Bulletins and News Discussion from July 22nd to July 28th, 2024 - Fracas in Dhaka - COTW: Bangladesh

The ACA was written by a republican think tanks and obama takes all the credit for the shittiest parts. Dems are truly hopeless lol

oh yeah? have you considered the bill that's bringing computer chip manufacturing back to America? which, uh, isn't going so well because of the costs of construction, the lack of trained US labour in that field, and the high labour costs compared to manufacturing chips abroad, as well as China's efforts which will inevitably result in much cheaper and probably more efficient and effective chips just like most of the things that China makes compared to the West?

and if that isn't good enough, think about Biden's efforts on the climate. as in, the bad ones. like, boosting American natural gas production, which might not actually be any less emitting than oil due to the methane released. and putting tariffs on Chinese solar panels and electric vehicles while simultaneously failing to create viable, and particularly cheap, mass production of those same products

he is at least good on labour. as in, good at crushing labour strikes if they would have a notable impact, and presiding over a general decline in the number of workers represented by unions over his term. we have to note the good things, though! after all, it makes total sense to give kudos to somebody who only does almost entirely bad things instead of entirely bad things! if you murder 1000 people, you are more moral and noble than somebody who kills 1001

Maybe they meant "great" like as in "Alexander the Great".

Here I’ll answer for them cause I know what they’ll say:

Biden, Obama, Bush JR (so civil), Clinton, JFK, Truman, FDR, Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson

i don't see how even the most turbo lib blue maga people could put Biden over Obama or Clinton. Do they really feel that the last 4 years were better for the vote blue no matter who crowd than the 90s or the Obama years?

Infinitesimal.

He's James Buchanan-tier. I'd say we're headed for something more like the Troubles or the Years of Lead rather than an all-out Civil War, but everyone sees it coming / happening and Biden has done nothing to prevent it. Plus, every president of the 21st century is going to fall in the rankings as climate change gets worse. So even without getting into the death toll in Gaza or here from Covid he's going to be low on the list for the same reasons all of the pre-Civil War presidents are.

Edit - This is using lib logic, which doesn't usually care about things like using nuclear weapons or interning the Japanese or practicing genocide abroad.

I was thinking that too. Here on Hexbear we see either (correct) Marxist takes or uber lib takes we like to dunk on hailing him as the next FDR somehow. But for the average American, if they think about it at all, or future historians this guy's gotta be a new low. I'm happy to see America eat shit, though. Hope every future president continues the trend

he is. :P
