Interpret improvements as you like. For me it’s any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite.
Any big consumer protection, environmental, infrastructure, or other legislation from Clinton onwards that materially improved the lives of all?
Obamacare and the medicaid expansion comes to my mind. It has obviously improved people’s lives but considering how broken the healthcare system remains, and that it was written by the insurance industry to undermine single-payer, it seems to me a mitigated win at best.
Gay marriage and marijuana legalisation but that was the courts and the states although i’m sure the federal government could’ve stood in the way had they chosen to.
I’ve only live here since the 2010s so that’s all I can think of.
I’m hoping that the repeal of Roe vs Wade seals the fate of the republican party. With continued legal action against gerrymandered states, a solidified stance against women’s reproductive rights, along with the overt racism I’m optimisticly hoping to see a functional dissolvement of the republican party in it’s current form by 2028. The pessimistic side of me is worried about strategic division of the democrats “not wanting Biden” or other short sighted horeshit driving us straight into a hate filled fascist government we can never recover from.
seals the fate of the republican party? the repeal of Roe vs Wade happened on a democrat’s watch and on a Catholic one
when was it you saw and heard Biden on tv defending abortion rights and saying is fighting for us? maybe a few times shit is so real he should be on the tv or streaming or something everyday
Biden has rode “I am not Trump.” into the ground but people are still supporting him on that fact alone
and Obama who Biden was in the White with wrote policies that harmed the health of the citizens and Trump and then Biden both expanded on while in office https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Smoking_Prevention_and_Tobacco_Control_Act
when has Biden been a champion of healthcare or for cannabis or for gay marriage? dude is Catholic for God’s sake and very public about it and his policies and actions in office have reflected this he chose a prosecutor for a vice who openly opposed what he promised on the campaign trail the ones he has went back on like cannabis when he fired all those staffers
and everyone still thinks he is a cannabis champion
being not trump does not make someone a better more qualified candidate
Biden took my right to vote away so this is one of the only outlets
know in this next election it will most likely be Biden vs Trump same as before how could it go differently remember what happened when we were going to have more options
Obama and Biden chained the Green Party candidate to a chair so she could not debate with them and the other major politicians how is that not fascist
This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read.
Its not so much that the comment is dumb, but Verdant Banana thinks we’re dumb.
The actions of the Supreme Court are completely unrelated to which party occupies the presidency at the time. The two branches are independent of one another.
