Massive infrastructure bill that just funnels money to companies like Comcast and Spectrum and othet corporations who’ll squander like they have every other time they’ve been given money
Student loan forgiveness that does nothing to change the insane and continually rising cost of attending college.
Marijuana rescheduling that does nothing to address the fact that 40 states have already legalized it for medical use and 25 states who’ve legalized it for recreational use.
This is little more than a bunch of empty gestures and lip service to make it seem like they’re improving things when in reality, very little is changing (and to give people like you hollow talking points to list as accomplisments). This is why so many people don’t even bother to vote anymore because the whole system is stacked against us.
Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, rejoining the Paris agreement, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans not enough policies for you?
I’ve seen the need to point this out: Dems have had all 3 (of house, senate, presidency) for 4 years out of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton that goes to 6 years of the last 32 years. Want to add Bush senior? Then it’s 6 years of the last 36 years. Want to add Reagan? Then it’s 6 years of the last 44 years. That’s right, 6 years out of the last 44 years that Dems had control. And for filibuster proof majority they had 4 months of the last 44 years. Not years, 4 MONTHS of the last 44 fucking years.
And you want to ask why things haven’t happened?
If you want progress, give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.
I don’t disagree, but that’s a bit like a teenager telling their mother, “This meal is shit. I was hungry HOURS ago.” Can we not be happy things are changing NOW? Is that somehow not allowed?
If you’re happy with being hungry for hours before being given anything to eat, then good for you I guess? We can do better. Being kept hungry and given crumbs isn’t healthy, it’s positively abusive.
In which ways? motions to everything being crap
There’s plenty more, but my expectation was for him to not be Trump which he has thoroughly succeeded at. The rest is icing.
The biggest things he’s disappointed on, Trump disappoints on too…:
…so it’s easy to see how that on balance he has exceeded expectations…

That bar was extremely low huh?
Yes. Being better than Trump is a low bar.
Are you confused about what’s happening here?
It would be nice if we actually had policies we could champion instead of just “not Trump”.

return2ozma: “There are policies we can champion that are more than ‘not Trump.’”
Honestly, no, it’s not. We should have had those things decades ago.

This is like blaming Obama for his terrible response to Katrina.

That should be the bare minimum. Crumbs.
“What about policies?”
“Here’s some.”
“Not THOSE.”
That’s it? That’s all he’s supposed to do while millions are still struggling?
Single mom: “I’m working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We’re about to be homeless.”
“Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!”
The bar was Trump
It’s silly to downvote you for wanting the leaders and representatives of a country and its people to be held to a certain standard.
I mean, politicians work for us. We’re their boss. They should be working their asses off for the people.
Frankly we should be sacking the whole lot of them for gross misconduct.
