    True, the CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, inflation reduction act, the largest investment into climate change in US history, allowing Medicare negotiation for the first time in history and persistent support of Ukraine against fledgling populace support, and an economy that’s the envy of the world, all amount to nothing huh.

    God damn, what did you want?

      The government throwing money at corporations and calling it progress is not fundamental change.

      allowing Medicare negotiation for the first time in history

      For 10 drugs. And legislation that only benefits old people is also not fundamental change.

      and persistent support of Ukraine against fledgling populace support

      The US funding a proxy war (I support Ukraine, but let’s call this what it is) is not a fundamental change.

      and an economy that’s the envy of the world

      You know that when you toss in shit like this, it casts doubts on the rest of your comment, right?

      God damn, what did you want?

      A minimum wage increase. Rescheduled cannabis. The childcare and education provisions promised and then gleefully jettisoned from BBB. Legislation to protect democracy. Legislation to protect Roe. You know, the things Biden promised when he was running. The word he just said he kept.
