not allowed to recognize things like this happening.
That's not why posts like this get downvoted. It's instead because these posts are complaints about things that republicans are most responsible for. It's silly.
That, and people generally don't agree with conservative politics.
On kbin it is displaying 1 upvote, 1 downvote. It seems lemmy has a tendency to miss some comments/votes. I appologize for not considering that first.
Still, the votes on this post are a poor test of Biden's approval/disapproval. Instead you should look at the actual polling. I think if you were to actually ask the 8 downvoters, they have done so because this post is just silly. Because again, nobody likes Biden to begin with.
What counts as an "honest user" then? Because I don't see how such a term could be anything other than subjective/arbitrary/unknowable. You're never going to know somebody's intentions based off of internet comments.
I'm being civil, not spamming, etc. I'm following the rules.
I'm not ignorant of the reason, it's because some people can't handle dissenting opinions. That's fine if that's the case, but if so, politics usually isn't a good space for such people to be in.
Do you have an answer for my question? What counts as an "honest user"?
The whole point of this thread is about which side is worse in terms of government trust. Whataboutisms don't automatically apply here, especially because you didn't actually support your claim with any examples, so I picked one.
the left overwhelmingly wants the government to take more of my money
This is a sweeping generalization. The way to move forward on budget is to stop wasting so much money on corporate bailouts, the military, and to actually fix our shit show of a tax system so that the rich pay their fair share. If we did so, we would have more than enough money to fund the social programs the left wants while decreasing taxes/heathcare costs.
take more control over private enterprise.
Corporations have proven themselves unable to self regulate. They poison our land, water, and sky. They pay poverty wages. They pay executives hundreds of times as much as average workers. They hoard their stolen wealth in tax free, offshore accounts. They price gouge and monopolize. They lay off workers without a second thought. They intentionally make commodities and basic necessities scarce to drive up prices. And they do this all while bribing politicians to keep things this way.
So damn right they need to be controlled better. They can't be trusted to be ethical or sustainable, so they must be regulated.
Not everybody has payed enough into social security to get any use out of it, and not everybody has a 401k/pension. And that especially goes for pensions.
Chronically ill is social security.
Unless I'm missing something, people who are chronically ill are typically on medicaid, not social security. But my question was really about the "heal to a point where they can get off social programs part".
There are many people who will never, for the rest of their life, or for a very long part of their life have no ability to heal or become able bodied. Are you suggesting they get booted off these programs anyways?
They changed tune after they say people didn’t want that and crime was increasing. Yet still some are pushing it such as
Doesn't matter because most democrats never supported it as you understand it.
It shows a trillion dollar deficit increase. Thats spending without a plan.
Which is tame in comparison to how much it grows under republicans. Under democrats the deficit usually goes down, under republicans it usually explodes. That's because democrats are generally better at economics. Republicans just give tax breaks to the rich and borrow the remainder.
When trans rights infringe on the rights of women.
They don't though.

Well I think we all saw this coming.
Do you think you trust the government less than the left?
Seems to be a somewhat common trend, cons saying they don’t trust the government.
Describe what conservativism or what being a conservative means to you.
I’m just curious what y’all think about that aspect of your identity. What’s it based on? What are its limits?
