There’s so much more. Are you saying you prefer the Republican version of all these policies?
I prefer the repeal of taft Hartley and the abolition of the nlrb. the respect for marriage act repealed doma but who authored, introduced, and voted for doma?
lifting the ban on trans people in the military isn’t good: he should be dismantling the military industrial complex instead of giving it a link and purple paint job.
how many “welfare reform” bills did he author and vote for before his presidency? I’m not saying some of what you said is worse than republican policy. some of it is a vast improvement even over his own past policy. I’m saying he’s not good enough.
I know the difference, but the poster above me was giving Biden credit for legislative action so I thought it was fair to demand legislative action. does that only work if I’m sucking the dick of racist democrats?
