Student loans have not been canceled

Non-Competes are still in effect

We still have the world’s highest prison population.

Landlords are still price fixing and rent is still out of control

Amazon, Google and apple nor any other large companies have been broken up with antitrust

Despite giving the IRS funding, the rich are still not paying taxes

Allowing Medicare to negotiate was pretty great. I’ll give you that.

“In what way (other than Gaza) is he not doing a good job?”

I don’t know if you’ve been to America or met most Americans, but most of us are really struggling. There’s a housing crisis. Most people can’t afford to live on their own. There’s a ton of food insecurity. Education is abysmal. I mean the whole thing’s just fucked. This pretending things are really good right now and gaslighting Americans and trying to shame them into voting for Biden is part of the problem by the way.

Some have.

Non-Competes are still in effect

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04/ftc-announces-rule-banning-noncompetes

Landlords are still price fixing and rent is still out of control

The problem is being worked on, the solution wasn’t instantaneous.

Amazon, Google and apple nor any other large companies have been broken up with antitrust

Not yet, these things take time. The final antitrust case against AT&T lasted 8 years, and it was only one of many. The antitrust case against IBM lasted almost 13 years.

Despite giving the IRS funding, the rich are still not paying taxes

Again, these things take time.

I don’t know if you’ve been to America or met most Americans, but most of us are really struggling.

So… something that has been happening since at least the Reagan years wasn’t turned around in 4, so Biden’s doing a bad job?

Most student loans have not been canceled claiming that student loans have been canceled. It’s just ingenuous and again it’s the whole fake Biden is killing it narrative. Be honest.

Non-Competes are still in effect that ruling does not go into effect until September at the earliest and it is subject to many Court challenges before it will probably not happen. Regardless, it has not happened yet.

You say the problem is being worked on in these things take time for multiple things. In other words, Biden has not done anything on these fronts. You cannot give Biden credit for something that he has not done lol.

This is what I mean. Biden is milk toast at best. He’s really just slowing our rate of decline more than he is actually doing a good job. The insistence that he is killing it or doing a good job when he is not and people are suffering is a bad strategy politically.

This giant list of things that turns out to be bs is the kind of thing making people more disillusioned. Stuff like this lowers voter turnout. Democrats lose when voter turnout is low. Do you see where this gets bad?

What an idiotic thing to say.

You should look up that expression because you’re misusing it.

And the reason for all of that is the GOP blocking or sabotaging every single effort to improve things, and then blaming the Dems, and it convinced a LOT of people.

That’s partially true. But some of the time it was just the Dems holding it up like manchin or Cinema. Also Biden’l has also not put things forward that he said he would. Like when he had the majority in the Senate in the house he did not try to pack the court. The negative things we’ve seen in the last 4 years are from the supreme Court that Biden never tried to pack despite claiming he would.

I hate the Republicans just as much as you do, maybe more honestly. All I’m saying is the Dems suck too. They’re basically trying to hand this election the Trump like they did in 2016.

Oh 100%

Manchin and Cinema are Dem in name only, their actions are GOP at every turn.

Don’t forget, 3 of the 5 SCOTUS were appointed by Trump, so everything happening with them now is from that and Biden doesn’t have power to stop that.

And either way, both Dem and GOP are Right Wing parties and their goals are more or less to maintain the status quo, benefit corporations and elites, keep power, etc.

Neither party has interests or incentives to truly progress things that benefit people, except in maybe a scrap or two to get votes.

We don’t really have a government by the people and FOR the people right now. If we did we would have Ranked Choice Voting, no more Electoral College BS, no more Gerrymandering, Voting Day would be a federal holiday, mail in ballots would be universal and accepted, etc etc etc.
