US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump) - lemm.ee

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

Non-US guy here. I don’t get why there’s a choice whether to vote for him or not, when you know the alternative is Trump.

It’s clear Biden isn’t a great option, and there’s probably plenty of reasons not to want him. But is any of those reasons gonna get better in the next 4 years when his opponent would win?

What makes it clear that Biden isn’t a great option? It really annoys me that such a progressive administration in a very divided government is somehow not measuring up to the ever changing goal posts. The only perfect candidate to vote for is yourself, everyone else is a compromise.

For real, we’ve got the first openly pro-union president, we expanded NATO, student loan forgiveness, actual infrastructure funding, the first administration to openly push back against Israel during war time, all of that in only 4 years. He is the most effective president of my lifetime and I am happy to vote for him again.

Unions oppose/opposed NATO, especially autoworkers. Still more of a pro-union administration than we’ve gotten, I’ll give you. Not sure if putting a “pause” on sending 300 or so bombs to Israel 6 months into a genocide after we’ve sent several thousand or more since it started and vetoing Palestine’s full acceptance into the UN counts as “pushing back” against Israel

Are you thinking NAFTA? I’m not sure unions have much of a position on NATO.
