MODERATORS
Yes, that's accurate.
Biden definitely hasn't supported unions, supported green energy, or lgbt rights.
/s
I swear there is a short-sighted concerted effort to elect trump on lemmy.
Fucking idiots.
supported unions
Biden blocked the railroad strike in 2022, which was asking for sick days and improved working conditions for rail operators

Coincidentally, that was shortly followed up by the East Palestine train derailment a month and a half later, caused by a mechanical failure due to safety standards being ignored in favor of maximum throughput

Additionally, East Palestine still has not been cleaned up properly. Residents are dealing with insane medical conditions because their homes have been poisoned and their government has abandoned them.
supported green energy
More fossil fuel has been extracted during biden's administration than any other time in this country's history
Lgbt rights
550 anti-trans bills have been proposed or passed across the country since 2020. Mr president has done nothing to stop that flow and protect trans people.
So true and even the demand of the unjust man is an argument to moderation fallacy. Theres no reason to ever presume the middle to be the correct place, simply due to its middle-ness.
For example, if I said the sky was predominantly yellow and you corrected me saying "no, the sky is predominantly blue" would it be reasonable to conclude that the sky is predominantly green?
Exactly
