    So which social justice cause has Biden made meaningful progress on?

    Police shootings? Prison labor? Qualified Immunity? Civil Asset Forfeiture? Rent affordability? Welfare cliff? Welfare work load for not losing benefits? Unions? (Lmao, we all remember the railroad) Cash bail? Debtor’s prison? (An unconstitutional practice the DOJ could end today) Reproductive healthcare? Minimum sentences? Child marriage?

    Look, if the word on the street was that Biden had meaningfully improved life for minorities and lower socioeconomic groups then I’d respect that. But it isn’t. Shit is just festering while the Democrats take victory laps.

        The eviction moratorium was a disaster. Many people just got evicted later instead of during COVID lockdowns. It had the effect of raising their rent to an untenable level after the moratorium was over.

        The executive order amounts to a request to please keep treating women at hospitals. It’s been largely ignored because doctors, shockingly, don’t want to go to prison for murder.

        I’ll give him some credit for codifying Obergefell. But that was basically already done, it just needed to get pushed across the finish line.

        I’ll even admit it’s not like any other president would do better. But the victory laps are a slap in the face.
