quickly. It’ll be pretty damn quick because I’ve only seen like 2-3 ads for him. One has Obama in it, one is just Joe talking about how he isn’t Trump and that he may have to face him again, and the last one is an ad where he tries to come off as energetic and determined. None of these ads are memorable for more than 10 seconds. It’s easy to forget his messaging because none of it is tailored to him. Besides the fact that he was VP, there’s no reason to put Obama in the ad, he isn’t on the ballot, he’s retired. People are also reluctant to vote for a man who may or may not survive the entirety of his second term. And Kamala Harris as VP isn’t helping that reluctance.
