    Look, change is slow. Especially so when dealing with government. The Democrat party is also split between centrists and progressives, and this divide will only grow as more and more young people start to vote. Those changes that we all want to see are also being hammered by a Republican controlled House. Nothing is going to get through there - Biden can groan and moan all he wants, but it won’t do anything. But it’s not like he’s not doing anything…

    He’s trying to lower costs of healthcare and prescriptions.

    He’s strengthened Medicare.

    He actively prevent Medicare cuts by passing a Bill back in 2022.

    He’s not doing “nothing”. He’s working with what he’s got.

    I mean. I get that there’s a lot of complaints, but to say he’s not doing anything is incorrect. I mean, sure, do I wish more progress was made? Yeah, but I’m not going to blame Biden for it. Now, if Biden had control of the House and Senate, and this shit still didn’t happen…oh yeah, I’d be feisty right now.

      Change is not inherently slow, there’s just a vested interest by those with power granted by the status quo to stop it or slow it as much as possible. They don’t want it to change unless they can ensure they keep their power (or expand on it) with the change.

      The rate of change is mostly set by the population. It’s historically slow, because the majority is usually slow to adapt. Change can also be fast (e.g. revolutions), when leadership is completely out of touch with reality.
