The stock market and other indicators that the rich is doing well, you mean. The vast majority of regular people are doing worse today than before covid and Trump's criminal mishandling of it demolished everything.

Biden administration forgave $175 billions in student loans

That's an inflated number. The loan forgiveness has been a drop in the bucket compared to the full scope of the problem, means tested to hell and back, and with reams of paperwork required to even be considered. That's not what the people wills.

lowered unemployment

According to cherrypicked numbers that only counts the newly unemployed and actively job-seeking.

The millions of people who have been unemployed for a long time and finally given up aren't represented in the statistics you and your favorite demagogues are so proud of.

passed PACT act

CONGRESS passed that. After dozens of veterans camped outside the capital for days in protest of their inaction.

CHIPS act

Giant giveaway to exploitative corporations

infrastructure bill

Same, but with bragging about minimal climate change mitigation improvements while downplaying 10 million acres of new federal fossil fuel land leases.

expanded healthcare

Another case of the people wanting a mile, needing half a mile to barely get by without being forced to choose between death or lifelong debt, and getting an inch.

appointed Lina Khan on FTC

Admittedly a great thing done as a concession to the much more progressive people who suggested her. Same with Lauren McFerran at the NLRB. Doesn't mean that Biden gets personal credit for their work.

There are multiple different reports about Biden administration's work, if you care to look.

I have been. Seemingly unlike you, though, my sources have not been limited to those that are effectively pro-DNC propaganda outlets.

Of course the administration had to navigate through the real world challenges and they couldn't manage to wave a wand and turn USA into utopia.

The eternal excuse of the incompetent and the corrupt. Nobody's demanding perfection. You're just far too easily impressed and/or blinded by tribalism.

But to ignore the work they've done

I'm not ignoring anything. Again, my standards are just higher than your abyssal ones.

You're as misinformed as Fox News viewer.

Hey, I found this picture of you!

And now we have example of Brandolini's law, "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

Again with the projection. Your gish gallop is demagogue propaganda, not proof of anything.

Took you less than a minutes to be callously ignorant

Nah, I was just concise in my accurate description of affairs. Not my fault that your apologia is as verbose as it's misleading.

took me 15 minutes to refute it

You refuted nothing. Only thing you were right about was Lina Khan, and that was one decision on the advice of better people in a 4 year period of D to C- governing.

Get informed or get fucked.

Right back at you, buddy.

The infrastructure bill and Lina Khan are the only things I've noticed. I think someone I know got a Pell Grant and was helped by that possibly? But ya, too many of these things are so mean-tested and you have to jump through hoops to get them that so many people don't benefit that people end up not caring. It's the equivalent of saying you got so many a band-aid for multiple stab wounds. Ya I guess it's better than nothing but it's not going to stop the bleeding and it's definitely not good enough for the problems the country is facing and how people feel about it. The Democrats just blame the Republicans for being awful, and they are, but they also have an extremely limited imagination in what they promise and give. It ends up leading to the ratchet effect. The Republicans turn us right, and the Democrats only reverse a few things, so we end up more right than before. This trend isn't sustainable and this combination is why we're turning fascist today.

Whatever buddy. All these 'useless' things done by democrats are going to get demolished by Trump and then some more. Keep vilifying democrats when they were the best chance your country had at improvement.

Enjoy the MAGA hellhole that's about to fuck everything up.

I know. That's why I've been pointing out that the American Fascist Party is much worse than the Dems. Which you would have noticed if you'd have bothered to read what I wrote before going on your tribalist tirades.

Keep vilifying democrats

Again, deserved criticism for inadequacy ≠ vilification. I save that for Republicans.

they were the best chance your country had at improvement

Least bad, but yeah. They fucked that right up though, by running a 1992 campaign where they pretend that the left doesn't exist in the 21st century yet again.

Their awful strategy and arrogance cost them the election, not me.

Enjoy the MAGA hellhole that's about to fuck everything up.

Right back at you once again. The people you're defending caused that.
