    Trump did next to nothing about the pandemic when it turns out “something” was his job

      Hey, be fair. He actively worked to make it worse and committed literal acts of piracy, stealing PPE intended for blue states and giving them to his son-in-law to resell. Remember when Boston had to borrow the Pats private jet to prevent the PPE that the city bought from being stolen? You bet your ass Pepperidge Farm fucking remembers.

        I don’t remember much about that, but it’s easy for me to believe he did about any bad deed after these last 8 years

        I have worked hard to remind some of the Trump-voting Massholes I have the pleasure of interacting with on a regular basis of this. I think I’ve made inroads with at least one of them. I also make sure to bring this up:

        “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy.”

        Trump committed negligent homicide in blue states for political gain.

      Biden also did next to nothing.

      In fact, pretty much the entire West did next to nothing. They don’t care if we live or die.

        I’m not interested in arguing with a BoTH SiDeS liar and never will be.

              I think it’s funny, but I’m still voting Dem downticket myself because I don’t want Trump to have support from Congress.

              Democrats should embrace it. I bet Jamal Bowman wouldn’t have lost if he withdrew his support for Biden, and all the other progressives at least should do the same. Just make the election about the House and Senate and state level races.

                Why do you paper all of lemmy with anti-biden sentiment if you care about preventing trump’s influence? I do not buy it. I’ve seen this behavior from you repeatedly.

                  Because I’m anti-Biden?

                  It’s possible to be anti-Biden and anti-Trump, it’s really frustrating how “if you’re not with us you’re against us” is the norm.

                    You can’t pretend american politics into being viable for third parties. Until something majorly changes to make third parties have a shred of a chance, pretending they are is destructive and it’s definitely often done so on purpose. That’s what I’m accusing you of, since over the course of months you given zero reasons to think otherwise and 200 reasons to think so.

        What he did do was get vaccine distribution working. That made a world of difference in fatality rates

          The person you responded to has not one iota of good faith. I’ve seen them in dozens of threads pushing accelerationist lies. They want this country to burn.

          What does this even mean? Biden just happened to benefit from research that began before he was even president.

          Also continued the Trump policy of spreading vaccine misinformation in Asia to undermine China, causing countless deaths.

              The vaccine was finished in Trump’s lame duck period, Biden had to finish Trump’s job because he’s a psychopath and didn’t feel like doing anything if he wasn’t president anymore.

              But vaccines are not the end of the pandemic. Biden just used them to trick everyone into thinking it’s over.

              COVID is still killing people.

                It’s not the end; it’s not something that ever ends, in the same way that influenza still kills people.

                But vaccines got us from a disease that was killing an awful lot more people to one where it’s one that kills a few.

                  Where’s small pox?

                  Also, China showed that we could have at least had lockdowns until everyone was vaccinated. Instead we let er rip and more people died from COVID under Biden than under Trump.

                    Smallpox is a disease where vaccination once protects you for life.

                    The current round of vaccines for COVID protect you for several months.

                    There’s a difference in outcomes because of that. I’ll also note that a big chunk of China didn’t get vaccinated either, and that we have a really active anti-vax contingent in the US with the support of Trump and the other Republicans.

          What an accomplishment to distribute vaccines so that people can go back to the office/to the shops. Only a superhero could manage that.
