Whenever there is a democratic majority, just enough Democrats will turn to make any actual change impossible, like a public option with Obama.

Individual tax rates did not change under Biden
This couple with the tangible benefits provided through his America Recovery Act, the Building Back Better Initiative and Infrastructure Investment Act; could help Democrats in 2024 among swing voters
None of these were progressive. They were all tax benefits and grants to big business, specifically in the tech industry. And these businesses were largely aligned with the Trump coalition.

Yeah it’s always something, and it’s always gonna be something. And that thing is oligarchy.

Is that why Biden got more progressive change through than any prior president despite record breaking political resistance?
You need break the dependency on the idiots who talk about fake “bipartisanship”, like Manchin

Like every last centrist.
Now bring the gaslighting and abuse.
This is adorable!
