    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.

            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.

      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.
