The Democratic Party had one last chance to implement the kind of New Deal Reforms that could save us from another Trump presidency and Christian fascism. It failed.

    How in the actual fuck is this douche blaming Biden when the GOP have fought tooth and nail against ANY kind of positive change in this country under a DEM president??

    The fact he’s managed the reforms and infrastructure and economic rebound that he has when the Supreme Court, every state GOP state attorney, and the GOP-led House have been walking anything he does accomplish back as fast as they can is practically a miracle, frankly. I mean, look at what he has accomplished despite the odds.

    • Infrastructure Law ($1BILLION for roads, rail and clean water, earmarks for public transit)
    • Inflation Reduction Act - reducing health insurance consumer costs, 10+ prescription dugs prices reduced
    • Aid to Ukraine regardless of a broken congress
    • Communication Act
    • First ever Corporate Min tax
    • CHIPS Act
    • Hundreds of judge appointments
    • Lead a campaign to cap insulin at $35
    • More jobs created at this point in his presidency than any president in the last 40 years
    • First President to join workers on a picket line
    • Forgave $130+ billion in student loans
    • Record stock market.
    • Postal Service Reform Act
    • Provided over $369M to reduce greenhouse emissions by 40%/7years
    • Safer Communities Act (red flag laws against gun ownership I.e. domestic abusers)
    • Executive order against police using excessive force , emphasis on body cameras
    • Unemployment and inflation around 3% the best in the industrialized world
    • Added 13.2+ million job, a record and replacing and exceeding what was lost in COVID
    • Expanded NATO, adding countries who previously had no interest in joining, some along the Russian border have applied

    * List copy-pasted from @Flexghost@mastodon.social, btw.

        Trying to unstick from a relationship with that country that has been far too close for far too long, IMHO. You see a lot of signs that they’re very unhappy with Israel’s actions, but the Israeli lobby is incredibly influential and aggressive. It is taking time to change course.

        Still doesn’t negate the fact that Trump would simply be done and dusted of the whole thing and completely ignore Israeli actions, unless it caused more chaos. And those are the only two options we’ll see on the ticket in November.
