    True, the CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, inflation reduction act, the largest investment into climate change in US history

    The government throwing money at corporations and calling it progress is not fundamental change.

    allowing Medicare negotiation for the first time in history

    For 10 drugs. And legislation that only benefits old people is also not fundamental change.

    and persistent support of Ukraine against fledgling populace support

    The US funding a proxy war (I support Ukraine, but let’s call this what it is) is not a fundamental change.

    and an economy that’s the envy of the world

    You know that when you toss in shit like this, it casts doubts on the rest of your comment, right?

    God damn, what did you want?

    A minimum wage increase. Rescheduled cannabis. The childcare and education provisions promised and then gleefully jettisoned from BBB. Legislation to protect democracy. Legislation to protect Roe. You know, the things Biden promised when he was running. The word he just said he kept.

      This is such a milquetoast retort.

      You have such a misunderstanding of government if you think federal funding allocation is not fundamental change, it’s a core function of government. Funding semiconductor production to reduce dependence on Taiwan has such far reaching consequences.

      Durr, unless ALL medications can be free, it’s a worthless bill!

      Another complete misunderstanding of government powers, of course it had to be with bipartisan medications, do you not think the house and senate wouldn’t filibuster over broad sweeping healthcare changes?

      What would you have preferred Biden do in Ukraine?

      And a strong economy directly tied to the Build Back Better Act gets a “no” from you. Good one.

      I could go through each of your shithouse Biden demands, but as soon as I saw a federal wage increase I knew you had no grasp on the role of federal government. Why should the minimum wage in Utah be the same as California?
