Donald Trump's own fans are begging the former president to change course as Vice President Kamala Harris now reportedly leads him in seven national polls.
Trump late Thursday night bragged that one of his endorsed candidates, Bobby Harshbarger, prevailed against incumbent Sen. Jon Lundberg in t...
No.
Congress was able to pass some bills that were a little progressive.
Biden just signed them instead of vetoing, which is something literally every other person with a D by their name would do.
Biden was very vocal about how changing anyone in congress’s mind on literally anything, so he doesn’t get to take credit like some magical.puppet master who made it happen.
And the bounceback after COVID…
How much of that was an executive action Biden made happen?
I mean day one he signed several executive orders. He personally killed the keystone pipeline. I believe he was also personally responsible for us rejoining NATO and the Paris accords. He has done a lot of good work.
The only things I’m aware of that he has done poorly is his handling of Israel, and his inability to be uncivilized. He should’ve called trump and the rest of the Republicans out on their bullshit and publicly shamed them every step along the way.
he’s also personally blocking through tariffs truly affordable green energy products from entering this country; especially EV’s and solar power using the inflation act; and has ramped up fossil fuel products to the highest levels this country has ever seen in its entire history.
As for your first point, I believe he created a tariff, he did not block imports. And can you provide a source for your second claim? I’ve not heard that statistic before.
Edit: and to be clear, yeah his tariff sucks ass but it might be good long term because it will help shift American production to greener products instead of just offloading that to green products made elsewhere and shipped here dirtily.
that’s not happening; detroit and silicon valley are not responding because daddy biden and kamala are giving them all the sugar they want and they’ll continue to get it as evidenced by both obama and reagan’s similar bailouts and continuing american subsidies through tax dollars; neither detroit nor silican valley have changed their tunes and have no plans to do so as they did in the past.
here’s a source on the recent fossil fuel records
By offering to subsidize r&d into Green tech, as well as subsidize the development and deployment of that tech, the tech becomes more economically viable than fossil fuels, assuming you don’t subsidize them. Companies will switch to the most economically feasible option, that’s just how capitalism works. Biden doesn’t have the ability to just outlaw fossil fuels, so the most he can do is push the economics towards Green tech.
And thanks for the source, it seems your claim is correct.
the subsidies i referenced have nothing to do with green tech and predate that push by decades.
I have to go to work and don’t really have anything else to comment, so I’ll leave by saying that I appreciated having a civil discussion with you. I’ll also say that I’m noticing you are getting downvoted but no one else seems to be responding, which frustrates me. I get that it’s easier to just downvoted opinions you don’t agree with, but it’s more productive to have civil conversations I feel.
the lemmyverse was created by leftists to be a safe space for leftists views, but lemmy.world doesn’t tolerate leftists views well; it’s the oddball of the lemmyverse and it’s to be expected.
Boy you’re still up the b b b Biden bad! stuff huh. He pushed for things from Congress and he got them through when he had the house of reps and Senate. Yes he does get credit.
