You’re missing the point. They’re pointing out that Biden, as shit as he is and genocide supporting, is literally powerless to pass laws with a Republican legislature. Like it is literally impossible, you see that right.
I’m not missing anything and this has nothing to do with genocide. He did more as VP by just standing up and speaking out. Now, he’s been practically silent.
And I don’t need apologists like you lecturing me on how the government works.
I’m not a centrist. I just don’t believe Biden should get credit where it’s not due. As vice president he engaged in plenty of LGBTQ advocacy. Not so much as president.
I apologize. I’ve been getting nothing but pushback here (as you see), and I confused your reply for that.
Look, we have VP Biden to thank for Obama going full-in on LGBTQ policy support. But where is that same gusto, that fervor with President Biden?
Nowhere.
The best he’s done is to reinstate or reconstruct Obama-era policies that MAGAts tore up, but only barely, and he’s done absolutely nothing to push things further. Worse, in the face of the worst onslaught against LGBTQ rights in decades, he’s all but silent.
I understand that the president isn’t an emperor and cannot simply dictate laws, but he can stand up and speak out. Obama did. Once, even Biden did. He did that a lot as vice president. Yet, as president, he has done absolutely none of that for the last four years, and it’s a sickening disappointment.
What’s proven to impossible? Do new laws never get passed.
The lives of the LGBTQ+ community is infinitely better than it was when I was growing up in the 90’s, that’s called progress and I for one am supportive of those changes. Sure we can do more, but pretending things have not improved is just crazy.
The dissonance here is pretty staggering don’t you think?
the only dissonance here is refusing to accept the that he was instrumental in putting us in this situation in the first place and believing that the token gestures he’s given makes up for all of it.
Dude you’re pulling up voting records from a decade ago and one in the 1970’’s. Sure it’s wild, but how about this executive order From two years ago
Way to cherry pick your sources, ignoring the one that supersedes the others ones.
To be clear Biden is a cunt, but even a cunt appears to have grown over time.
You guys love your constitution so much but forget it was written by racist slave owning bigots.
You’ve actually helped to prove my point that things now are better for us in the LGBTQ+ community than it ever has been, had you had Trump in office right now you think it would be better. The Republicans don’t even agree with women having control over their reproductive rights for fucks same.
Democrats are shit, republicans are worse. That’s your choice. Pick one. If you can’t then don’t blame me that you have a two party system.

Whatever dude.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Just because you’re not listening doesn’t mean he’s not speaking.
Centrists gonna centrist. They’re mad at reality. I’m the king of the downvotes in this sub haha

I’m saying a lot of the mad replies are centrists. I agree with your comments.

it’s also proven to be impossible when democrats control the legislature; democrats aren’t the answer

things improved in spite of biden et al; not because of them.
Well if you’re not going to give props to ANY president for any positive changes, how on earth can you shit on them for any negative changes.

Im going to need some examples here fam cause im not entirely sure what you’re actually talking about specifically.
here you go:
biden voted against gay marriage
biden voted against gays in the military
biden affirmed his stance on anti-gay marriage in 2006
biden supported banning gays in federal service eg executive order 10450
