Maybe its just watching from afar and only having paid attention to politics from 9/11 onwards but it feels like an infrastructure bill is more important than people give credit for. The train crashes and the rail union strike did actually lead somewhere; despite breaking the strike, apparently Biden helped get the benefits the rail union workers wanted for them even after the actual strike was off.
Aside from that, I’m not sure how even Obama would have handled a pandemic and a war with Russia. I do know that, sad as it may be, there really was no choice. Trump would literally have gone nuclear and/or instituted martial law if he could have and saw an opportunity (like a completely unchecked pandemic leading to widespread death), because it would ensure he remains in power indefinitely, there’s no doubt we wouldn’t even be allowed to discuss this in 2023 if Trump had been reelected.
As for LGBTQ+, that was a supreme court decision in my eyes and so the blame falls on Trump for that because he hand-picked them for exactly the reason that it acted as “insurance”.
Anyway, sorry to bother you. I get politics is a touchy subject and I’m not sure what else I can say that’s not tinted through maple-tinted lenses.
