Sure did. It's an embarrassing op-ed. Short and flimsy arguments. Every link is either something that someone else did (mostly state legislators) or about lip service rather than action. About the only thing Biden can claim credit for is related to the economy, where his policy has helped transfer wealth upward. If "progressive" means "keeping things perfectly as they are" then you can go ahead and be a progressive.

Biden's party is more progressive, but Biden is not. Note how he is on par with popularity polls with the guy who attempted to lynch our political representation. Obama was easily more progressive.

Edit: migrating my response to a deleted comment so others can read it. The deleted comment below accused me of not reading the article. This was my response.

If Biden doesn't at least say he wants to do something about housing affordability then I won't be voting. I've voted blue my entire life.

What change do you propose? Being born ultra rich?

If you work hard and become a professional you can make 100-120k in your 30s. Maybe as much as 150 if you get lucky. Those jobs exist in places where rent is 50% take home and ownership is completely off the table.

Do you suggest working a Denny's in a rural area? Fuck that and fuck you.

It isn't in Charles Village by any chance is it? I've got some war stories with Ben.

If Jesus got the wheel I don't think he'd want to come back to life.

It depends what you mean by support. They made the Steam Link for 3 years and have not made it for 5 years.

The economics aren't there. A cellular chip and a subscription will not pay for the private conversations of a random house.

You can't take credit for things that haven't happened.

That's 50x smaller than an EV battery. Being able to drive once every two months doesn't seem practical.

No. There's a clear line that someone crosses when they're hoarding. The physical space is unsafe and the people typically have some deep trauma they are not working through well. GP used the term "hoarding" to describe "dangerous weapons collectors" in a slurry way.
