What facts? I pointed you to the facts and you just made shit up anyways.

You're lecturing me on logic yet you haven't even mastered basic reading comprehension. "Republicans" is not the same as "all Republicans" or "every Republican". Had I used either of those you might have had a point but I didn't because I'm not an idiot.

It's not about making fascists "happy", and no, I have no delusions on that account, and I don't consider anyone expendable. But, if we went into the next administration without a defense funding bill, Republicans would still get what they did, and have the chance to attach anything else they wanted as well. The choice the Democrats had was this, or worse than this, so Biden signed.

Going into the next administration, Democrats will have zero power to be complicit in anything. The people "shoveling vulnerable populations into the maw" will be Republicans - the same people that do it today.

You just want no accountability as your party turns quisling.

Wow, you have no fucking clue how I feel about holding Democrats accountable. I just hold them accountable for the things they actually have power over. I've ripped Harris to shreds over her cowardly hiding from trans issues in the campaign, and Biden before that. I've been advocating for overthrowing the Democratic establishment for 30 years.

Your understanding of the railroad strike is deeply incomplete. The following is from an IBEW statement.

"We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.

Here are 8 Ways the Biden Administration Has Fought for Working People by Strengthening Unions.

Here is an article covering Biden's consumer protection and anti-trust initiatives. Lina Khan was Biden's appointee to the FTC, and she did amazing work in her short time in office - even pissing off a lot of Democratic donors.

1 or 2 Republicans? That's such a creative way to do logic that I'm impressed!

Yeah, I totally concede. Straight up. In fact, I'll bet that the average Democrat is worse than 1 or 2 Republicans on every issue! You fucking got me, LOL.

"You're dumb."

An overwhelming vote is not the same as an enthusiastic vote. The bill got 100% of the Democratic vote in the executive branch, yet Biden was far from enthusiastic about that provision.

The Democrats had to compromise with Republicans on something, and Republicans choose which issues to compromise on, and which to hold firm to. The Republicans chose trans people, not the Democrats. It's possible that the Democrats could have offered some other group, but they don't have the power for it not to screw any vulnerable minority. That bill was never going to arrive at the Senate.

Cowardice and centrism have nothing to do with this bill. I'm the first to agree that Democrats are cowardly centrists, but not in this context. When Democrats have to compromise with Republicans to pass critical legislation, that legislation will definitionally be more "centrist" than the Democrats themselves.

Where cowardly centrism comes into play is in presenting their case to the American people. I absolutely do blame Kamala and her consultants for totally avoiding trans issues in her campaign. But, when the election is done, the country doesn't operate without compromises with elected Republicans.

I'm not sure why you would assume I got everything I wanted. The trans stuff is just the start of what I don't like about this funding bill. I also have no doubt that if the Democrats owned both branches that there would still be a lot I don't like, but I think the trans provision would be gone.

It was unfair of me to say it was your fault that Republicans chose to force the trans issue in this bill. It's not. It will be your fault when they do it next time though, because you are rewarding them for it.

Biden made serious progress for unions, consumers, and in antitrust. I'm not putting him up for sainthood, but progress is progress. He was the most progressive president of the last 50 years which, sadly, is a super low bar.

Politics is compromise. Biden is not supreme leader of the United States. He shares power with Republicans. The Republicans will get some wins, and every one of them will be ugly and outrageous. If America wanted to support trans people, they should have elected a Democratic House.

That man on the street and his like have murdered plenty of people and will continue to do so until they are stopped. It has fuck-all to do with state executions.

The class war is literally war, and only one side has been taking all the casualties. It's about time people fight back. The moment we can lock these people up for their crimes against humanity I will be against killing them.

Yes. Neoliberalism fails wherever it is tried, and the US managed to export it across the western world. What's going on in the US isn't unique and the same dynamics apply.

Fuck no. Biden, Harris, and the Democratic consultancy machine did not run a presidency or a campaign that came within a million miles of supporting that claim.

In a populist age, like we are in, what beats right wing populists (fascists) is left wing populists. The Biden presidency nudged the party in that direction, but neither he nor Harris were capable of running a populist campaign.
