The Biden administration announced a new rule Friday expanding safeguards against potential discrimination of gay and transgender Americans seeking medical care, in a reversal of Trump-era limitations that nixed federal health protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
I find Biden incredibly problematic for a variety of reasons. His withdrawl from Afghanistan was incompetently handled and when he got called out on it, his reaction was “Hey, we had to get out!” when that wasn’t the question. Yes, we HAD to get out, the METHODOLOGY was the problem.
He has the same problem discussing the economy. People tell him they’re struggling and his reaction is “Hey, the economy has never been stronger!”
All that said, he’s a better choice than Trump, and Kennedy, Stein and West are all non-starters.
Yeah, I think he fumbled the withdrawal pretty hard, I think what, like 100 afghans and 13 Americans were killed because of it? And he basically abandoned a lot of our people to a grim fate. It wasn’t just “We had to get out!” either. He also blamed the Trump administration for executing an agreement that “boxed in” America and “constricted” what they could do about it. I’m not sure I buy it, though. From what I’ve read about that situation it sounds more like a “fuck you trump!” act than a patriotic one. I believe there was enough openness in the agreement that it said if the Taliban failed to meet their end of things, the agreement could be null and void, but Biden ignored that part, and just ran with it. I hate Trump, and I do agree with you on that. He is still a significantly better choice, but unfortunately, given the fact that we are a two party system and always have been, even if I think it’s bullshit, even if that’s technically not true, we are very much at a point where we all need to vote for Biden or suffer the consequences. Regarding our economy, I don’t have much more to add there. You’re right. Our country is a mess, and his bullshit isn’t helping anyone. And in my opinion, while I do understand it began awhile ago, I still find his timing with this LGBTQ stuff really convenient. I think one of his biggest issues, too, is that he isn’t great at laying out specifics for things like being confronted about the economy or the things like the withdrawal. A simple deflection without accountability, and he and his administration moves on, not a great look.
