See, this whole “Bidenomics” fluff may be marginally better than the pure dysfunction of the Republicans, but ultimately it’s at the level of “bare minimum for a functioning state.” Like, if the house is on fire you’re not going to win over hearts and minds by bragging about how you patched those cracks in the foundation.
It's saddening how liberals will take just slowing of the decay of pretty much everything in their country as a good thing, and criticize countries that are actually doing something.
Liberals refuse to see the decay because they’re stuck in the mentality that the brief window of post-cold war but pre-9/11 neoliberal political economy was the peak of humanity and so instead of fixing shit, let alone progressing, they’re just trying to preserve how they imagined the politics of the mid-90’s to be.
