Pretty sure "but the democratic party still fuckin sucks" covers all that.

Eh, I'm of two minds about the strike. On the one hand, he got the rail workers their sick days after the fact. On the other, he really pissed me off and threw labor under the bus by making it illegal (again) for them to strike. You can't be a pro labor president and take away labors most powerful tool.
I don't know anything about the BBB.
100% with you on Gaza.
Then I'm saying "at least he's not openly fascist but the democratic party still fuckin sucks."
Stop confusing democrats/liberals with leftists.
Democrats will probably almost universally agree that he's been a good president. Tribalism is a hell of a drug.
It's the leftists that won't. And speaking as a leftist, he's done a lot better than I thought he was going to. He ended up pushing for more progressive ideas than I thought he would. Good for him. He's been stymied by the courts and his own party on some of them. And that why I, as a leftist, think the democratic party is still (less) trash. They had a majority for two years. Did some stuff. Could have done more. You can be all "but but Manchin/Sinema" all you want, but I'll bet all the money in my pocket against all the money in your pocket, than if Manchin and Sinema were to announce that yes, they'd vote to abolish the filibuster, there would be two other democratic senators who would come out and say no. And that's fine as it relates to their world view. They're liberals. They're not leftists.
I remember taking psych 101 or some equivalent and there was an entire 50 minute lecture about Freud. At the end I raised my hand and was like, "This... This is all considered bullshit now, right?" I can't remember what exactly the answer was, but I do remember that it wasn't an unequivocal yes. And that scared me.
"But but the filibuster"
Dude had 60 senators for two years.
But there's no 's' in - ohhhhh.
Literally how I bought my house. My mom died and I was a beneficiary on her life insurance. That was my down payment. I call it the Dead Parent Lottery.
Eh. I want to fuck a 20 year old. I want to have a relationship with a 40 year old. I've been in two different casual relationships with women younger than me (33/23, and 35/26) and they were exhausting. Not having any common cultural touchstones was a much bigger bummer than I thought it would be. So I wanted to spend an hour or two with them, but I find myself perfectly content spending an entire day with my current (39/35) fiance.
Base 12 crew represent.
10 isn't the best base and I'm sick of pretending it is.
I just... I can't bring myself to give a shit about Taylor Swift's airplanes when BP and Shell still exist and capitalism is still the dominant economic system.
