What progress could they possibly be thinking of?
And then there’s the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

Oh yeah? Just look at this list of what Biden accomplished this year alone!

I like how nothing here impacts me. Bread costs 50% more than in 2020 and everything at the grocery is being ratfucked more each time I go to the point that I’ve stopped buying anything that has shrunk. Rent is up 30%, car insurance 40%. The wages offered locally have not changed since 2018.
Even if the democrats weren’t committing genocide, the way they gaslight people about the economy is so fucking disgusting that I’d never vote for them just to avoid associating with them. They’re Patrick Bateman holding a rainbow flag upside down.
It stands for White People content.
Oh wow, that is cursed
The first “accomplishment” says they lowered the cost of families everyday expenses. No he didnt. What?
I mean if you exclude stuff like food, housing, clothing, education, healthcare…
Watching 3 unskippable ads is praxis.
He did work to lower gas prices though. For good or bad, that wasn’t nothing.
It was nothing because gas is still expensive as fuck and they did nothing about the price gouging while the oil cartels were making record profits
When gas prices fluctuate, praise the dems it fluctuated down for a tick!
What could he do - pass a law through Congress?
Not that he would have even if he could tho, the Dems are beholden to the illuminati/whatever the same as the Repubs.
Still, it could have been MUCH worse, arguably, under a Trump second term.
Nationalize gas? Civil asset forfeiture? Send oil executives photos of them taken from a predator drone? Use your imagination, he’s the leader of the most powerful empire the world has ever seen, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
Username checks out, but anyway he’s still a servant to the people of the USA. Who are somewhat um… “divided” on this or any subject.
He’s a servant to the ruling class of the USA. That’s why he can’t/won’t do anything thats good for regular people
^THIS is what I meant, yes:-). The “people”, as opposed to us mere humans who don’t matter the tiniest bit.
LMAO
How much of that was the global economy recovering from the pandemic though?
Remember the brutal dismemberment of the American journalist, when they “just asked questions”… with a bone saw? (then the entire floor of the hotel needed to be remodeled immediately thereafter)
So the first opportunity Biden had to talk to the guy who ordered the…ah…“question session”, he had a choice laid out before him. Say something about the murder and allow Republicans to use gas prices as the sole indicator of ThE eCoNoMy and take the House and/or Senate in the midterm elections, or keep quiet about it, and see them lowered. He opted for a middle ground approach by saying something about it, but the response was sth like “what was that, a fly buzzing by me? I could not hear you”, at which point Biden dropped the subject. And gas stated flowing again, Repubs lost their major marketing campaign strategy, and life moved on. I’m not sure what I would have done in his place - it was a real-life trolly problem, for sure.
Whatever else happened, and whatever else Biden has done, we know that he WORKED to lower gas prices. He sacrificed his ethics for them in fact. Who knows what Trump would have done in his place - probably he would have high fived the dude and thereby inadvertently started a war:-P.
Hehe… his ethics are “be politician”, that’s a very good point, I should have worded that better:-).
Didn’t he only lower gas prices because the war he started caused them to spike?
The war that he started… while Trump was President?
Or earlier when Obama was President?
My point is that there is nuance and subtlety - he may not be the greatest President we’ve ever had, but then again the challenges he faced while in office were significantly more numerous, diverse, and severe than most any other. Even those who started during wars mainly had just that one thing to do, while he had the border (which he’s done little about), the economy (similar), the housing crises (same), jobs (same), the pull-out from Afghanistan (which he f%cked up), and the pandemic (this he did a LOT on tho - remember Trump ordered the vaccines to be created, but then he handed them out only to his friends, and they only would get the 1st of 2 doses, and he was going to leave >4/5ths of Americans without access to them at all… the worst return-on-investment that I’ve ever heard of, which would make those millions of deaths turn into, well, tens of millions, at least). And I am not even smart enough to realize how all the things that he is not doing are helping us. It is not everything, but neither is it nothing, methinks.
And if we were allowed to have a primary, any of that might actually matter:-D. The DNC remember is not a democratic, government institution - it is a for-profit private one. We might get the illusion of choosing between two sides, but they are the ones who pick the sides. :-|
