Infrastructure was done under every president but Trump and is normal functioning governance.

Corporate subsidy and monopolization of EV market

Corporate subsidy for MIC

Not actually loan Reform, college is more expensive than ever

Drug pricing might be the only novel and just good thing going on this list. But it's certainly not stacking up to ACA and Zero Deficit Budgeting.

Yet another bad faith meme trying to make Biden look more friendly to the average American than he is.

In other news today we found out he never meant for Palestine to have it's own state. That was all lies. We know this because the cables leaked showing the US trying their damnedest to get other countries to vote against Palestinian Statehood. This couldn't possibly be a distraction from that, right guys?

Here are Clinton's claimed achievements. It's a lot more than "the deficit". There's a reason why he was reelected:

Clinton ushered in the era of the neoliberal democrats, after a series of genuinely good ones like JFK and Carter, and ones like LBJ that might have been murderers abroad but at least were aggressively progressive at home. (I know, JFK killed a bunch of people too)

I'm not saying Clinton was bad necessarily; he was certainly better than more Republicans, but he wasn't a mostly affirmatively good thing like Obama or Biden have been. The pre-internet picture of the world that most voters had was radically more conservative than today's view (in a way that's honestly hard to remember now that non-establishment news is a normal thing). I think as a result of that blinkered view, candidates too far on the left were just getting their ass kicked in the election over and over again, so maybe it was the right thing for him to do to move to the right. But even some of the stuff on that list of achievements is sinister neoliberal shenanigans (more police, less people on welfare after welfare-to-work, etc). Income at the top went up, but income inequality continued to skyrocket under Clinton's economic policies pretty much exactly as it had under Reagan's.

Trump wants to win because he is a narcissist and really needs a few get out of jail free cards.

Even though I agree with the sentiment, and being a very extreme leftist myself, this is cartoonishly lopsided.

This will not convince anyone. Have fun preaching to the choir I guess, it is a pointless endeavor 🤷🏻‍♀️

If we want to turn people away from them, it will take more than pointing out that they’re evil, however true it may be. (And don’t misunderstand me, it is very true)
