I give Biden nominal credit for paying lip service to some progressive ideas but he clearly has little interest in delivering on his “platform”.
- No significant student debt cancellation yet despite campaign promises.
- Nothing on guns
- infrastructure week is every week again for some reason, except for real now.
-Public option on healthcare? LMAO who even remembers this?
- Nothing is going to get done on immigration.
- Trump’s tax cuts are here to stay it appears despite Biden saying he’d undo them.
- Outmaneuvered by McConnell at every turn with minimal pushback, everyone saw it coming and the obvious ways to avoid it.
- Climate change effort will most certainly be nowhere close to enough.
- How about protecting voting rights? Good job getting Manchin to water down the bill to get zero GOP votes again.
- $15 minimum wage? He let the senate parliamentarian line item veto that out of the recovery bill. No pushback.
- How’s the DOJ going?
- How about Louis DeJoy? He still have a job at the post office?
- Federalist Society Christopher Wray kept on as head of FBI despite the insurrection under his watch.
- $2000 became $1400 unless you made 80k in 2019, then it became zero.
- Instead of looking for ways to uplift people out of poverty, he’s decided to be “tough on crime” Joe Biden this week. Very cool.
- Had summit with Putin for no goddamn reason
- D.C. and Puerto Rico aren’t going to become states under Biden
- The courts are not going to be expanded
-Breyer isn’t going to retire and there’s probably no White House effort to lobby him
OKAY, now the good:
- Pandemic response has been exceptional
- pulling out of Afghanistan
- Juneteenth made federal holiday
Biden advocated for neither of these last two during the campaign but a win is a win.
Dude sold himself as a moderate that could get things done because he knew how the Senate worked and said Republicans would have epiphany once Trump was gone. (Everyone knew this was delusional when he said it too).
Joe Biden, much better than Trump but still pretty awful.
DID I MENTION DEMOCRATS CONTROL HOUSE,SENATE, and WHITE HOUSE?
