I mean… it’s probably because the “great” things are tiny little things at the margins…
When I hear Biden is reducing the thing that fucking sucks to something that fucking sucks a tiny bit less and people are saying these are “great things,” It’s like hearing somebody say it’s a “great thing” that the grocery store sends a one time “3% off after buying 3x of an item” coupon once after prices have gone up by 20%.
If Biden wants to get more people on board, he’s gotta stop doing these fucking 3% coupon things and start passing major shit… or in the very least change his speeches from “we’re a good country with a good soul…” to “the Republicans are stopping me from passing a ‘fuck you grocery store stop gouging your prices by 20% to boost the stock price while firing workers’ piece of legislation forcing you to come back down to normal because you’re being a bunch of greedy fucking ghouls.”
This pro “status quo” and tiny coupon stuff he keeps going with has got to stop. He’s got to push and fight to show he wants to make things actually tangibly materially better!
