    investing in infrastructure

    The republican approved toll road bill that we got Elizabeth Warren style “let’s split it into two bills!” except only the bad bill got passed?

    energy independence

    Are you seriously listing Obama fracking the shit out of the midwest as a positive?? And who the fuck benefited from the US becoming an energy exporter?

    college tuition assistance

    The fuck are you listing this for? Who’s the one who not only refused to jubilee student debt but turned payments back on during an inflationary spike?

    NATO dealing with Ukraine

    What?? Again, who the fuck is the constituency for this? How is that going to change my landlord taking half my paycheck? And it’s not like Ukraine even won the war.

    ending the war on drugs

    ??? ??? ???

        So what you’re saying is the democrats only appeal to people so comfortable in life that their biggest problem is not enough dead people

            You clutch your pearls but you can’t deny it’s true. All that war is to you is recreational reading. And if that’s what earns your vote then you live a charmed life. Even if you are a bloodthirsty psychopath.

              Ah yes, me hoping my ex’s country and rising democracy Ukraine can fight off a Russian invasion force is “recreational reading.” How silly of me

                rising democracy

                Democracy is when the result of a fair election is a coup that chases the president over the border and you ban opposition parties and you shell the regions that voted against you. Yeah, sure. Democracy is the thing that’s rising over there. And that’s why we support them. We’ve been sending them weapons for over half a decade because democracy. Just like everywhere else.

      infrastructure

      Every single Republican voted against build back better, and that’s how we ended up with the worst of two bills, which every single Republican voted against as well. Republicans don’t invest in infrastructure.

      energy independence

      Only one party is dumping money into renewable energy, electric vehicles, e-bikes, and better public transportation, and it sure as fuck ain’t republicans.

      College tuition

      Literally republicans are the reason college loans haven’t been forgiven. They threw a fucking fit covered in their own filth all the way to the supreme court, and wouldn’t you know, it was the conservative judges that voted against it. If you’re still making college loan payments, it’s republicans’ fault.

      NATO

      All the American men and women who won’t go off to die in Ukraine benefit from us not being involved in yet another endless war you stupid fuck. So does the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA.

      War on Drugs

      Yeah, that was a bit of a stretch. But only one US president has made any serious attempt to reschedule cannabis AND pardoned thousands of people who were convicted of drug charges.

      Landlord taking all my money

      But republicans are the party of the free market! If your landlord is taking all your money, that’s what the free market demands! The free market has spoken, and so shall it be! To do otherwise would require gasp federal regulations!

      So it’s no surprise that only one party has introduced a renters bill of rights. Hm, I wonder which party that is…

        Every single Republican

        Was in the minority. You can’t use them as an excuse for what the democrats did.

        Literally republicans

        Biden chose to take a route with the debt that invited a challenge. He didn’t want to discharge it. He’s the senator from MBNA. The sanctity of debt is one of his foundational beliefs.

        He is the president. The treasury works for him. He holds the debt. He can and didn’t simply write it off.

        the entire world who now don’t have to deal with escalation between Russia and the USA

        This is the sentence in which you called me a ‘fucking idiot’ and I have to say the idea that a proxy war doesn’t count as escalation is one of the smartest things I’ve heard from you.

        But republicans are the party of the free market!

        Democrats are the party of letting everyone lose their home and have them be bought up by banks, who were bailed out when prices were low, who are now charging me half my income in rent.

        1.77 trillion and rising.

        And not a penny of what he discharged was without a preexisting situation where the debt would have automatically been discharged anyway if the government was actually functional.

        And he took credit for it. And people like you carry the message like a game of telephone believing he did something.
