    Biden’s administration is incredibly effective [at accomplishing the things I care about]

    We know this. We know you are happy with Biden. Goodie for you.

    We are not. Are you going to listen to us or just keep telling us how happy you are with the guy you voted for in the 2020 primaries?

      Nothing the person you replied to said indicates they’re happy with the Democrats. They just say that there is a lot to lose if the Homicidal Culture War Party takes office again.

        Yes they did. Right here.

        Biden’s administration is incredibly effective

        I see you all have resorted to shameless gaslighting.

          Ah, I see, you just don’t know what some words mean.
          “Effective” doesn’t mean “I very much like that”. I was specifically opposing the narrative that Biden’s administration doesn’t do anything, you know, “sleepy Joe” propaganda point. Actually, they do a lot of things, they just don’t advertise it to a general public very well.
          I also never thought that Biden will try to do something that he wasn’t trying to do ever, so him not implementing single payer healthcare plan, for example, isn’t a testament to his effectiveness, but his political values.

          Efficiency isn’t good if you don’t agree with everything someone does but I see why you interpret it like that.

      Very explicitly not what I said.
      What I am saying is, you didn’t vote in the primaries at all, so now you stuck with whatever other people chose. And turns out, that guy isn’t as bad as everyone thought, actually. Not good, but also not bad. It’s just the system they have to operate in is incredibly fucked, and it’s fucked because every 8 years or so US collectively decides that not bad is not good enough and decides to elect someone who explicitly wants to destroy everything they can.

        Incorrect. Not only did I vote I phone banked, canvassed and donated just like I did in the 2016 primaries.

          Yeah, I’m sorry, I wasn’t precise. I didn’t mean you personally, I meant royal you, people with your position. Based on poll numbers there is either not enough progressives in US or they’re incredibly politically inactive. And honestly, I don’t know what is worse.

            Someone who takes time out of their day to vote against the interests of every generation after them is absolutely worse than someone who stays home. Period.
