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.
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.
Is weed now legal nationwide? Everyone in jail for marijuana convictions now released? Records all expunged?
infrastructure spending
Bridges are literally crumbling. Where’s the high speed rail?
student loan forgiveness
$1,600,000,000,000 total student loan debt, 45,000,000 Americans. He’s wiped $150 billion. That’s around 9% of the total and most of that has already been added back from the interest. “We did it Joe!”
clean drinking water
Flint would like a word.
lowered costs of generic drugs
For seniors, and for insulin.
expanded Medicaid
expand Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level (about $20,780 annually for an individual or $35,630 for a family of three.) - How are they even surviving on that much? MURICA is doing great sweetie!
increased domestic manufacturing
What’s the output not including the tax subsidized spending? Small businesses are being decimated.
increased nationwide gas mileage requirements
While increasing oil production he said he wouldn’t do. There’s a reason Sunrise Movement won’t endorse him.
It would be nice if we actually had policies we could champion instead of just “not Trump”.

Honestly, no, it’s not. We should have had those things decades ago.

I’m not going to praise someone for doing something that should have and could have been done decades ago, no.
.
We should not do good things purely for the praise of others, we should do good things because they are the right thing to do.
So once the perfect moment has passed, might as well never try to catch up.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is… fuck it, I’m just going to complain that there aren’t enough trees.
This is like blaming Obama for his terrible response to Katrina.
That should be the bare minimum. Crumbs.

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!”

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.
