President Joe Biden has a lot of unfinished business from his first term that he intends to continue if he's reelected next year.

      If there was a panacea for it? Sure.

      Unfortunately actually unfucking it is politically impossible without a unified and directioned house and senate.

      And impossible with short sighted voters.

      It takes time, decades, of diligent and thoughtful change to achieve. Voters can barely maintain the same ideas and expectations for 6 months.

      Essentially it’s a problem of America’s making and America has no interest in actually solving it, just complaining about it and pointing fingers.

        Yeah. I get that. But that’s what’s going to sink him on election night. He needs to at least be promising something.

            Politics is performative. I’m tired of having to eat shit because some geriatric is pretending it’s 1999. The conservatives understand this and it’s why they get elected with track records of making us eat shit.

      It really needs to be contextualized that, compared to essentially all other countries, the economic recovery the United States has experienced is far far better. That doesn’t mean that people’s pain right now isn’t real, but a lot of these issues are global in scale, and leaders across the entire planet have been having much harder times. There isn’t a “economy gooder” button on Biden’s desk that he can press.
