    Sorry, not a yankee. But isn't almost all of that bullshit?

    Massive infrastructure bill - that resulted in fuck all.

    Support for Ukraine - The entire war is for that reason. And is now artifically kept going.

    COVID relief - which never was paid as promised?

    Protecting reprodfuctive rights despite RvW - But not codifying RvW

    Lowering drug costs - still among the highest worldwide

    historically low unemployment - via a very creative meaning of "historically"

    No clue about the last thing.

      KBJ is a justice on the federal supreme court. Having six conservatives on the court and three liberals is better than 7 2 but I don't know that it amounts to much. Would be better if he'd pack the court, or even threaten to.

    Not a yank so know fuck all about most of these but:

    Protecting reproductive rights despite Roe V Wade repeal

    data-laughing

    "I'm totally protecting abortion everyone!" Does nothing

    Inflation reduction

    Means inflation is still increasing just at a slower rate, effectively meaningless for most people.

    • Infrastructure is nice, but he's a long way off from FDR

    • lmao

    • tens of thousands dead in a war we did everything in our power to provoke

    • no you fucking didn't stop lying

    • reducing a ten thousand dollar medical bill by like a hundred bucks nice job

    • inflation is famously really low right now

    • the problem isn't people not having jobs it's the jobs not paying enough

    • replacing one lib with another, sure okay whatever

    GenZ is just 30 year olds desperate to reclaim their wasted youth, "boomer" types who want to complain about the "kids these days", pedos and feds. No actual gen Z to be found there.

    Elephant in the room here: I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of r/GenZ are like 30+ year olds like r/teenagers. Me personally, I don't hang out in places dedicated to my age group.

    They were gonna put genocide in the achievements column until someone reminded them it's bad to do genocide, even if you consider the ethnicities lower.

    well...the american elections are in a very strange crossroad:

    vote for the guy who started a war and supports genocide by imperialistic reasons

    or

    voting for the guy who WANTS to start a war and a genocide because he sees himself as a tough guy

      Also, they're both definitely pedos, racist, and among the most corrupt POTUSes (tough competition that it is) in history.

      NGL, the USA is getting the leaders it deserves. Not that I wish it were, but these two are perfect examples of the "ugly American" in its two most common forms.
