I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    If you’re expecting change and only focus on and vote during Presidential elections, you’re gonna have a bad time. Congress is in charge of all the budgetary concerns you’re talking about. Before the shit show of the current Congress, they passed the inflation reduction act which is huge for average Americans.

    Even in the limited cases where Biden can make meaningful changes in the lives of Americans, like his plan for student loan forgiveness, the Republican nominated Supreme Court judges blocked it.

    If your state has closed primaries, make sure you’re registered and vote during primaries. This is the only way progressive candidates will make it on the ballot.

    As for the news, try listening to NPR Now when you have 5 minutes a day and go from there.
