    in bidenland if you say "he hasn't done anything" it's just met with incoherent screeching, so people have given up trying to convince the diehards of this and are going for the gentler "people haven't heard about all the things he's done" then letting the diehards walk directly into the pit of trying to lay out his accomplishments in a way people won't immediately gut-dismiss as hot air

      Yup saw a comment on reddit saying you might not like him on Palestine but if you like unions weed or green energy it was a no brainer.

      The person who pointed out that he personally broke a strike, weeds still federally illegal and were producing more oil than anybody ever got heavily downvoted.

      Democrats campaign message is literally "don't believe your lying eyes"

        Democrats have bought-in fully on the notion that the Rail Strike was a tough-negotiated victory for the unions. They got a few days of sick pay! The rest is handwaved or forgotten

        Nooo don't ruin my nice little box with the material reality! I already put him down as good on these issues, it doesn't matter what he's actually done for them!

      Excuse me, you didn't hear about the student loan forgiveness for 12 people in Wisconsin? Or those $600 checks (down from $2000)... or the "Inflation Reduction Act" that totally, definitely worked?
