    I think that perhaps you have just given up, because I don’t think that’s at all what the Dems are doing at the moment.

    Actually, I do in fact think Trump would make things much worse. To think he wouldn’t is denying the inevitable.

    To think NO change has happened is false and not inserting any nuance into American politics.

      Shit is getting worse even with a Democrat in office. It’s not that I’ve “given up” it’s that I see it for what it is and I’m not interested in democrat gaslighting.

      It’s delusional to see this as anything other than Democrats not wanting to actually deliver on their promises. They want to be the party of vague threats.

      To think NO change has happened is false and not inserting any nuance into American politics.

      Roe v Wade was overturned under Biden.

      Homelessness can now be considered a crime that isn’t immune from cruel and unusual punishments, this happened under Biden.

      The president was declared immune from the law under Biden.

      The genocide is quickly progressing into a regional war (which is worse) under Biden.

      Food prices and the costs of living have continued to rise and will continue to rise under Biden, and he will offer no meaningful change in that regard.

      These are the changes that have occurred under the Democrats.

          Ah yes, environmental policies under biden, like more offshore drilling, taxing solar cells from china. Very cool! Ending deforestation by 2030 (and by that, it means we won’t stop and most people will forget about it by then. Be carbon neutral by 2050, boy howdy, I bet so many people will remember that promise in 30 years.

          2nd source shows a chart claiming the cost of living is going down, when in fact, its only going down in comparison to previous years in bidens presidency, and there are several other charts like this, or charts overselling minor changes as huge wins. Both are misleading.

          3rd source is like others said a campaign ad, but not many people here are gonna throw their hands up and cheer over things like “support ukraine” and “counter terrorism” since we all universally hate amerikkka.

          The last source can very easily be summarized by people having eyes. No amount of microscopic changes are going to win over people who are struggling pay check to pay check.
