Ok. The alternative is to vote for the former president that actually implemented a massive tax cut for the rich. So clearly, it matters who you pick.

Also, Biden has managed to pardon a shit ton in student loans because he could bypass congress. So clearly, it's not just paying lip service, but actually walking the walk when it's available to him.

Vote in a Dem majority in both houses (with a margin so DINOs cant block them), and we can actually get something done.

    It's easy for them to say those words when all they have to do is ignore everything that actually happened.

    Biden's biggest mistake is not being more vocal about his accomplishments. He's greatly exceeded my expectations.

    He definitely has. The first few months of his presidency was crazy too. A litany of executive orders to course correct us away from Trumps massive shithole. The shear speed that "sleepy joe" moved at was astounding.

    It's more the media won't sell that. It doesn't drive clicks. They don't publish anything that doesn't sell and "president does a damn decent job" doesn't sell.

    The sky has been falling forever.

    Fwiw, I totally agree he's done great overall and especially with a razor thin margin the first couple years.

    Biden has spent his entire term fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.

    Glad to hear things are "good" for you. They're not for me so I won't be voting to prop up your experience when you don't event have the decency to acknowledge mine.

    I did acknowledge yours. A president will never make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time. If you're going to hold your breath for the perfect president, you're going to suffocate pretty quickly.

    Biden was fully expected to uphold the current status quo. While he didn't follow through on everything, he exceeded expectations and pushed through a lot of good changes.

    You can find policy decisions on literally any leader that you'll disagree with, but at least he has been pushing things in the right direction.

    That is not my perspective or my experience. Try again.
