Given the problems with climate change, the economy, and civil rights we can no longer afford the choice of the lesser evil. Just as we did with Clinton, Obama, and Trump we are listing documentation on the Biden administration. All are welcome to use as desired.
A good summation of Biden's career is at The Politicians Who Destroyed Our Democracy Want Us to Vote for Them to Save It by Chris Hedges.
The New Progressive Alliance keeps references that allies and friends may use in support of the Unified Platform such as Make Your Case! One of our resources that we maintain is a growing list of references for the article Don’t Let These People or Organizations Fool You As with the Clintons and the Trumps, the large number of references became unwieldy so we gathered them separately. This article will be continuously updated with new references.
Democrats constantly allege the republicans are so bad that people must vote for democrats. Democrats then quickly abandon any principles once in office. Still, modern day Republicans are not traditional conservatives and we should not forget that they - like their democratic colleagues – are also largely on the same wrong path as the democrats. The democrats have better rhetoric, but their actions are largely the same as their republican colleagues. See The Democratic Party is the More Effective of Two Evils.
Nobody’s feet are going to be held to the fire is an excellent article which takes a hard deep look at basic economic assumptions, war, and the Democratic Party by Jeff Roby, a Florida activist.
Biden has not been friendly towards the environment. Federal data show the Biden Administration approved 6,430 permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands in its first two years, outpacing the Trump administration’s 6,172 drilling-permit approvals in its first two years. (See Center for Biological Diversity) Biden also approved Project Willow in Alaska which will emit more climate pollution annually than more than 99.7% of all single point sources in the country and produce the pollution and carbon of 76 coal plants, appointed oil apologist John Kerry for climate negotiation, ignored the huge Ohio train derailment, and cowardly backed down from real climate action at the United Nations. (See COP27)
