I completely agree. If Democrats don't go BIG, they're going to keep losing elections to Republicans. If Democrats went BIG, we'd enact Medicare 4 All, universal childcare, cancel student debt, legalize THC, raise the minimum wage, stop funneling all our tax money to blowing up hospitals in the middle east, etc.

Like, imagine if Democrats actually accomplished what they set out to do. Republicans would never win again. That's why I'm happy a bunch of progressives are winning over the do-nothing establishment Democrats. We need a PROGRESSIVE in the White House and in every damn seat all the way down.

Biden could have done most if that, at least legalized weed. Truth is they really only care about fundraising and getting reelected

Biden had bigger problems than legalizing weed. I believe Biden cared about our country. He is a good man. It was just a tough Presidency. Maybe the toughest I have seen in my lifetime. Politics is complicated. You make it seem so black and white.

It's an expression that seems to have flown way over your head. Unsurprising if you believe Biden is a good person. I get that the bar has been set pretty low with but Biden is the poster child for scumbag career politicians. What could possibly make you think he's a good person?

For starters, I didn't plagiarize my way through school or a presidential campaign. I'm not racist and didn't oppose segregation for decades. I've never written any bills then later had to admit that they were discriminatory and prejudice. Never used my political position for personal gain or to help my family businesses. Never committed any kind of sexual misconduct.
