    Has he really passed much of his agenda though? Or, at least, what he said his agenda was in order to be elected.

    He has passed a bunch of legislative packages that have nice sounding names and were talked about by corporate media as historic, but when you take off the lid on most of them it’s mainly pork for corporations and anything of substance was cut down significantly from what it needed to be to be effective (climate spending in particular).

    The prime example to me of how Biden operates was made apparent in the debt ceiling negotiations; all the GOP had to do was threaten absurd economic suicide that they were never actually going to follow through on and they got him to make concessions while he got the American people literally nothing in return.

    I think this is because Biden is secretly pro-austerity and self-sabotages. He’s not fit for this crucial time in our history where bold action and change is needed.
