Nightmare? That's putting it lightly. It'd be over, lights out. Our institutions won't be recovered by 2028, let alone 2024, and if they sustain any more damage our democracy will fall with it.

(And in those 6 weeks Biden delivered on what was by far his biggest campaign promise — massive COVID-19 relief.) Y'all need to chill pls OT: you love to see the girls fighting! Yet even in this "huge" feat, he still didn't follow through with the promise of $2,000 checks out the door. But it's cute to see people fan girl You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean who compromises down on their own damn bill when they control the WH and both chambers of Congress Chamber of Commerce and corporate Democrats' donors WON just as they always do since they're the ones who truly matter to Democratic leadership and the Democratic establishment. And unless Dems grow a backbone and pull through in delivering their promises, Trump 2024 or one of his goons running and winning is a very real if not likely scenario.

I can see Trump 2024 being a real thing if Biden keeps breaking promises and doesn't deliver. Sure he's done some good things, but he still has a long way to go. Biden’s been in office a grand total of 48 days. 1) let’s talk broken promises when we are at 3+ years in. 2) can we please get some rest from Donald freakin Trump on here. Most of us are basically suffering from PTSD due to the last 4 years of nothing but Trump every day of our lives. A thread dedicated to him is a bit much IMO.

Unemployment plus an extended child tax credit means more money for those who truly need it. More money is going to those who need it most. As Bernie stated: “ ”As Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, I am proud that we passed the American Rescue Plan, which, in my view, is the most significant piece of legislation to benefit working families in the modern history of this country. This package, among many other things, increases direct payments by $1400, extends unemployment benefits, reduces child poverty by half, ensures we are vaccinating as many people as possible, and puts us on a path to safely reopen schools. The American people are hurting, and this comprehensive plan goes a long way to addressing the myriad crises that we face.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all those compromising it still passed by a razor thin margin......... do you not understand how compromising works lmao? You sound so uninformed. Sorry to derail the thread but this is delusional. A dem WH, dem house, and a tied senate doesn't make Biden suddenly emperor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so ****ing elitist, you know, for something called progressive, it allows for zero progress. It's all or nothing, no steps toward, all or ****ing nothing." I have no idea where either of you is coming from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
