US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump) (lemm.ee)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I'm hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here... Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

dude has had years to fix what trump broke. biden is, ultimately, a conservative and his actions show it.

drug war. overblown military budget. lack of healthcare. letting dejoy just sit there destroying the post office. not pushing for expanding/changing the supreme court.

any movement on any of these things.

Aren't they rescheduling cannabis soon? Too little too late?

I can't believe dejoy is still in the post office! That's ridiculous

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

yeah, for me the rescheduling is very too little. it should be removed entirely and left to the states.

to put it in some perspective, alcohol.. one of the most dangerous things we do en masse, is not 'scheduled'.

Thy already said rescheduling isn't going to change any federal to state inconsistencies of MJ still being illegal so dispensarys will still be unable to use banks and things like CDLs will still ban you for life from them if you get caught with weed in your system.

Reading up on him, he has implemented initiatives for employee safety during delivery, improved sorting machines, and implementing a 2 cent increase in the price of forever stamps to try to make the usps service lose less money, all of which I like.

But I do think the USPS not adopting a fleet of electric vehicles a few years back was a mistake.

Anyways, I think he’s a net positive. And Biden can’t remove him directly, he would have to be voted out by a committee board.

Apparently decoy is actually doing a damn good job now

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How so? I haven't paid any attention to this

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 6 months ago

I don’t recall the details, I just remember readers by something about how he was shitty under trump, but rise to the position now
