    does not help when there are people not allowed to vote and the only other option is to vote biden who immediately went back on campaign promises such as firing staffers who were cannabis users

    same person who ran with obama and chained someone to a chair for the sole reason she wanted the same rights as everyone else who was running for president and the same biden who is touting economic wins with a federal minimum wage of $7.25

    this has been a problem before trump entered the stage and no trump did not make matters better

    maybe the citizens should be allowed to hear from all the candidates and maybe who gets to be on the ballot should a federal issue and stop going state by state in a “united states” of america on every issue

      Is this the same Biden that just pardoned a bunch of cannabis users from serving their sentences?

      And the same Biden who on 1 Jan 24, nearly half the US states will have their federal min wage raised?

      Look, there’s plenty to criticize Biden for, mostly ALL of his Middle East actions (not just Gaza-Israel), but let’s not pretend he’s all bad and hasn’t tried to help his own people domestically.

          That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.

          And yes, he didn’t pardon enough people. I will agree with you on that all day. But how many cannabis users did Trump or even Obama pardon from their sentences?

          He’s making an attempt despite having a gridlock Congress, and I do commend him for that. That’s why I said “nearly half” bruh. We have 50 states in the US and a few territories.

          Edit: I will concede federal minimum wage remaining stagnant at $7.25 does suck though. Biden can’t force one state to raise minimum wage over another. You got me there, that was a state-loving-their-constituents thing, not a Biden thing.
