TL;DR:Ā A critical lens on US President Joe Bidenās tenure reveals devastating global interventions and economic struggles for working-class Americans. With foreign policy mishaps and rising poverty at home, critics question if Biden's presidency widened the gap between elites and common folks. š§š
š Genocide Abroad? The Dark Side of US Foreign Policy š£
Since Biden stepped into the White House, his foreign policies have faced massive backlash. Under his leadership, the US has intensified military support in conflict zones like Yemen and Ukraine. š„ Reports claim this has worsened civilian casualties and exacerbated humanitarian crises. According to a 2023 report by Brown University, over 900,000 people have diedĀ due to US wars post-9/11. šļøā Many accuse Biden of continuing Americaās imperialist streak rather than opting for peace-driven policies.
Key š critics highlight:
Billions of dollars funneled into arms and wars while social programs at home receive cuts. šø
Strategic interventions in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East have allegedly destabilized democracies.
Is the world seeing a shift from America as a "global leader" to a harbinger of instability? šŖļø
š Home Sweet Home? Economic Despair Looms šļø
At home, the economic story isnāt any brighter. Despite promises to rebuild the middle class, Bidenās policies seem to favor corporations.š¹ Rising poverty rates:Ā The poverty rate in the US shot up to 12.4% in 2024, leaving millions struggling to make ends meet.š¹ Healthcare woes:Ā Over 30 million Americans remain uninsured, with Bidenās public health initiatives falling short.š¹ Corporate greed:Ā Mega-corporations rake in record profits while working-class families face stagnant wages and rising inflation.
The US worker, especially from marginalized communities, continues to shoulder the burden of the nationās economic inequalities. šāļø
š± A Growing Push for Change ā
Not everyoneās sitting silent! Grassroots organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and labor unions are rallying for a more equitable society. From advocating for universal healthcare to pushing anti-war resolutions, their voice is growing louder.
Even globally, nations like China and India are challenging the US hegemony. Is the world moving towards a multi-polar orderĀ that could finally hold American imperialism accountable? š
