That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.
Well, yes. Again, not a high bar.
and yet somehow it’s still a contest
What would you have had him do differently?
End American Oligarchy
What, through some kinda increased tax on billionaires? That’s a good idea.
Increasing taxation on them does not alter their absolute control of our government and democracy
Oligarchs own and control the United States. That is what needs to change.
Take positions that benefit humanity even if they aren’t ‘safe.’
He’s a tool of the establishment, nothing more.
Any serious opposition to Israel’s genocide would have been nice. Not bypassing Congress to rush weapon sales to them would have been nice.
You understand the alternative is going to do both of those things way more, right
You understand that criticizing Biden and supporting Trump aren’t the same thing, right?
When it’s either/or, as it ultimately is - I do not.
And the fact that it’s the russian trolls’ M.O. is not random chance.
You have Jan 6, 2021-early 2024 to criticize away. Time’s up. You may recommence criticizing without helping trump on November 10th, 2024.
Notably, you can join in on your favorite solution without criticizing at any time.
Your lack of understanding is your problem
If you think there is even a remote possibility that anything in American politics would involve anything but the very lowest of bars, then you’re gonna be pretty disappointed. We’re at the point where we’re begging half of the voting public to please refrain from electing treasonous, felonious, fascists. The bar is so low, it may be the only place left on the planet that isn’t full of microplatics.
