Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, rejoining the Paris agreement, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans not enough policies for you?
I’ve seen the need to point this out: Dems have had all 3 (of house, senate, presidency) for 4 years out of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton that goes to 6 years of the last 32 years. Want to add Bush senior? Then it’s 6 years of the last 36 years. Want to add Reagan? Then it’s 6 years of the last 44 years. That’s right, 6 years out of the last 44 years that Dems had control. And for filibuster proof majority they had 4 months of the last 44 years. Not years, 4 MONTHS of the last 44 fucking years.
And you want to ask why things haven’t happened?
If you want progress, give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.
I don’t disagree, but that’s a bit like a teenager telling their mother, “This meal is shit. I was hungry HOURS ago.” Can we not be happy things are changing NOW? Is that somehow not allowed?
If you’re happy with being hungry for hours before being given anything to eat, then good for you I guess? We can do better. Being kept hungry and given crumbs isn’t healthy, it’s positively abusive.
Then why would anyone do anything good for you, ever? If you’re going to blame them for the fact that it wasn’t done before now, then shouldn’t they completely ignore what you want and move on to someone else?
Yes. Being better than Trump is a low bar.
Are you confused about what’s happening here?
It would be nice if we actually had policies we could champion instead of just “not Trump”.

return2ozma: “There are policies we can champion that are more than ‘not Trump.’”
Honestly, no, it’s not. We should have had those things decades ago.

So no? We should spit at the gift horse?
I’m not going to praise someone for doing something that should have and could have been done decades ago, no.

So once the perfect moment has passed, might as well never try to catch up.
This is like blaming Obama for his terrible response to Katrina.
That should be the bare minimum. Crumbs.
“What about policies?”
“Here’s some.”
“Not THOSE.”
That’s it? That’s all he’s supposed to do while millions are still struggling?
Single mom: “I’m working three jobs and my kids are still hungry. We’re about to be homeless.”
“Hey now, Paris climate agreement! Be grateful!”
In aggregate, they’re actually not. Consistently.
Family homelessness is actually down by a lot, and a recent uptick isn’t enough to counteract the decline in homelessness since 2013.
You skipped: Marijuana rescheduling, infrastructure spending, student loan forgiveness, clean drinking water, lowered costs of generic drugs, expanded Medicaid, increased domestic manufacturing, increased nationwide gas mileage requirements, and improved healthcare access for veterans.
Why?
You’re right, everything is really great right now in America. Nothing else to see here folks. Everybody’s swimming in gold.
Ignore the nearly 60% of people living paycheck to paycheck.
Literally not what I said. Can you address what I actually said instead?
