    Huh, so is he gonna stop funding genocide? Is he gonna end student loans? Let women get abortion healthcare at military bases? Stack the court? Stop giving military equipment to police? Give me $1200? Federally legalize pot and pardon all cannabis possession/distribution charges?

    He barely scraped by in 2020, and that was with people expecting steps towards free college, defunding the police, freeing the migrant concentration camps, and free healthcare. Since then he has only demotivated the base.

      it will be interminably funny to me that the democrats could literally have spent the entire last 4 years just pushing any single one of these issues through the House/Senate and gotten it passed & they would’ve swept 2024 without even having to worry about Trump. Like they could’ve just made Student Loan forgiveness threshold a lot lower (i.e. bring it down from 10 years of on-time payments or whatever it is currently at, to something more reasonable like 4 years or just…forgive all federal student loans for everyone who made less than $150k last tax year) and won by a landslide. They could’ve just done a little bit more than pardoning marijuana convictions - like if they’d spent the entire last year demanding the DEA reschedule it anytime someone from his cabinet was in front of a microphone, surely the DEA would’ve.

      But nah, too much effort and we HAVE to remember that the Democrats don’t control both chambers!!!
