    Dems controlled the Senate with the slimmest majority possible. One fucker that owns a coal company was able to tank all meaningful climate bills and there was nothing Biden or anyone else could do about it. You can forget about any progressive policies in that environment, lol. Biden did well with the tools he was given.

      And four years ago Biden wouldnt shut up about how only he could work with a Republican Senate.

      Long before we dreamed if 50 seats.

      As soon as that was on the table, it switched to 50 accomplishes everything. And almost immediately after we got that. Biden said it wasn’t enough

      Three big goalpost moves in like 6 months, that shit is noticable to voters and some can remember the last election, and not take Biden on his word again.

        You’re supposed to be angry at the people preventing progress, not the people trying to create progress.

          Promising progress and intentionally not fulfilling the promise is, indeed, preventing progress. Of course the R’s are awful. The D’s are also shitty and I hold them to a higher standard.

          This is like saying we can’t criticize the police because criminals are worse…

        I love how people blame Biden for shit the racist rapist with 34 felonies did. The amount of mental gymnastics that requires is amazing. Unless you’re not a real person and at this point, I kinda hope you’re not.

          Bruh…

          How is it you read something like:

          We’re not fighting fascists enough

          And your take away

          That guy likes fascists

          Seriously, what steps of logic did you get to thinking I’m a trump supporter?

          It’s 2024, you can’t imagine someone doesn’t like Biden but hates trump?

              I mean, I thought the “like” was a clear signal I was paraphrasing…

              But overestimating people is a flaw I openly admit

        Biden has been successful at getting bipartisan legislation passed over the last few years. That doesn’t mean that everything can be done. It horse shit that you think that because he wasn’t able to convince any Republicans and lost a turn coat and coal barron that it’s his fault, or that he mislead with his “working across the aisle” comments.

        To address one of your other comments, this shit is the reason people might believe your a Trump supporter. The same shit rhetoric day in and day out. There’s being critical and there’s being beneficial to Trump. You frequently sit on the Trump benefits side of comments.

        Not sure why you’re getting negative votes. You’re right. But Dems still haven’t learned that the days of working across party lines is a dream from a bygone era.

        Old man dreams.

          You can’t even get moderates to understand if the best we can do is a tie, it’s harder to even manage that.

          Anyone that can look at the last 16 years of the party and say with a straight face we’re making the right moves isn’t worth listening to.

          There is absolutely zero benefit to running Hillary/Biden types rather than an Obama type
