    -Union strike busting

    -Climate acceleration, more highways, more trucks and SUV’s, banning affordable EVs

    -Increased defense spending

    -Higher deportations and now executive order asylum closing

    -Renewed oil and gas leasing on federal lands, and weird restriction on leasing federal lands for renewable energy that more oil and gas leasing has to happen first

    -The longest stretch of no minimum wage increase ever.

    -rampant inflation

    -lack of prosecution for a ton of crimes from Trump and other republicans

    -no effort against Americas problem of gun violence

    -campaigned on fixing a gap in subsidy coverage for health insurance for the lowest earning Americans, with no mention since

    Not even mentioning the biggest problem people have with them, plenty of people have told you already.

      Roe v. Wade was overturned under his mandate period as well. Sure it’s a Supreme Court decision, and the SC is mostly republican but it’s not like Biden couldn’t have pushed harder. He could, but then he wouldn’t be able to campaign on it.

        Yes, it’s all the Democrats’ fault that six Republican appointed justices overturned Roe.

        Bullshit.

          It is absolutely their fault there are more Republicans in the Supreme Court. Justices aren’t naturally occurring by unpredictable Acts of God.

          It is also RBG’s fault, while we’re at it.

            Your RGB point is the first one of merit. Sure should have left at an advantageous time.

            The judges were appointed by a majority Republican Congress with a republican president. In what way could democrats stop it?

              Scalia died almost a full year before Obama left office. That was his appointment, but the Dems didn’t bother putting up a fight because they were convinced Clinton would be the next president and wanted to focus on the election. Then in freaking late October 2020, days before the election, they once again allowed another Trump appointment without putting up any sort of fight or stall tactic because they didn’t want to rock the boat before the election.

              The majority republican congress and the republican president are also their fault. They’re pretty much the only ones running against them.

                So more people should have voted Democrat, despite misgivings, to avoid a worse outcome that comes from not voting Democrat.

                It’s a two-party system, those are your choices.

                  The party should have fielded better candidates instead of constantly pushing candidates that appeal to right-wing voters who would never even vote for them to begin with.

                    When the farther right candidate wins, that’s the direction they go. It sucks, but they’re going to follow the voters.

                  That is exactly the kind of dogshit strategy that disenfranchises voters, loses elections and gives republicans a majority.

                    What “strategy?” That’s what the system is. It’s a two-party system, inherently.

                    You have two candidates to pick from. You either pick the candidate who is closer to your ideals or you pick the candidate that’s farther away from your ideals. If you don’t vote or you vote for a “third party” candidate then you’re just throwing your choice away and abdicating it to those who do vote for one of those two options.

                    If you want it to be different from that then the fundamental voting system itself needs to be changed. The current one that America operates under inevitably becomes two-party. CPG Grey did a video a few years ago explaining why this is so.

                  It’s not their parents fault they’re incompetent corrupt pieces of shit. Or maybe it is a little bit, just not as much.
