IheartIheartTesla Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Quote Joe Biden’s approval rating has been struggling mightily for a year and the US president’s popularity is now shockingly low even among his own supporters across America, with 64% of Democratic voters saying they want someone else to be the party’s presidential nominee in the 2024 election, according to a new opinion poll carried out by the New York Times and Siena College and published by the newspaper this morning. Not looking good, and I have no idea if it'll get better. Biden needs to do something, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartIheartTesla Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I said do something, not solve it entirely. The perception of doing something is somewhat important at this time. For instance, rolling back tariffs primarily with China is expected to ease inflation some. I dont know where he is on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 A pregnant woman got a ticket for driving in the HOV lane in Texas. She says her fetus was her passenger https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/11/us/pregnant-woman-hov-lane/index.html Quote (CNN)Brandy Bottone was driving in the HOV lane meant for at least two people per vehicle in Dallas, Texas, two weeks ago when she was pulled over by police. The officer noted there didn't seem to be anyone else in the car, but Bottone had a retort -- she was 34 weeks pregnant. "He said, 'Is there somebody else in the car?' And, looking around, I said, 'Yes there is,' and he said 'Well, where?' I pointed at my stomach and I was like, 'Right here,'" she told CNN on Sunday. "He said, 'Well, it's two bodies outside of the body, so that doesn't count.' I was kind of in shock, and I was like, 'Well, in light of everything that's happened, and I'm not trying to make a huge political stance here, but do you understand that this is a baby?'" The interaction, first reported by The Dallas Morning News, came days after the US Supreme Court ruled there is no federal right to abortion and declared abortion rights can be determined by each state. Texas, like other states led by conservative officials, has pushed to restrict abortion and has defined a fetus or unborn baby as a "person" in its penal code.

As mentioned above, while that is reasonable it also downplays that Biden and the admin do actually have a number of levers that they can use, one of the biggest ones is tariffs. And consistently he appears to be waiting too long to do something that he could have done and should have been foreseen. Same goes for the abortion stuff he's doing; this is stuff that should have been ready to go as soon as SCOTUS announced their decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's downplaying it at all. Hell, didn't even see this til after posting that, but John Yarmuth - the chair of the House Budget Committee - just emphasized even Congress can't do much about it: Quote “I can say this easily because I’m retiring: Congress really is almost powerless in doing anything about inflation, at least in the short term,” Yarmuth told HuffPost. If you want to say his administration has been too slow to act and/or unprepared to at least put up the appearance they're fighting inflation/abortion, not gonna argue much with that. But I don't think doing such things in an ideal way would be moving the needle on his approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Just now, DMC said: I don't think it's downplaying it at all. Hell, didn't even see this til after posting that, but John Yarmuth - the chair of the House Budget Committee - just emphasized even Congress can't do much about it: Biden has full control over the tariffs though. And has been mentioned for months the tariffs are going to increase inflation. This isn't rocket surgery. Another example is the massive rush to pass some economic bill right before the midterms, even though they've had a fucking year to do...anything. Just now, DMC said: If you want to say his administration has been too slow to act and/or unprepared to at least put up the appearance they're fighting inflation/abortion, not gonna argue much with that. But I don't think doing such things in an ideal way would be moving the needle on his approval. They might not! But they'd actually be doing something, and maybe causing fewer people to be harmed, and having some fucking backbone. And in the case of tariffs it would almost certainly help people right now.
