Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members
A good thing, but also a reminder that 100 billion sent for another country’s war is 100 billion that isn’t being spent to keep our veterans in good care. (Among other things)
American Rescue Plan
Biden himself made excuses for how lackluster this was, despite it’s super-cool name, and even more fun, his administration withheld $600 of the promised $2000 in aid that he’d assured voters they’d get before they delivered Georgia.
Impressive job growth and low unemployment
Sounds pretty awesome until you realize everyone’s working 2-3 jobs to survive. See my point above about housing scarcity. I think we’d all be way more impressed if he’d passed a living wage back when he had the majority.
Bi-partisan Infrastructure
Another bill Biden made excuses for, which is funny, because he had the majority when it was passed. As much as he, and his partisan ideologues want to let him cosplay as a cut-rate FDR, we deserve way better than a corporate shill.
Helping defeat Russia
This isn’t our war. We should not be sending a hundred billion of our dollars in order to fund it, especially when we have wildfires, hurricanes, failing power grids, and other crises being ignored here at home. (In addition to, what, wars in eight countries we’re already involved in.)

While I agree he’s not a complete failure, that’s kind of like the 600 points a person gets just for signing their name correctly on an SAT testing form. It was a particular kick in the balls when Dems got Georgia and his messaging switched from “2000 checks” to “finish the job” and they sent $1400 instead, considering that was our money he was withholding from us in a time of crisis.
And in a nation of 330,000,000 people, “better than Trump” isn’t good enough. That we gave Biden a Democratic majority and he did nothing meaningful with it is why we’ll likely have an outspoken and overt fascist elected as our president in a year.

I think you’re overestimating the power of a “Democratic Majority” anchored by Manchin and Sinema.
If only people could eat excuses, every table in this country would be full.
What progressive legislation that Congress passed has Biden vetoed?
