Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

Most are cynical diversity hires that use POC/lgbtqia as political pawns, the rest are things he supposedly "tried to do". He doesn't even have to follow through. Just saying (or [unintelligible]ing them) is counted as a win. Couldn't even get rid of the trumpies in government.

The fact that so many people fall for the gish gallop of nothingness is why we will never get out of 2015.

Also when does any of the gosh gallop of "accomplishments" affect me? My groceries cost more, fast food is $10 for most meals now or more. Gas is expensive. It's harder than ever finding jobs that aren't gig work. So many businesses around me are closing...

I have a friend making $11/hour at Subway right now. What has Biden done for him?

Libs will just yell at you about how it's the best economy ever and you're probably just doing life wrong or something.

There are a few criticisms of Dems from the right that I agree with. #1 being that they are all elitists and smug.
