I usually don’t chime in on people’s opinions, but I’m curious of your reasoning on this. What positive things do you feel Trump would have given us these past few years or in the next few upcoming years? And I don’t know much of RFKJr, mainly because outside of some philanthropic projects, he doesn’t seem to have all that much experience in national/international politics to base an opinion on. What would he do that Trump or Biden would not?

Here are a few Biden accomplishments from this earlier Politico list:

  • Expanding development of renewable energy
  • Expand rights for fair overtime pay
  • Preserve more national forests
  • Fighting against garbage fees and obscured pricing
  • Got funding to incentivize greener farming practices
  • Getting marijuana reclassified
  • Helped many get free of college debt
  • Got a funding bill passed for over 57,000 infrastructure projects
  • Strengthened airline passenger protections

All of those are significant things that Trump would have never pursued.

I am very much not pleased with our border situation, though from some stories I’ve been learning about recently, our border security is still not being quite as racists or murderous as it is in many parts of Europe and Africa. I feel Trump and Co. would have no issues treating migrants worse.

I don’t like the blind support of Israel. It is terrible what America passively participates in all over the Middle East, but funneling more into the destruction of Gaza and the Palestinian people is something on another level. But again, Trump would be no better here in any way I could picture.

But we do get continued support for Ukraine, despite all the constant crying from the Right. Ukraine would be left high and dry is Trump were president right now. And I bet all that Ukraine aid would now be going to Israel.

You’re entitled to believe whatever you want of course, but I’m curious of how you got to this opinion.
