The rapper, who had thrown her support behind Joe Biden in the 2020 general election, said she felt “layers and layers of disappointment” under his administration.
You can spend your time convincing them to hold their nose, or convincing politicians to be better.
There’s still 6 months to the election, plenty of time for Biden to pull his head far enough out of his ass to still manage to beat trump. It legitimately wouldn’t be hard.
But that’s where time is best spent. Being loud and demanding more from the people who need votes to win.
Lots of people agree with Cardi on this, she’s just got a microphone.
“I feel like people got betrayed,” Cardi said of Biden. “It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f-----g thing.”
She also said she was concerned about artists of color getting “blackballed” for talking about Israel’s assault on Gaza.
“[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through s— for a very long time,” she said. “There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [U.S.] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help. I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.”
Americans have needed shit like a functional healthcare system for generations, 80 fucking years now republicans and moderate Dems have said we don’t have the money for it. Even tho it would literally be cheaper than the current system.
But we just got billions laying around to fund a genocide?
If Dems want people to vote, they need to actually be a left wing party and help people. Not just be the absence of more damage. That is undeniably better than more damage, it just doesn’t motivate voters.
I understand people not liking Biden. Or even hating Biden for supporting Israel.
I just don’t want another 4 years of undermining Democracy, women, LGBTQ, non-whites, non-Christians, the poor, peaceful protest, the constitution, etc. Every day I see another headline that is direct fallout from the other guy being president.
And yes, it’s Biden’s responsibility to appeal to voters (which I take into consideration even when he does things I disagree with). The same way I blame Hillary for refusing to listen to anybody. But I’m also blaming any voter who chooses to help put Trump back in office.

Many of these things have continued under Biden. People are deluding themselves if they think that voting for either of the two parties, who have been running the show together for more than a century, will lead to any real solutions.
There’s a very real possibility he could lose this election and what has he done to fix things other than feigned outrage and lip service? If he really cared about any of the things you listed, you’d think he’d be working hard to improve his image and prevent them from happening right?
People always mad at others for having standards…
