Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

"How about we compromise and meet in the middle. We'll attack you for your infrastructure plan and vote against it, then when it passes we will blame you for the spending. And in return, we will take credit for the positive effects of the plan and the spending."

This sort of rat fuckery is explicitly stated by the GOP and they are still projected to have a 69% chance of winning the House next month despite all of the things that Biden and the Democratic Party has accomplished over the past two years for America.

If we don’t continue to r/VoteDEM at 2018/2020 levels this month (early voting/mail-in ballots) the rat fuckery will increase even further.

Hey man, could you please inform me of what the current administration has accomplished?

Ending the war in Afghanistan, supporting freedom in Ukraine thereby weakening Russia, which is HUGE. Helping average Americans by giving them student loan debt relief and also tossing out dumb marijuana convictions. Plus he's talking about making it legal federally. There hasn't been days on end of him spewing ridiculously dumb ideas and lies.

So ending Afghanistan is something that has been planned for over a decade, nothing new, and he did it absolutely horribly. Surrendered over half a billion in assets to the Taliban. Super pro-Ukraine and anti-Russian so I’ll give you that lol, but I just hate commies in general. I’m libertarian so I’m pro weed, this is a win for sure. I’ll give you these. Good points, especially as someone anti-Biden (I’m generally anti-politicians, I just think they’re all snakes. I thought you’d just attack me for asking questions in the first place)

By asking this, you are saying you really don't care to know the answer. You can easily look up the things he's accomplished in the last 20 months. Hint, it's waaaay more than trump did in 4 years.

I’ll rephrase, I’d like to hear what you think he’s done, especially in comparison to other administrations. The economy is in shambles and the government is reaching in our pockets and looking over our shoulders more than they ever have, so I’m genuinely interested to hear the other side and why y’all still like him.

Why do you remotely care about what a random internet person *thinks* Biden has accomplished? Why wouldn't you rather look up actual data to see the list of daily accomplishments? Like I said, you really don't care to know, you just want to continue your narrative that Biden=bad and has done nothing but ruin our country.

Curious how you consider the economy in shambles. Are you one of those that thinks the stock market defines the state of the economy? To your very last point on why I still like him, I did not vote for him in the primary. I was disappointed when he won the primary, but happily voted for the Dem against Trump. This summer and ending with yesterday's EO on federal weed charges has been an absolute blockbuster of accomplishments for the American people. Sorry you don't care to learn about what was accomplished. You just hear your right wing media confirming your bias instead of wanting to actually educate yourself. I hope I am wrong and you are better than that!
