Gary, Im moving this here. It’s off-topic in the Canada thread.
Most of the criticism against Biden has its direct cause in the Republican contingent throwing wrenches into the legislative works, and then loudly blaming Biden, the Democrats, and frivolities like Bud Light. (An excellent example is laying the price of gas at Biden’s feet. More accurately that blame falls on the predecessor and his disastrous foreign policy that emboldened the Saudis, Iranians and Russians* to f*** with oil prices and back or execute wars whose global drag on economies is severe.)
With more Democrats (or possibly some moderate Republicans, but the WWF lists them as feared extinct) to soundly disable the far right’s program to break stuff, Biden and the executive branch could soar to heights not seen since Roosevelt no. 2 or perhaps Kennedy.
*honorable mention to China, for destabilizing both the western Pacific and for strongarming commodity prices, notably rare earths, lithium and now graphite.
The Chinese were also emboldened by clown-shoes foreign policy that the current administration is having trouble containing for the usual reason: obstruction in Congress by a party that has derelicted its primary duty of governance in favor of big lie histrionics.
So my considered opinion is: housecleaning. Give the progressives an honest shot at returning America to the people, not just the white straight Christian males who are running the culture war out of the realistic dread fear that they are becoming a political and cultural minority.
Republicans desperately want power, and are implementing anything they can to subvert the Constitution and establish authoritarian minority rule. Because they are a minority and cannot win an honest election.
Democrats want to heal America and inject some badly-needed social democracy into the mix.
Tax the rich and feed, house and school the poor and unpopular.
And for Pete’s sake abandon the failed “small government, supply-side economics” experiment that is giving us a wealth gap ordinarily associated with those massively corrupt nations in Africa and elsewhere that have a president-for-life and the death penalty for sexual honesty.
Our current status quo is “one dollar; one vote”. And billionaires are notoriously fascistic. (They are also fond of manipulating at the highest levels. See Thomas/Crow and Alito/Leo.) The republic has a (!)load of work to do to start heading back to “one person; one vote”, and job 1 is to repeal Citizens United.
Answered with equal respect: Joe Biden backed by a Congress swept of the treason caucus, and maga in general.
