So I've been thinking a lot about the Ukraine conflict with Russia and have been keeping up with articles on it. As many know, China has joined Russia, essentially, as an ally. And it's looking like North Korea will join them as well. And while I completely disagree with everything they've been doing, especially their human rights violations, I can't help but understand and even agree with a statement from someone within one of their regimes said:
"Everybody knows full well that the U.S. uses human rights to settle scores with governments not to their liking."
And...where's the lie? I wish they would have taken it further to mention the human rights violations the U.S. itself has made against its own citizens under the Trump Administration, but they probably don't seem like violations to them considering all the horrible shit they do to their citizens. And while these violations don't happen like they did under Trump, the Biden Administration is still falling short of what it promised. We're halfway through this term and what change have we really made? Look at how much damage they were able to inflict during their 4 year stint and we haven't been able to really repair ANY of it. We still feel the effects of what Trump has done to us and we probably will for many years to come at this rate. I'm terrified that after having Trump as president, then going to Biden, won't do anything but push people back to Trump. I feel like the only way to prevent that is to walk back a lot of the things he did. And don't get me wrong, Biden has done a lot of good while he's been in office. But he hasn't done everything he's promised and I feel like he could do more in other ways. This country is reeling from what Trump has done to us. From insurrection to the overturning of Roe v. Wade., we will feel this for years and years. And Biden is still quiet on so many subjects that his words and support could make a difference on. It hurts to come upon articles or hear news that he hasn't offered any support towards certain situations after everything we went through and after all of the faith we put in him. Biden was always a likeable man since he became more known under the Obama Administration, but I wish it would have been Bernie Sanders. He was the man for this job. He was the man that would have made a big, BIG difference and I'm sad that Democrats were forced to choose Biden simply because the DNC chose him. They backed the wrong horse. I just hope it doesn't cost us all the 2024 election.
