Oh, so you were basically knowingly promising nothing to @Dwazza Gunnar Solskjær here. Reported.
The Biden Presidency
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
In solidarity I will be against PC4A but support pharmacare for those individuals who need the assistance. (i.e. schemes like ODB, OHIP for kids, NIHB, etc).
Oh god, not a middle ground... What are you, a politician?
Anyway, Biden eh. What's his stance on pharmacare?
Based on @Dwazza Gunnar Solskjær's love of skeletons, I think he'd be down for a no skin in the game bet.
If hunter called his dad "Sleepy Joe", he'd be polling at 20% in 2024 GOP primary polls right now.

Did anyone actually expect a progressive administration?

not me
just the same outcry as if the republicans were doing all that
but leftist hypocricy is not new
btw, migrants children are sent to Disney now?
Nope I expect this administration to do little but build on the frustrations felt by a lot of people and lead to another populist candidate in 2024.
That's not really accurate because it's not a left wing or progressive government in charge. Almost anywhere else in the world and Biden's Democrats would be classed as a right wing government, so there is no real hypocrisy from the left as hardly any, if any at all, of the policy changes they want and asked for are happening or going to happen.
I doubt if any true progressive (left leaning or socialist voter) are happy with almost all of what is going on under Biden so far. Aside from rolling back some of Trump's more destructive policies, it's pretty much business as usual for the USA as it would have been if Hillary had got in 5 years ago.
The only real progressive option was Bernie, and it's hard to see where the next ones are going to come from, if at all. Even if they do, the last two elections have showed it matters little who is in charge to a certain extent because the two main parties, money, corporations and donors are the ones who are really in charge and make the decisions. Even then it's still near impossible to get any real change with the structure of the elections and the house and senate unless you gain massive majorities in both houses.
Come on. The entire of msm has been pushing versions of “Biden is the next FDR” narrative for a while now. A lot of people actually buy into that notion even if it is nowhere near the truth.
This.
Which makes it even more absurd that many right wingers in other countries are siding with the Republicans in the US, claiming that the Dems are "leftists"
It finally arrived as soon as Trump left.
Given the 50/50 Senate situation, the administration has very little flexibility to make systemic changes in most areas.
In a way this makes sense. With such a big country it would be difficult to build a rail system that would fit the needs of a majority of people outside the biggest/densest of cities. Investing in getting a large part of the population on EV's would be a quicker, and more far reaching, way to get off fossil fuels. I look at the city I live in, Madison, which is a state capitol. There is a pretty good bus system, but there is no way it, or rail, could serve the majority of the people who live here. There is just not the population density to make it feasible.
Everything you say is true
But why aren’t the leftist burning cities as they did with Trump?
What changed?
American leftists burned cities because of Trump?
uhm....what?
You make it sound like this is something "the left" did all 4 years when it reality it was not "the left" but for the most part opportunists taking advantage of justified mass protests against systemic racism and police brutality. Hell, some of the arsonists who were arrested turned out to be right wingers trying to cause trouble.
Wait, the media isn’t entirely honest and accurate?! WHAT?!
Huh?
I was answering more to your question about whether or not people actually believe that current administration is seen as a progressive. And the answer is yes. Lot of liberals buy into such BS.
I didn’t say the burnt it because if trump
But they did it while Trump was president
And now, that nothing changed, they are not doing it
As always, is never the left when the left does shit things that don’t want to be remembered
We’re also only 0.05% of the way through the Biden admin.
Weird as well how you are conflating the riots last summer with an anti-Trump agenda.
Yep nailed it.
If what you took from the protests in the summer was "leftists burning cities" than I have no idea what to say to you.
I’m devastated
Last summer? Try four years in a row
The feck are you talking about?
Cool @Marcosdeto is back to provide literally zero value to the conversation. Amazeballs.
It definitely varies from city to city. Even in bigger cities such as NY, LA, Chicago, Detroit etc under funding of public transportation is a constant issue. I just don’t see those who rely on public transportation every day transitioning to EV. It’s just too expensive and more of a pipedream. To be clear, I am talking about those who rely on public transportation because they cannot afford a car in the first place.
So Trump was right about fake news?
Oh good Marcos is back with his completely balanced and educated hot takes on everything and not sounding one bit like he‘s been weened on Tucker’s pecker.
People protested for a specific reason at a specific time, not everyday for 4 years just because. If Chauvin walks free you'll see the same and Biden will be president. I don't think it's an apt comparison.
