People already are searching for more and better treatments for cancer. It's a multi-billion dollar industry. And it's currently unclear how much more could presently be done to speed up research into it. So it costs a politician nothing to promise they'll revamp cancer research because most people wouldn't be able to notice any changes.
Do you wanna know what kind of changes people can notice? Shit like Canada banning single-use plastics. Shit like Germany closing all of their coal-based power plants. Concrete changes you can point to as both a reference for the works you're doing, and as an inspiration to other people to try and do similar.
Biden didn't invent the fantasy that cancer can be cured, but he seems to have no problem spreading it. You don't seem to understand: cancer biologically cannot be cured, because it's not something where the problem is curable. It's not just a matter of how many cancers there are, but what cancer even is in the first place. It'd be like trying to cure broken bones. The problem isn't foreign agents that need to be quelled, but natural systems breaking down in malignant fashions.
Accessibility is not a separate issue because Biden is vocally opposed to medicare for all. So what's the point of developing improved cancer treatments if more people aren't going to be able to get them?
People don't want a president with a personal issue. We want a president who represents the people they preside over. We can't afford to have someone who's getting caught up in personal vendettas.
So, you've just already decided in your head that people who don't like Biden are being mean to him, and now all of our well-reasoned explanations for being upset with him are getting added to your nag pile, "look at that bitch eating crackers" style.
Just because your arguments are well-reasoned doesn't make them not still go on the "nag pile." You're just arguing technicalities all day and I can argue technicalities all day about why banning single-use plastic and trying to solve carbon emissions will still not be enough before the end times are upon us since the GOP will just block or slowdown all of it.
What the hell is the point of doing cancer research then? What's the point of me taking the bus to work instead of driving my car? Apparently neither will solve the problem they are trying to solve. But it still happens because people care about those issues.
If we didn't have a president who thought we could beat the Nazis, the world wouldn't be the same place. I think I'm okay with a president being passionate about eliminating cancer.
