The dems have absolutely given us things to vote for: infrastructure act, record low unemployment, union support with the pres visiting the picket line for the first time ever, we have the best inflation rate across all of the G7.
Yeah it’s not enough but that’s on the contrarians more than anything else.
Sorry, they are not repeating right wing propaganda. They are going outside and having yellow, asparagus smelling, liquid fall on them. Then everywhere they go Democrats are telling them it’s not piss.
I mean generally speaking, if you think the infrastructure bill, inflation reduction act, and billions in student loan forgiveness aren’t “something to vote for”, one of two things are true. Either you’re utterly delusional, or you’re a Republican.
I mean, who else but a conservative could look at these and say they aren’t accomplishments?
I mean sure, they are accomplishments but a pittance for Americans looking for real change. The OP is speaking directly to the democrats setting their sights on progressive policy.
Biden wants to do the presidency like they did in the past, dodge any real conflict and keep the country running for another four years. He doesn’t care that if the country was a car its a Model T and thinks we should be happy that he changed the tires.
It doesn’t matter how many times a Democrat comes up to me and slams their fist saying look we stopped the Republicans and we did it without causing any waves. Me, I want to see real policy that helps every American even if it makes the people on the hill uncomfortable. If you think, “well fuck that guy, what can he do? Vote republican?” I’ll tell you want I can do and that is be dissatisfied even when we both know I’m voting blue all day.
It says so much that this is the way you talk about your perceived political rivals.
I’m really tired of being called an idiot and a Republican for disagreeing with the Biden administration, and I’m really tired of voting for people who call me an idiot if I don’t support them.
That really seems to be the best Democrats have to offer, though. Each time it happens, I think a little more about voting for the GOP out of spite.
I directly listed what Democrats have to offer, and you haven’t argued against a single one of them. Infrastructure, Inflation Reduction Act, $100B+ in student loan forgiveness. None of these strike you as better offers than getting snarky comments?
I’m sorry, but I stopped caring about political rivals’ feelings after 2016. I’ll sugarcoat things to people I actually know, but on Lemmy I’m going to say it how it is.
That does include admitting fault if I’m wrong. Show why you think the things I mentioned above aren’t notable, and I’ll happily recant my statements and call myself an idiot if they’re sensible.
Mmmm, no. I heard that Biden and his ultra-centrist party have done nothing to stop deforestation in the Messia region of
Mozambique. I’d rather have Trump and vote my conscience than allow globalists like Biden to ruin the Earth.
Haha. Perfectly captures the tune of many Democratic voters. It’s the nature of it though. Isn’t it? The Democrats are broad coalition of like-minded but not monolithic people. The Republicans are a hive mind, cultivated and fed fat on a strict diet of outrage and propaganda media by the billionaire class.
America is becoming increasingly radicalized on both ends, the leftists must side with the center-right neoliberal while the fascists get to vote for fascists.
It isn’t surprising to see disappointment from leftists, even if they still absolutely should vote for the lesser of two evils.
“Biden deserves a lot of the credit for achieving this goal for us,” Russo said. “He and his team continued to work behind the scenes to get all of rail labor a fair agreement for paid sick leave.”
What the hell are you talking about???

Then they promised billions of dollars of orphan killing aid to Israel, because they just can’t resist being neoliberals.
Yes, they’re better than a party full of fascists and fundamentalists, but so is a suit full of roadkill and excrement.
That doesn’t mean people need to enthusiastically cheer as we hurtle towards oblivion.
Has any new aid been passed for Israel? I thought it was tied to Ukraine funding, which I know hasn’t passed.

The rail unions absolutely knew the score from the jump

Disagreeing is obviously fine, but playing cherry pick whataboutism games isn’t that
