I don’t actually want people to NOT vote for Biden, so I decided not to finish or post this for where I initially wrote it. Seriously everybody blue no matter fucking who.
Examples of Biden being gross:
-
Joe calls a woman a lying dog faced pony soldier. Fun fact: I actually thought this was satire when I read it. WTF is a pony soldier??
-
a slate compilation of Biden telling women not to date anyone until they are 30
Some things that Biden has said are mistakes I can maybe forgive him for, but will make him less electable:
-
not just voting for the Iraq war, but proposing and supporting it years before 9/11
-
supported segregation in the 70s in addition to other important civil rights issues, such as the busing Kamala dunked him for in the debate (I’m not a fan of Kamala either, FYI)
-
history of indirect attacks on pro-choice legislation, such as the amendment preventing taxes from funding abortions for poor women.
-
Has until very recently repeated a lot of outdated and ill-founded “gateway drug” based doubts in cannabis legalization
Policy choices I still hold against Biden
-
His reputation for bipartisan support comes from helping GOP with a lot of racist bills like these. Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act in 94: increased punitive punishments across the board including the death penalty and making drug testing mandatory for parolees. Imagine going back to prison for smoking a joint. You have Joe and the Clinton administration to thank for making that more of a thing.
-
Before Trump, the Obama administration was the WORST for immigrants, and anyone working in food service at the time probably worked with someone who was deported.
-
Biden has bragged about his 1995 counter-terrorism act being foundation for GWB’s terrible Patriot Act surveillance bill.
-
helped inflate the terrible student loan debt and education racket by removing student loans as a type of loan that can be forgiven in bankruptcy.
