Have I been out of the loop on politics?

Wasn’t it the Dems who voted to protect Union Pensions? Republicans voted against it.

Dems voted to extend the child tax credit this year. EVERY Republican voted against it.

And didn’t Kamala Harris run on helping with funding for first time home buyers?

When did the narrative of Dems being against the working class start? Was it just because Bernie said it recently?

    ive been waiting 30 years for them to end the ‘war on drugs’. or enact ‘universal health care’.

    notice they let the post office get brutalized with irrational fiscal policies and have done nothing to stop it. hell, biden still hasnt removed the guy that was put in place to fuck it all up.

    college costs an arm and a leg because the let student be victimized by student loans. they arent trying to stop that loan process. just clear out some old debts. half-assed at that.

    theyve done almost nothing to simplify the tax paying process despite every other modern taxing country having it be automatic.

    so many little bits they just dont give 2 shits about because money. because corporate interests.

      We’re we’re one of the first to decriminalize pot, and created sort of universal healthcare that served as a model for aca.

      And this right here is a large part of why Trump was just re-elected. People whining about how Biden and Democrats haven’t done enough, so they don’t vote or vote 3rd party, when in reality, they have no clue what they’re talking about.

      Biden doesn’t have the authority to fire DeJoy on his own.

      People saying things they know nothing about, then other people reading it and thinking it’s true and getting upset about it, then making irrational decisions based on fallacies.

      Thanks, dude.
