Trump has a much more basic tell when he's lying: his lips are moving.

All right look, I agree eye movement analysis is mostly bullshit, but the fact that he immediately looks away for a second when she mentions his wife is pretty funny.

Biden's agenda got ratfucked by Sinema and Manchin (though we knew what to expect from him from the start). But people aren't going to remember that, they're just going to say Dems had a majority in both houses and the presidency, didn't codify abortion rights (republicans then overturned roe v wade), didn't deschedule or legalize cannabis (just sent a stupid letter with no authority to the DEA who promptly threw it in the trash), didn't expand healthcare, and didn't issue sweeping student loan forgiveness (sued and blocked by republicans).

People aren't making a big deal of the student loan thing because it doesn't impact as many people as a blanket $10-20k would have. I'm glad he's doing what he can for the folks who have gotten relief, I'm still going to vote for Biden again, but none of the student debt relief has reached me at all. There are a lot of people like me and I hope they all still show up on election day.

Sorry to hear that. My IDR payment was significantly reduced after Biden’s first wave of loan modification. It may be worth a call to your provider.

As far as your Muslim brothers, are you seriously going to try and argue that Biden hates Muslims as much as the guy who almost entirely* banned them from entering the country?

*not the countries where he had business dealings

It sure makes it hard for me to vote for him!

I'm going to ask you the same question I ask others when they have this exact same stance, and to which I have never gotten a terribly convincing answer:

Do you advocate that NOBODY should vote for Biden? And if that's not the case, why are you the exception who gets to take the brave moral stand?

They did stop Biden's original, sweeping student loan forgiveness. He's done a lot of small stuff since that loss, so the feds have forgiven $125+ billion in student loan debt affecting over 3 million people. That's not widely known.

Also, while he did gently caress over the railroad unions (given the state of the economy, I'd probably have done the same thing), the contracts they settled for in December were an improvement, and his negotiating teams did get concessions from the railways on sick days, so the unions didn't get everything they deserved, but they did get real QOL improvements.

Yeah this is my issue. I'd vote for a trashcan in a top hat over a guy who is literally plotting to use the military to execute mass deportations the moment he gets back into office and invoking the insurrection act on day 1 of his new Presidency to legally enact violence against protestors.

I think everyone should make their own decision. I think I've given plenty of reasons why I am not voting for Biden this go around unless he radically changes his policies and stances on a number of issues. Which he still has time to do!

But like I said before I was curious to see why other people are voting Biden.

Since a bill has to be ratified by both the House and Senate before the president signs it into law, and since the House is currently being run by the GOP (aka the kids from "The Lord of the Flies") who refuse to compromise with the Dems even on bills that they originally said they wanted, I'm just wondering how Shageletic proposes that Biden and the Senate get around that apparently minor speedbump

E: also nice "if I do vote, I'm going to throw it away in protest", forgot to mention that. Getting strong "going to come in here and concern troll the GBS Trump thread" vibes here

It’s been said multiple times in this thread, and it’s not really a joke:

We don’t have to wake up every morning wondering what sort of horrible cruel things dementia grandpa has done after the previous night’s binge of Fox News and adderall.

Presidents should be boring at a minimum, and incremental progressiveness is, sadly, a bonus.

(democratic congress passed that, the 1200 nancy bux McConnell said he wasnt going to put up for a vote in senate)

but no trump progressive muslim ban, transgender ban in military and the gutting of usps and sackings at the voa/npr were all done in

On this one I'll be honest and say I think they're going to dump the whole thing and not reschedule it.

I don't think the DEA cares if they look bad if they reschedule it. I think they see how much they get in civil forfeiture and are not going to give that money up.
