      He passed the IRA, rejoined the Paris Agreement, repealed the transgender ban in the military, restored net neutrality, defended the use of mifepristone, supported Ukraine, and relieved some student debt. That’s enough to earn my vote.

        Right, but when your beliefs involve the dissolution of capitalism, these are more like perpetuating the system.

          Even the people who believe in dissolving capitalism have accomplished nothing but perpetuate the system.

            Its that shitty Ben shapiro meme. “You hate the system yet you participate in it, curious?”

            Yeah not really many options when you’ve gotta put food on the table. The change comes from the top down down down Esit: I may or may not be misreading your comment.

              The top doesn’t have as many options as people think.

              Ben Shapiro is dumb and I don’t fault anyone who can’t bring about a worker’s paradise, provided they make an incremental improvement in the lives of others. That includes Biden.

              After taking millions of tiny steps forward, we’ll eventually get to where we need to be.

                Too bad at this rate, the planet will be burnt to a crisp before we get anywhere close to good enough.

                No time for baby steps. Perhaps its selfish, but Id like these changes in my lifetime, please.

                  It’s not selfish. People are SUFFERING and DYING. The people who are selfish are the ones who don’t want to give up the privilege and luxury they have that is only made possible by the suffering and exploitation of others these reforms would help the most.

                  I think the biggest LOL in history is Main Characters who think they can immediately solve the world’s problems. They literally have a 0% success rate.

                  All of our actual progress has always been incremental.
