Biden is behind closed doors, off the record saying all the things we want him to. -unamed source

Super high quality article from what I read. I am so stoked to vote for seniel old man again. Seniel old man does all the things I want.

    Oddly, I'd trust someone closer to senility more than someone who can't even spell it.

    Oh no I typed a word wrong on my pocket square. I must be stupid. Always a solid assumption. I'm going to stay home on election day just for you.

    Outside of the cynical bluster of all your comments in this post, you've certainly convinced me of that assumption.

    I'm sure I did. I spend a lot of time trying to convince people how smart I am by correcting grammar and spelling on the internet like a snooty cunt. It's no surprise you think I'm stupid.

    In an article filled with public statements? And multiple public sources? Sure one part talks about an unnamed defense official, but I think that's an extremely disingenuous appraisal of the article. And it's hardly a vote Biden ad.

    Also, learn to spell senile if you're going to insult people's intelligence.

    I'll learn to care about spelling and proof reading in a world where everything I give a fuck about has auto correct when you learn to eat shit. Video evidence is required.

    Well the first sentence doesn't really make sense. But here's a video of Biden saying invading Gaza would be a big mistake.

    Biden has been so busy fighting for $15 minimum wage.

    No, I mean fighting for any of his campaign issues.

    No, I mean selling weapons and nothing has fundamentally changed lol

    https://www.reuters.com/legal/bidens-15-minimum-wage-federal-contractors-blocked-by-us-judge-2023-09-27/

    Biden did issue an executive order mandating a $15 wage for federal contractors. It was blocked by a Trump-appointed judge.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/25/us/politics/federal-minimum-wage.html

    He attempted to put it in a reconciliation package, but it was blocked by the Senate parliamentarian, so it would have required 60 votes to pass. The Senate had 50 Republicans at that time. I probably don't need to remind you about the literal circus that is the House right now.

    So, given the impossibility of legislative action after an earnest attempt, he tried to unilaterally raise the wage for federal contractors that he may have had unilateral authority over, but a Trump-appointed judge stopped that.

    You might notice a common thread of Republicans stopping both of these things, so it's genuinely fascinating that you then somehow condemn Biden as being the one at fault here, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding you.

    Yea the man with the biggest media platform in the world has his hands tied and is unable to fight for what he supposedly believes in. I guess it’s because because of all of his good friends who keep voting against him, and there’s nothing he can do.

    Don’t give me that bullshit. He didn’t even try.

    this pro-union push really is how we get the workers rights we need. You wanna pass minimum wage? Every single company on earth wants your wage to stay low and they're putting money on our politicians g-strings to ensure they get everything they want.
