I kind of can’t stand Biden, in spite of the many surprisingly good things he’s done in the last few years.

But god damn if this isn’t the kind of action from Meta that can only help Trump.

I am sorry to feel that this decision from Meta has much more to do with certain ongoing wars and preferred candidates than any “EU legislation.”

Meta wants Trump. Meta wants fascism.

Meta knows these Trump Republicans can be easily duped.

He isn't great, but he has done some pretty good thing. (Lots of not good things too, obviously.) He's taken steps with student loan forgiveness, he's empowered the FTC and DOJ to enforce anti-trust regulations that haven't been used in far too long, and he's done a good number of other things too, but nothing else large is coming to mind at the moment.

They suck at communicating, but they have actually done some good. Biden is far from my choice of president, but it does seem like the progressive faction has at least moved him in the right direction. It's far from ideal, but he isn't that bad.

Lol you think progressives moved him

He is STILL desperately trying to win conservatives. DNC fucking DESPISES us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, conservative for sure want to forgive student loan debt...

Care to use your words and explain? It sounds like you just want to complain and only make things worse. What did I say that wasn't true?
