Dems are just going to keep on repackaging "Biden's done a lot about x, people just aren't hearing about it", huh? I skimmed the entire article and didn't see one thing Biden has done.

Yeah but have you seen all the POC police clearing the homeless camps and busting up protests? Dark Brandon wins!

There are things that Biden supporters can point to. The problem is the list is very short, because he's unwilling to take strong executive action and he's hamstrung by a broken Congress.

Also the fact that anything he can point to is overshadowed by the genocide happening with his support.

So like, discharging less than 1% of college debt is something. But it's not a lot. And the people who might be willing to make the case that it's better than nothing, are a little bit too disturbed at the genocide happening with our tax dollars to make that argument.

No it's worse than that they're lying about his accomplishment and saying he's great for unions and environmental issues.

President Biden doesn’t owe you anything. But if you ~~go to church~~ campaign for him every week and ~~pray~~ vote, he’ll answer your needs.
