MODERATORS
This is completely tone deaf to the things that Biden HAS been able to accomplish. I'd encourage you to research his presidency before you accept and parrot all of the bad things you hear.
To name just a few:
And that's not mentioning the things that could have happened were it not for constant obstruction of Republicans - specifically, efforts to better protect our borders and efforts to curb gun violence.
The president is not a king or autocrat no matter how much Trump and Republicans might disagree. His policy decisions must be focused in order to make any progress at all. He can't simply wave his hand and make everything a magical utopia.
So before you continue complaining about the lack of progress, I implore you: take ten minutes to do some Google searches about the things that are important to you and the reasons why more progress is not being made. You might be surprised at weary you learn.
It is critically important that we do not give up ground and backslide because the conservative media machine is so powerful that it makes it seem like nothing good has happened.
That individual likely isn't going to reply. Assume maliciousness before ignorance. That said, please keep replying like this. We don't know how big our impacts are though hopefully we are able to change a mind and correct the bad narrative trying to take hold.
