    • deliberately watered down
    • racist and solely to protect hegemony
    • literally supporting Nazis
    • business owners got ppp loans forgiven, child tax credit ended, he still owes me $2000
    • refusing to codify Roe when he had the chance
    • token drop in the bucket and extremely limited in scope
    • worker discipline program
    • and yet the gains of the last several years have gone straight to the top
    • token in a way that becomes racist itself

    Almost none of this affects the average person.

    The Chips act is literally just the government attempting to give a middle finger to China and failing.

    Literally sending billions of dollars to a lost cause from the start instead of spending it domestically on the people he actually is the fucking leader of.

    He under delivered with COVID relief giving significantly less than his campaign promise and cut relief programs waaaay before they should’ve.

    ROE V WADE WAS REPEALED ON HIS FUCKING WATCH

    The lowered drug costs are literally only for people on Medicaid unless there’s something I’m not aware of.

    Inflation stemmed by twisting a dagger into the common person.

    Historically low unemployment because of the pandemic. When you remove that many people from the working population through a disease that kills so many, well, of fucking course you’re going to have low unemployment.

    I don’t know who this person is. I’m not sure if I should care cause it’s a judge appointment I assume.

    Gods I hate this man so much. Gods I fucking hate this country and its government.

      Historically low unemployment because of the pandemic. When you remove that many people from the working population through a disease that kills so many, well, of fucking course you’re going to have low unemployment.

      Also the pandemic spurred a mass retirement of older workers that decided they could make do with what they have in their savings instead of exposing themselves to a potentially deadly disease like that.

    Biden literally dismantled the entire COVID infrastructure and just left millions of people to die and starve. He was exponentially worse than Trump on COVID.

    -Mostly corporate handouts and riders

    -What companies has this even stimulated?

    -Cool, guns for skinheads

    -Biden literally told jurisdictions to use COVID funds to hire cops in response to a .1% increase in crime

    -He has done literally nothing besides making sure military members can get abortions iirc (thanks MIC Joe!)

    -Not lowering them nearly as much as he could

    -Inflation reduction is limiting the GROWTH of it, not reversing it dipshits, and it got reversed thru austerity

    -Historically insane growth of top 1% wealth

    -Yay black woman on supreme court I’m sure she’s been significant in carrying Biden’s judicial agenda

      The only good genz subreddit was purged, the remnants of genz are the pure scum. Kinda like how they say that the last good french people were killed after the paris commune.

    Infrastructure bill: not nearly enough to make an impact, even if something is better than nothing.

    Chips act: literally a joke

    Ukraine: yeah how’s that worked out?

    Covid relief: uh… what? I had more when trump was president

    Abortion rights: words and not action

    Lowering drug costs: little to no differences

    Inflation reduction: by trying to increase unemployment and otherwise kneecap labor power

    Historically low unemployment: only when you fudge the numbers, and meaningless in the light of housing costs and the overall massively increased cost of living for the lower class

    Is the confirmation a Supreme Court? I’ve not been paying attention. Anything other than playing hardball and stacking the court is worthless. Also I don’t attribute this to him (and much of what they want to attribute to Biden is not really a direct result of his use of presidential power)
