All right I am going to get a few things out of the way, I have ADHD, and schizoaffective disorder bipolar so I have warped views of the world and I switch positions and get bored a lot. I also only have a part-time remote position on the weekends. And no, I didn’t write this with ChatGPT 4.0. Yes, I have contrarian positions too.
Now despite all of this, I have never changed my mind that Joe Biden is the best overall president in terms of social, economic, and foreign policy in decades and someone who rivals the likes of FDR, JFK, and LBJ.
Social: Joe Biden is for abortion access, LGBTQ rights, hate crimes legislation, trans rights, civil rights over religious rights, and is against conversion therapy.
Abortion access:
It’s no secret that the Supreme Court gave the issues back to the states and that even my state of Ohio, and Texas have created an environment of hell for women. Now I am personally against abortion for my family unless the child’s life would be a living hell, or my significant other disagrees. Joe Biden being Catholic likely has a stronger position against abortion only for his personal life. But abortion is medical care and is most likely a positive externality on the micro side of things, and for women. In terms of the macro lens yes it reduces the population and if you are white it means white women having it means you are being “replaced”. But the definition of whiteness can always expand, and even if it doesn’t who cares. It’s a coping mechanism to identify with some larger group when your own life sucks and if there is no actual discrimination-based mechanism due to said protected class. (Ex. I am proud of being white because of Rome, etc. when I deliver pizzas, and talk smack on 4Chan and Twitter or I am proud of being American while my own life sucks, my children hate me, I am divorced or I am proud of being Chinese, the Dynasties meanwhile my life sucks, I have no high paying job, etc.) It’s a form of coping with insecurity. Not everyone can be a winner, not everyone can belong to a rising power (like being a woman in the West [More on this later], or China in Asia, etc.), not everyone in the status quo power is powerful (poor baby boomers, poor Gen X, working-class Americans)
Moving on, abortion is very important even if you don’t support it. It means protection from rape after you have been raped, it means better materiality care, and it means women don’t immigrate to a country that has better abortion access (Like the UK, and Australia), which would cause brain drain, and lower living standards in the US. And that is all I know about it, for more info go here.

LGBTQ+ Rights:
I support it, and I identify as non-binary whenever they ask me about it on secret employer surveys. I just don’t post about it everywhere. I am straight but would date a trans woman in the future if they basically were 99.99% biologically transformed into a woman and can have children successfully, also if they are hot. But enough about me, it’s important for science and human rights that this gets put in place. What is trans healthcare other than the freedom to be what you want to be? Same with Lesbians, Bisexuals, gay men, and queer. Anything else is authoritarian.
And yes, Joe Biden supports it, and it’s a personal choice that harms no one.
Hate crime protections;
It makes you more free than religious rights. Organized religion is a has-been that has seen the most dynamic people leave it for actual science. Religious centers should be community centers, and religious views as a personal choice, not an I can deny service to a trans cake wanter based on the fact that my organizations have existed for years despite the fact they spoke Latin or had slaves back then. It’s annoying that I can’t create my religion called the simulation keepers where I keep people out based on having degrowth economics, but you can interpret religion based on 1000-year norms to obscure modern society and exclude people from public places of commerce, and public life.
I already mentioned trans rights.
Civil rights and I will add in DEI: There is a growing consensus among Asian men and white men that DEI, affirmative action, and civil rights somewhat are outdated. Since opposition to civil rights is so clownish, I won’t give it my time, but DEI and affirmative action are important. It means better products and better-designed products.
In Genshin Impact they hired some young Korean feminist lady who loved to hate on men, but she ended up designing Furina(Which I am still kicking myself for picking Navia, and the Hydro dragon over her). Her design is amazing, her combat kit is as innovative as Childe’s was. Is she a DPS no, but she opens up more ways to play the game(Even if most of the time as a level 58 all I do is wait for updates, and events, and explore when I have to), No she is not a big titty goth girl but the designs in Genshin are all special and not cringe like the new Tomb raider where rumor has it the reason people in the west design more ‘normal’ looking characters so the woman doesn’t feel bad looking at them and do things such as not have an eating disorder, do plastic surgery and have their male colleagues say stuff like I want to have sex with my character when in reality a well-designed character is well designed even if they are sexy but they need to be well designed(and likely confident) like Guilty Gear vs old Mortal Combat games where they are hot and poorly designed). Also like if your male colleague saying stuff, you don’t like to go to HR for fuck sake. Granted we live in a world where everyone male and female alike is insecure so it will happen still.
Conversion therapy: is a cope by religious right-wingers who hate people who think differently to them. In my opinion, I don’t think trans healthcare is mature enough and trans women need too much plastic surgery to look like hot real-life women, but that is my opinion. Same with gay men, and lesbian women it’s a freedom choice, and proof that almost every religion needs to die, and be replaced by community centers.
Economics:
Joe Biden supports free trade, strong unions, less concentrated economic power, a stable safety net like social security-Medicaid-Medicare and building more houses also expanding the Affordable Care Act as well as better infrastructure, and education
Free trade (minus China, plus NAFTA & USMCA) is a fairly calculated strategy on Joe Biden’s part. While he hasn’t moved the 5nm semiconductor plants away from Taiwan and South Korea to the US, and Western Europe so that if China or the US gets in a war there (Or North Korea and South Korea), we would have enough chips for our phones, AI, etc. He has done well for the US in terms of trade. Because of free trade and likely parts of the previous administration avocado prices are at all-time lows, and inflation is down in the US (minus housing). Because of this, he has led an economic recovery on par with Obama’s and FDR's. Now China is interesting, I read a lot about them.
Yes, it’s not most of the Chinese population’s fault the older men who lead the CCP or CPC want a showdown with the US, but Biden needs a way to punish China for their arms race, and aggressive policy actions in Beijing against Taiwan or ROC. But it’s been brutal for the Chinese population, with massive youth unemployment in China, low-paying jobs, and multinationals leaving(including tech), and this is mostly having to do with Xi’s policies of rabble-rousing against the US(And doing a poor job at it), China could have easily done a more peaceful policy on Taiwan(Increase economic growth, then in an economic depression offer Taiwan to reunify in exchange for a stimulus). (I will state more on the foreign policy part)
Furthermore, Biden’s free trade has meant Mexicans, Colombians, and others have increased living standards. He didn’t interfere in the election of Lula and gets along with AMLO (even if AMLO is a prick on Ukraine like Lula and unlike Lula on the cartels) We have handled inflation a lot better due to Biden’s free trade actions.
Stronger union policies: Appointments to the board on unions have meant blue-collar work, and work, in general, has gotten increased wages. It has also meant people in other industries who have been historically underpaid like restaurants, and retail can demand better rights and fairer compensation. Of course, many CEOs don’t like this, and there has been a small but growing effort by people like Dean Phillips, and CEOs to help Trump. Stronger unions will not occur under ANY republican admin including Haley who would crush unions and union power.
The social safety net is interesting: I used CHIP as a child, and I have a grandparent who will use SS, Medicaid, and Medicare. I find not working boring so I will work until I die, but that option shouldn’t be mandatory. Biden despite a congress that obstructs, does little, and refuses to get a new policy for the modern age passed has prevented social security from being cut Obama who was viewed as willing to cut a deal with Republicans in exchange for them getting along better back then. Also, Social Security could in theory get rid of the cap on income above certain amounts and help it be funded for decades on end but they won’t do that because the upper middle class hates it, and because they recently got rid of deductibles for high earners in liberal states with higher states income taxes.
Joe Biden and his democratic party have attacked NIMBYism (Other than Newsom and the CA democratic party, LA, and San Francisco) or Not in my backyard politics which has meant baby boomers hoard their houses and their beneficiaries who are oftentimes left wing are against more housing for ‘environmental reasons’. Houses are being built everywhere, and 5-over-1s are being built everywhere despite those with housing privilege being against it. In my opinion, Mixed-use development is better.
en.wikipedia.org
Healthcare is complex: one man’s cost is another man’s wages. And Joe Biden has attempted to attack it on the margins, but I suspect I will die before we get Medicaid for all or Medicare for all. That said Joe Biden has spearheaded the mental healthcare age and I would know as I got my ADHD and anti-psych medications(Not Adderall or Ritalin too jumpy), and help America get through Covid 1000 times better than Trump. Can he do better yes, but Congress won’t let him, and Trump won’t get you M4A either. Also, lower drug prices.
www.whitehouse.gov
.
Infrastructure: Joe Biden has created two separate bills on Infrastructure which is two more than the orange distraction. One had to do with America’s crumbling infrastructure and was a general stimulus that got us out of a recession. The other had to do with climate change and clean energy (The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act) If he did nothing but the below, I would still vote for him as an HSR lover. (High-speed rail)
www.whitehouse.gov
Education: It’s tough but Joe Biden has created a better environment for education. His attacks on for-profit private education work, and are evidence-based. He has forgiven student loans based on income which the media hasn’t mentioned but as a college student, I used it to forgive my loans. PS If you want an easy degree that will be the future proof go for English and learn to prompt engineer LLMs. I did economics and political science with a 75% focus on foreign policy.
Foreign Policy: He has the correct policy on the Monroe Doctrine, China, Russia/Ukraine, Iran, and the Middle East, somewhat on Israel/Palestine, immigration, climate change, NATO, Europe, cartels, AI, and drug crisis.
Monroe Doctrine: He deterred Venezuela from invading Guyana for Oil, didn’t attack Lula, and has good relations with AMLO(Prick). We do have not such moral and reasonable policies since the US helped Mexico fend off the French.
China and the US Military: He has stopped Chinese EVs from swamping the US like parts of the EU, and Australia (I like their EVS as a product, but they are dumping them onto us). He has increased arms to Taiwan, sent the Marine Corps to train the ROC military, like Obama has dedicated 70% of the US military there, got Japan to rearm against China, got Vietnam to do the same, Increased Indian-US relations against China, decreased Pakistan-US relations to help India, which is against China, threaten Tik Tok from running interference against the US with psy. ops from their algorithms funded the B-21 Raider Bomber under budget something unheard of, funded a new US Navy destroyer project, funded NGAD and maybe FA-XX, created the M-10 Booker light tan for mountain warfare and more firepower at smaller trooper levels, created missile teams Marine Corp, kept the Abrams factory in Lima Ohio my State open and now it sells them to Poland and Taiwan(I remember my government teacher being against it and whose laughing now), lower F-35 price and created more F-35 capabilities along with Trump(More missiles in Sidekick which was sold to Finland in the HX fighter program), had the balls to deploy the Gerald Ford, and the list goes on. My personal favorite is the C-130s, and C-47s carrying pallets of long-range missiles.
en.wikipedia.org
Russia/Ukraine: Biden has led Ukraine to having F-16s from Europe, modern 3rd gen tanks like Abrams M1A1(Wish it was the M1A2SEP1 and 2), Challenger 2, Leopard 2 tanks, other 2nd gen tanks, CV-90, Bradley M2s, HIMARs with ATACMs missiles, Javelin, NLAW, German Gepards, stingers, UK Star streak which is the best MANPAD in the world. lots of small arms and other anti-tank, lots of long-range artillery like M777 and others, 155mm ammo, somehow got soviet arms for Ukraine. All of this is to save a country under attack by a land-grabbing aggressor. Alongside EU financial support, and support for NATO, the EU which yes is being attacked by short-sighted Republicans will leave Ukraine in a stronger position to eventually get Crimea, the Donbas, and Luhansk********. (If Trump doesn’t win and Congress gets its act together [Okay fine if the Dems win back the house since Senate Rs want Ukraine spending too])
Iran and the Middle East: He has not invaded Iran even though doing so and arming the moderates and liberals could yield a permanent security state against radical Shia and Sunni radicalism, but the logic works since we need to deter states from fighting wars versus launching another Iraq times 1.5. Still, he has maintained global commerce against the incoherent Houthis who at first were like attack on Israeli ships then attacked all Western and Israeli Ships, and then just straight up attacked anyone near the Red Sea. Also, he did try to verbally attack the Saudis but failed because the US consumer wanted cheap energy and low inflation which is reasonable (trying is better than not trying). He left Afghanistan and took as many educated people away from there as possible granted I would have done more like lease whole 777s and 787s and more C-130s plus C-47s to do so but the US political system has its limits on immigration gone numerous studies on how immigration leads to reactionary politics.
Israel and Palestine: Okay this one is a little hectic. I believe that there is a 10 to 30% chance Trump will do better on this issue. He has better relations with Abbas vs the current Israeli PM based on stupid reasons like the Israeli PM congratulating Biden early. But Biden got Israel to not halt water, and will soon end the food blockade as well, and it’s a shift. In my mind, I can see him and Netanyahu getting into screaming matches in private over how Israel has handled Hamas in Gaza so take that for what you will. He has made many remarks against Israel for dropping bombs on civilians and killing indiscriminately.
Didn’t attack Lula, he didn’t attack Lula because the other Brazilian candidate as a Trumper, hated the rain forest for some reason (for the cattle trading with China), and just was an awful guy.
Has good relations with AMLO: I mean the guy is unlikeable, has shit social policies, and good economic policies, and is letting the cartels rule parts of his country like Sinaloa and cross the border. I don’t know how Biden gets along with him given the fentanyl crisis, Hezbollah being in his country through the cartels, and China using Mexico as a route to dump products in the US. That one takes the cake.
Immigration: There are policies where old men grow trees whose shade, they will never benefit from this is one of them. The US has a low birthrate because of climate change and its aftershocks like a worsening geopolitics arena, and so forth. This has led to more income inequality as people seek more bunkers vs community support. Those bunkers won’t help if society collapses. But with more immigrants comes more workers, better food, people willing to build housing, and more patriotic Americans. Every American is a recipient of a birth lottery that they have won (Unless you are homeless, or very mentally ill which I am, but thanks to education I can handle it better). The problem with that logic is the problem of induced demand the more immigrants come to the US, the more immigrants will want to come, and the more will try to come. I would cap it at 1% of the population per year, given housing problems in the top 10 metros which many immigrants want to go to. (Either that or they go to a family member) If immigrants disperse into more varieties of cities like the top 1 to 20 metros, we could see 2%, and if they are willing to build new cities and go to rural areas (good luck with that given racial tensions) we could have 1 billion Americans and still maintain a good, rising standard of living. That would do wonders for our economy, be mixed for climate (cities good, more consumption bad, and stabilize the geopolitical situation aboard. I assume that Biden wants at least 2% a year but that is better than Trump’s likely .5 or 1%.
For my story I happen to be lucky into a family by birth that got to the US via family immigration not everyone is that lucky. For that to happen you need sponsors, marriage most likely, and direct relative relations. That is more luck than being meritocratic and is not in line with America which has been the refugee for the poor, and destitute and later became a superpower because of this investment into future goods of labor. Keywords future goods; means a better future think AI, immigration and babies, infrastructure that lasts longer, education, and good policies to enable it. In theory, you could do land like just extend your coastline outwards but it’s very hard and not efficient maybe if we were a type 1 civilization. This paragraph is at the heart of my ideology which is why I don’t fit neatly in left vs right politics.
Climates change: Joe Biden has thrown the kitchen sink at climate change with a Green Deal lite embedded in the Inflation Reduction Act and has supported every type of green tech that is useful such as Solar, wind, and fusion nuclear. EVs from union car makers, efficient appliances, rejoining Paris Climate Accords. I could write more but I am tired… He has given tax write-offs to people who buy even Tesla whose CEO he does not like for union reasons.
NATO: He supports it, supports an Asian NATO via the QUAD, and has backed Europe vs Trump who stated he won’t defend either Ukraine, ROC Taiwan, or Europe if Russia attacked. Based.
Europe: He gets along with Britain but of course is a true friend and attacks British military preparedness in good faith, gets along with Marcon, and gets along with Scholz in good faith, obviously he doesn’t get along with Hungary’s Orban, and Poland given its new leader which gets better relations with him too, likely got Romania to seize Andrew Tate’s property to counter scams and propaganda. Also supports Ukraine and is shipping US LNG to Europe as of yesterday (Don’t know why he stopped we are in this together).
Cartels: It’s an internal Matter in Mexico, and Biden can’t interfere plus he is attacking the precursors to fentanyl. Plus, the DEA, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, and others are getting better under him. Imagine the border patrol being good guys vs Texas State Militias under Abbot.
AI: A future good in terms of economics, Biden and the US won the AI arms race against Russia, and China because of US tech policy, and the US being more relaxed towards dynamic people who happen to be gay like Sam Altman. Plus, the government and university research helped. Biden has maintained this AI war against China, and Russia and is winning it.
I already mentioned the Drug crisis, but Bidne via dis democratic party is experimenting with drug decriminalization and so fore and while there are hiccups to that he has done a good job at handling it by giving it to people who know more than him on this issue and has lessen weed regulations to schedule 3.
That’s it my hands hurt. I will debate these points tomorrow, no I am not getting paid by BIden most of this is off the top of my head.
Now despite all of this, I have never changed my mind that Joe Biden is the best overall president in terms of social, economic, and foreign policy in decades and someone who rivals the likes of FDR, JFK, and LBJ.
Social: Joe Biden is for abortion access, LGBTQ rights, hate crimes legislation, trans rights, civil rights over religious rights, and is against conversion therapy.
Abortion access:
It’s no secret that the Supreme Court gave the issues back to the states and that even my state of Ohio, and Texas have created an environment of hell for women. Now I am personally against abortion for my family unless the child’s life would be a living hell, or my significant other disagrees. Joe Biden being Catholic likely has a stronger position against abortion only for his personal life. But abortion is medical care and is most likely a positive externality on the micro side of things, and for women. In terms of the macro lens yes it reduces the population and if you are white it means white women having it means you are being “replaced”. But the definition of whiteness can always expand, and even if it doesn’t who cares. It’s a coping mechanism to identify with some larger group when your own life sucks and if there is no actual discrimination-based mechanism due to said protected class. (Ex. I am proud of being white because of Rome, etc. when I deliver pizzas, and talk smack on 4Chan and Twitter or I am proud of being American while my own life sucks, my children hate me, I am divorced or I am proud of being Chinese, the Dynasties meanwhile my life sucks, I have no high paying job, etc.) It’s a form of coping with insecurity. Not everyone can be a winner, not everyone can belong to a rising power (like being a woman in the West [More on this later], or China in Asia, etc.), not everyone in the status quo power is powerful (poor baby boomers, poor Gen X, working-class Americans)
Moving on, abortion is very important even if you don’t support it. It means protection from rape after you have been raped, it means better materiality care, and it means women don’t immigrate to a country that has better abortion access (Like the UK, and Australia), which would cause brain drain, and lower living standards in the US. And that is all I know about it, for more info go here.

LGBTQ+ Rights:
I support it, and I identify as non-binary whenever they ask me about it on secret employer surveys. I just don’t post about it everywhere. I am straight but would date a trans woman in the future if they basically were 99.99% biologically transformed into a woman and can have children successfully, also if they are hot. But enough about me, it’s important for science and human rights that this gets put in place. What is trans healthcare other than the freedom to be what you want to be? Same with Lesbians, Bisexuals, gay men, and queer. Anything else is authoritarian.
And yes, Joe Biden supports it, and it’s a personal choice that harms no one.
LGBTQ Rights | American Civil Liberties Union
The ACLU works to ensure that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people can live openly without discrimination and enjoy equal rights, personal autonomy, and freedom of expression and association.

Hate crime protections;
It makes you more free than religious rights. Organized religion is a has-been that has seen the most dynamic people leave it for actual science. Religious centers should be community centers, and religious views as a personal choice, not an I can deny service to a trans cake wanter based on the fact that my organizations have existed for years despite the fact they spoke Latin or had slaves back then.

I already mentioned trans rights.
Civil rights and I will add in DEI: There is a growing consensus among Asian men and white men that DEI, affirmative action, and civil rights somewhat are outdated. Since opposition to civil rights is so clownish, I won’t give it my time, but DEI and affirmative action are important. It means better products and better-designed products.
In Genshin Impact they hired some young Korean feminist lady who loved to hate on men, but she ended up designing Furina(Which I am still kicking myself for picking Navia, and the Hydro dragon over her).

Also like if your male colleague saying stuff, you don’t like to go to HR for fuck sake. Granted we live in a world where everyone male and female alike is insecure so it will happen still.
Conversion therapy: is a cope by religious right-wingers who hate people who think differently to them. In my opinion, I don’t think trans healthcare is mature enough and trans women need too much plastic surgery to look like hot real-life women, but that is my opinion. Same with gay men, and lesbian women it’s a freedom choice, and proof that almost every religion needs to die, and be replaced by community centers.
Economics:
Joe Biden supports free trade, strong unions, less concentrated economic power, a stable safety net like social security-Medicaid-Medicare and building more houses also expanding the Affordable Care Act as well as better infrastructure, and education

Russia/Ukraine: Biden has led Ukraine to having F-16s from Europe, modern 3rd gen tanks like Abrams M1A1(Wish it was the M1A2SEP1 and 2), Challenger 2, Leopard 2 tanks, other 2nd gen tanks, CV-90, Bradley M2s, HIMARs with ATACMs missiles, Javelin, NLAW, German Gepards, stingers, UK Star streak which is the best MANPAD in the world. lots of small arms and other anti-tank, lots of long-range artillery like M777 and others, 155mm ammo, somehow got soviet arms for Ukraine. All of this is to save a country under attack by a land-grabbing aggressor. Alongside EU financial support, and support for NATO, the EU which yes is being attacked by short-sighted Republicans will leave Ukraine in a stronger position to eventually get Crimea, the Donbas, and Luhansk********. (If Trump doesn’t win and Congress gets its act together [Okay fine if the Dems win back the house since Senate Rs want Ukraine spending too])
Iran and the Middle East: He has not invaded Iran even though doing so and arming the moderates and liberals could yield a permanent security state against radical Shia and Sunni radicalism, but the logic works since we need to deter states from fighting wars versus launching another Iraq times 1.5. Still, he has maintained global commerce against the incoherent Houthis who at first were like attack on Israeli ships then attacked all Western and Israeli Ships, and then just straight up attacked anyone near the Red Sea. Also, he did try to verbally attack the Saudis but failed because the US consumer wanted cheap energy and low inflation which is reasonable (trying is better than not trying). He left Afghanistan and took as many educated people away from there as possible granted I would have done more like lease whole 777s and 787s and more C-130s plus C-47s to do so but the US political system has its limits on immigration gone numerous studies on how immigration leads to reactionary politics.
Israel and Palestine: Okay this one is a little hectic. I believe that there is a 10 to 30% chance Trump will do better on this issue. He has better relations with Abbas vs the current Israeli PM based on stupid reasons like the Israeli PM congratulating Biden early. But Biden got Israel to not halt water, and will soon end the food blockade as well, and it’s a shift. In my mind, I can see him and Netanyahu getting into screaming matches in private over how Israel has handled Hamas in Gaza so take that for what you will. He has made many remarks against Israel for dropping bombs on civilians and killing indiscriminately.
Didn’t attack Lula, he didn’t attack Lula because the other Brazilian candidate as a Trumper, hated the rain forest for some reason (for the cattle trading with China), and just was an awful guy.
Has good relations with AMLO: I mean the guy is unlikeable, has shit social policies, and good economic policies, and is letting the cartels rule parts of his country like Sinaloa and cross the border. I don’t know how Biden gets along with him given the fentanyl crisis, Hezbollah being in his country through the cartels, and China using Mexico as a route to dump products in the US. That one takes the cake.
Immigration: There are policies where old men grow trees whose shade, they will never benefit from this is one of them. The US has a low birthrate because of climate change and its aftershocks like a worsening geopolitics arena, and so forth. This has led to more income inequality as people seek more bunkers vs community support. Those bunkers won’t help if society collapses. But with more immigrants comes more workers, better food, people willing to build housing, and more patriotic Americans. Every American is a recipient of a birth lottery that they have won (Unless you are homeless, or very mentally ill which I am, but thanks to education I can handle it better). The problem with that logic is the problem of induced demand the more immigrants come to the US, the more immigrants will want to come, and the more will try to come. I would cap it at 1% of the population per year, given housing problems in the top 10 metros which many immigrants want to go to. (Either that or they go to a family member) If immigrants disperse into more varieties of cities like the top 1 to 20 metros, we could see 2%, and if they are willing to build new cities and go to rural areas (good luck with that given racial tensions) we could have 1 billion Americans and still maintain a good, rising standard of living. That would do wonders for our economy, be mixed for climate (cities good, more consumption bad, and stabilize the geopolitical situation aboard. I assume that Biden wants at least 2% a year but that is better than Trump’s likely .5 or 1%.
For my story I happen to be lucky into a family by birth that got to the US via family immigration not everyone is that lucky. For that to happen you need sponsors, marriage most likely, and direct relative relations. That is more luck than being meritocratic and is not in line with America which has been the refugee for the poor, and destitute and later became a superpower because of this investment into future goods of labor. Keywords future goods; means a better future think AI, immigration and babies, infrastructure that lasts longer, education, and good policies to enable it. In theory, you could do land like just extend your coastline outwards but it’s very hard and not efficient maybe if we were a type 1 civilization. This paragraph is at the heart of my ideology which is why I don’t fit neatly in left vs right politics.
Climates change: Joe Biden has thrown the kitchen sink at climate change with a Green Deal lite embedded in the Inflation Reduction Act and has supported every type of green tech that is useful such as Solar, wind, and fusion nuclear. EVs from union car makers, efficient appliances, rejoining Paris Climate Accords. I could write more but I am tired… He has given tax write-offs to people who buy even Tesla whose CEO he does not like for union reasons.
NATO: He supports it, supports an Asian NATO via the QUAD, and has backed Europe vs Trump who stated he won’t defend either Ukraine, ROC Taiwan, or Europe if Russia attacked. Based.
Europe: He gets along with Britain but of course is a true friend and attacks British military preparedness in good faith, gets along with Marcon, and gets along with Scholz in good faith, obviously he doesn’t get along with Hungary’s Orban, and Poland given its new leader which gets better relations with him too, likely got Romania to seize Andrew Tate’s property to counter scams and propaganda. Also supports Ukraine and is shipping US LNG to Europe as of yesterday (Don’t know why he stopped we are in this together).
Cartels: It’s an internal Matter in Mexico, and Biden can’t interfere plus he is attacking the precursors to fentanyl. Plus, the DEA, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, and others are getting better under him. Imagine the border patrol being good guys vs Texas State Militias under Abbot.
AI: A future good in terms of economics, Biden and the US won the AI arms race against Russia, and China because of US tech policy, and the US being more relaxed towards dynamic people who happen to be gay like Sam Altman. Plus, the government and university research helped. Biden has maintained this AI war against China, and Russia and is winning it.
I already mentioned the Drug crisis, but Bidne via dis democratic party is experimenting with drug decriminalization and so fore and while there are hiccups to that he has done a good job at handling it by giving it to people who know more than him on this issue and has lessen weed regulations to schedule 3.
That’s it my hands hurt. I will debate these points tomorrow, no I am not getting paid by BIden most of this is off the top of my head.
