admiralteal ,

You're the one who pretty directly said Biden is maintaining the status quo and has changed nothing.

Which is a lie. It's not even a misunderstanding, or a personal political opinion, or even bullshit. It is an actual lie. You're a liar when you make that implication.

That's what this come down to. Your personal politics are pure liberalism, not progressivism.

ONLY individual rights matter to you. A government violating someone's rights should stop all other activities until it fixes that violation. Even if trying to fix that violation both will not work and will force abandonment of ALL other progressive reforms. Because a right violation is more important than any other activity.

The irony is, you wield the word "progressive" as if you are one, but really you just don't know what these words mean.

You want Biden to take the strongest possible stance on a issues he actually couldn't fix (because the POTUS is not God and he has particularly little power thanks to not controlling Congress and having a flatly corrupt judiciary working against him). It does not matter to you if taking some of these stances would cease ALL OTHER progressive reform while also not working. You're still going to confidently call him absolutely ineffective and evil if he doesn't do it because the rest of progress does not matter in your politics, only the liberties do. No complexity or compromise allowed.

Just... shut up. Stop making the left look stupid. Or at least learn to criticize without denying all progress.
