Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

    Maybe you’re just really really young?

    Obama was a lot more progressive than Biden, and he left office in 2016?

    Obama’s healthcare reform wasn’t perfect, but what has Biden done that you think is more progressive?

        I’m a lot older than you and have better news sources than the average MSM consuming crowd. From my gleanings Biden is a lot more progressive than I expected him to be but one wouldn’t even suspect it from the corporate news. He has managed to get student loan forgiveness, champion support of unions and pass infrastructure reform - hardly right wing agendas. It just that Biden’s successes do not get a lot of press.
        When I hear complaints about Biden I recall this quote: “I look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief they have known something of what has been passing in the world around them” - Harry Truman

        Well, the first article is about things he said he would do…

        The second is this:

        But that picture has started to change. The House passed a significant piece of legislation Friday and sent it to Biden to sign into law.

        I thought if it took a law, Biden had no power? That’s the excuse for him not doing most of his campaign promises.

        But here’s a law, and youre giving Biden sole credit for it?

        We’re not republicans, we’re not that welcoming of hypocrisy

          Oh my god. Anyone still refusing what this administration has achieved despite having a republican supermajority in the house is living under a rock or has an alternate agenda.

          Oh, ok. You’re just not aware of how our system of government works.

          Thanks for clearing that up for me.

            I just recognized your name…

            I’ve tried to bock you I don’t know how many times, but I still see your comments, and your post history is blank whether I have you as blocked or not

            It’s incredibly annoying because obviously nothing productive is going to come from us talking. Since I apparently can’t block you, can you just block me at least?

            I never want to have to talk to you again, and it feels mutual.

            But you also keep replying to my comments in different threads, so I’ll probably just have to remember exchanging you with is a giant waste of time. I’d rather just forget you exist

              LOL.

              Next time just say “I can’t defend my position” & move on.

              p.s. I’m never going to block you. It’s far too important to show the rest of the class why you’re wrong.
