Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean, i bet he'd be surprised how successful he could be if he actually started doing good things. Ending your ridiculous american war on everything would be a good start. So would actual health care implemented without republican consultation (otherwise known as nerfing), and really any other point on a civil democrat's agenda would be good. You know, all the things that have only been payed lip service since the 80s, like education. The debt forgiveness is a good move.
Especially if they're things he promised to do 5 years ago when he was campaigning
At this point I dont expect him to do anything that's not the political equivalent of a home run served up on a tee ball tee.
That's usually the case with first terms, they're an extended interview for the second term when he actually sometimes does what he wants to do. My solution is a limit of one term for every federal office, make reelection irrelevant.
I doubt very much that Biden's second term will be substantially different from his first. I will still vote for him, but only because the alternative is utter disaster.
Here you go bud, take a peek and see how it's going so far.

Biden ended billions and billions of student loan debt. He announced funding for HSR projects. He began pardoning non-violent drug offences. He rolled back dangerous Trump era policies surrounding climate change. He blocked the Keystone XL pipeline. He ended the Muslim travel ban. He ended the state of emergency at the border which was created by Trump to divert federal funds to build the disastrous "wall". Like, people are funny and think that Biden hasn't done anything in 4 years.
Yea people are just falling for media propaganda or both sides again. He's done roughly a third of what he promised and a bunch more that wasn't one of his promises and still has a bunch in the works. Here's a link for proof. Roughly a third is stalled and it isn't even all his fault but the other side pushing back.
