Basically reneged on every single campaign promise other than overturning Trumps shit. I expected it to happen but its still pretty disappointing.

Back to the country being stuck in place, woo!

Yeah this is what actual politics looks like. They lie, it seems like a lot of people forgot that due to the Trump circus.

Im not sure if youre implying that lying hasnt been happening for the 4 years before this, but uh...it did

Let me go on the record saying Biden is 300 times better than Trump and Id vote him still over basically any GOP hack but backing out of every single even slightly progressive stance he took is as disappointing as it was expected

And the point still stands that politicians lie

Trump being significantly worse in every way doesn't change that.

It's infuriating to me that Biden is getting away with his garbage just because it is so much better than Trump

Hes been president for less than a month lol

and most of the stuff hes done so far has been stuff hes campaigned on.

yeah, the 2k checks thing was iffy, but he never said youd get 2k flat out, he just said youd get 2k. 1400 + 600 = 2000. Big maths, I know

Yeah basically they just don't care.

Biden is part of the liberal/hollywood elite. They will virtue signal all day long, but when real action needs to be taken they're suddenly not so capable.

I mean, yeah I'm glad Trump is out of office too, but business as usual was never anywhere close to rainbows and butterflies.

Lol c'mon man

Don't act like you can't see how people would feel misled by it. If he meant $1400 then it'd be significantly more clear it he said that. What he did say was $2000 and now he is back tracking.

He also said he'd cancel $50k of student loan debt, but now it's down to $10k

I dont really know much about how politics works, but its not like he can just flip a light switch and these things happen right? It has to go through a whole process involving a lot of people right? Many of whom probably dont want to see those changes.

This is how politics works though, if you pay any amount of attention.

It's like going to a pawn shop, you should know what you're getting into.

"I want $50K for this family heirloom"

"I'll give you $5K"

"$15K"

"$10K take it or leave it"

except you're not actually in the store and you've sent a Representative to do the negotiating with, so by the time you get your money you're looking at a tax credit

Did he actually say this or was it something Dems in congress wanted him to do? I thought hed been in favor of the $10k debt relief for a long time

The Right expected him to have all those green energy jobs immediately ready for the "tens of thousands" of fossil fuel jobs he'd get rid of by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline.

It's what I feared the most. The DNC has three ideologies to contain and so far the other two are having a field day on the Biden Administration right now. In addition, the Rona situation isn't look great too.

Use budget reconciliation to get $2000 checks passed like he said he would if the Dems won in Georgia
That's fair, but I'm willing to bet that it's coming.

I mean, him undoing the shit Trump did was about all I expected from him. He's no progressive so if he gets at least that done, mission accomplished I guess. Let's elect someone better next time

I dont get it, do they pay yer bills or what? Whats it cost you to light an UNDESERVED fire under their ass? Seriously, you guys are ridiculous

You put your vote for this guy and youre not even gonna get as much out of it as you can? Not gonna pressure these fools to work harder and faster?

I think Id much rather have pride in the achievements of this country and the people in it than have pride in these stupid ass politicians any day of the week

No, he literally never said "I will cancel 50k in student debt." The democrats in Congress suggested it was something that should be considered. To conservatives that translates to "Joe said it he's a liar!" somehow.

Biden used weasel logic in his last town hall meeting to explain why $50k can't be done....

That is 100% on Biden
