Wow, trying something new, huh? I definitely haven't heard this exact same material every election since the 80s! How fresh and new! big ideas! If only somebody would have come up with "more social programs" and "tax corporations and the wealthy" before! I guess nobody thinking of these concepts must be why none of it ever happens, and not because the executive is just one of three branches of the US government so candidates for president can just vomit whatever hopeful fever dreams they want to, knowing full well none of it will ever make it past congress.
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.

Biden has spent his entire term fucking over progressive and leftist efforts.
Don't let perfect stand in the way of good.
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.
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.
That is not my perspective or my experience. Try again.
Blah blah
Go back to Russia, comrade
Are you enjoying the traitors tax hikes on working people? Guess what that evil piece of shit did at the same time? Cut taxes on corporations immensely and permanently, whilst making the small tax cuts for individuals purposefully expire.
There's clearly one party who at least attempts to help the working class while the hilariously evil and overtly corrupt party does everything in their power to hurt us.
