    Joe Biden has led the most progressive Administration in the nation’s history, investing in social justice, environmental programs, curtailing abuses by corporations and predatory institutions, stood with workers (both on the picket line and in the halls of government), developed initiatives and instituted policies to combat racial injustice, staved off a nuclear power’s assault on a weaker neighbor, overseen the largest growth in real wages in over a half century, passed keystone legislation which committed the largest investment ever into green policies and programs while also committing the largest investment ever into revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure, put more federal judges on the bench in his first term than the last two presidents combined, weathered the highest levels of inflation in generations so well that US fared markedly better than peer nations, guided the economy through that inflationary period without the need for a Volcker Shock, expanded trans rights in every corner of the federal government, oversaw the largest reduction in childhood poverty in the nation’s history, reduced pharmaceutical prices for Medicare users by over 20% on average and brought the cost of insulin down to less than $30, and that’s just off the top of my head.

    It’s trendy for the terminally online to knock Biden, but he’s gotten more done in three years than any President in recent history has in eight. I’m not ceding this ground to low-information voters like the commenters here seem to perpetually be. I’m excited to vote for the President who has achieved more leftist goals in three years than any other American elected official has over their entire career.

      Bro, you need to work for the election campaign. This is far more motivating than professional ads I see elsewhere.

        Watching from over here in New Zealand and if your reply to the thoughtful comment above you is - “he didn’t raise minimum wage enough” - 1. You don’t understand jack shit about economics, and 2. You forgot to adress all of the other points raised. But oh, your threatening to go vote against your own interests to spite this anonymous dude online.

        You are everything that is wrong with this world and I’m glad that I live far enough away that it won’t affect me. Fuck you and do what you want.

        It’s sad to see that so many people, like you, can not differentiate imbugue situations anymore. Why can’t somebody bring very good progress and on the other side do things you hate?

        If you see that only black and white your only solution can only be following austerity fascist like Trump and all the other ones of his clique.
