$15 national minimum wage- No
Robust Medicare system- Lol, lmao even
Actual climate change plan-
He did give us funding for neo-Nazis in Ukraine and for genocide in Palestine, so celebrate the small victories, I guess?
someone needs to make a website that does nothing but show what the buying power $15 minimum wage would look like today ($20.32), compared to 2012 when “Fight for 15” started
I have pressed libs on these things and they say that Biden has made “serious progress towards these goals” and “he’ll surely accomplish them in his second term.”
Liberals are beyond the pale, truly
“he’ll surely accomplish them in his second term.”
“he’ll surely accomplish them in his second term.”He’ll surely accomplish them in his second term
Is he going to list the same goals for 2024? His campaign site only asks for money, it doesn’t mention his platform
Edit: Switched to an archive link
It’s depressing to see people fall for the same carrot-stick nonsense year after year. An administration could arguably accomplish one major reform during a single term, even if it tanked their career. There are empowerments the president can use to do this (libs will often use you personally not being able to detail each legal subversion necessary as proof the acting president actually cannot do what they campaigned on, however this is a coping mechanism, as they refuse to believe that the person they
d for can be ideologically bad).If Biden actually cared about anything he campaigned on, even if it were just one thing he was the most passionate about, he could have worked over the past three years to execute a plan to make it happen, even if it led to his impeachment. But he hasn’t, because he doesn’t, because the system he dedicated his career to uphold is working as intended.
Best I can do is the most brutal massacre of this century…The most brutal massacre of the century… so far. Just wait till climate migration really gets going.
A politician lied on his website? WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS UNHEARD OF AMERICA IS IN SHAMBLES
okay sure he lied about one or two things but do you really think he just lied about literally everything on his website?
Minimum wage: One (1) half-assed attempt at raising it followed by a collective
from the entire Democratic partyMedicare: Costs slightly lowered from “ludicrously expensive” to “outrageously expensive.” Apparently raised the Medicare tax rate on incomes over $400,000 by a whole 1.2%. Maybe not nothing, but still tiny ass changes that don’t fundamentally fix a broken system, and still aren’t single player, universal healthcare. You know, the kind of system that everybody else has that has been proven to work, is cheaper, and doesn’t plunge people into six figures of debt for the rest of their (and their next of kin’s) lives.

In other words nothing fundamentally changed
Maybe not nothing
Nah, I’m sick of trying to be overly reasonable about this garbage schtick liberal politicians enable and engage in
Liberal politicians always do this, instead of enacting something that would be massively popular and genuinely good, they do the most pathetically small thing they can think of to modify the existing structure, like increasing the existing tax on the top .1% by 1.2%. Then you get smug bootlickers who quote the White House website press release that it increased revenues by 50 million (for a program with a 500 billion dollar budget), while also explaining at you that it was actually massively helpful and wonderful for everyone, and if you don’t understand that you’re a moron and a conservative parasite. Or they try and explain that you don’t understand the government, as if they were the only genius who had a grade school civics class.
It is nothing but piss in the wind and I refuse to consider it otherwise
2020 made me lose faith not only in this country but in humanity itself
was good for a few days of hopeThe crushing disappointment that followed those protests was the cherry on top
Nothing will change
Nothing will save us
It really was the tipping point for me, solidified that yes, there really is only one party in the West (the capitalist party) and also that even a pandemic that threatens to kill and/or cripple most of the population will be met with the same half-assed non-solution as climate change. There is nothing that will make them admit that capitalism is a suicide deal. No end to their delusion. They’re a cult. There is no reasoning with a beast like that, so it solidified for me that the only way out is revolution.
I really feel like the left should have made a bigger deal about the shadow app shit in the 2020 primaries, I feel like the whole “we won’t make a scene if Bernie loses” might have been exactly what the Dems wanted.
It didn’t make me lose faith in humanity, though, it just confirmed without a doubt that, yes, the tankies were right after all.
How can people still believe the dems will stop the right after a full term of them not doing anything to stop the right?
Every promise will be broken, every pseudo-progressive bullshit they spew is a facade, they don’t care about trans peoples, black peoples or anyone that isn’t a wealthy strait white men or a cop.
If you look at what they are actually doing it’s no better than what the republicans are doing.
It’s especially vexing when it’s Gen Xers and boomers. Like I get if it’s some zoomer or younger millennial who only just became aware of politics in the late teens and hadn’t been burned yet. But when it’s people who’ve been through multiple dem presidents failing to live up to the promises still believing that
for team blue is going to meaningful evolve anything, that’s sad.After decades of not doing anything to stop the right.
After decades of helping the right
During Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s press conference, I asked why Democrats were negotiating curtailing immigration with a party led by Mr Trump.
“What Donald Trump said and did was despicable, but we do have a problem at the border and Democrats know we have to solve that problem, but in keeping with our principles,” he said.
Just another drop in the ocean of monstrous things they’ve helped conservatives do
liberalism is when you don’t literally say the words ‘blood and soil’
