Dear liberals, many of you have said things along the lines of "It's Biden's first week, he's already done great things, what's the issue with progressives?" In the case that this is a genuine question rather than rhetorical condescension, here's a thread on what our "issue," is
WHERE'S THE CHECKS? Over and over we heard Dem senate = instant $2K checks. Then it turned into $1,400, now even that number will go to negotiations with the GOP because Biden fetishizes bipartisanship when he doesn't need to. This can be passed with budget reconciliation TODAY.
WHERE'S THE COVID PLAN? "Trump has no plan for covid, I do." Sound familiar? Now Biden says "There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the virus." What? There's a hell of a lot of things we can do and we have to remind him of that as we approach 500k Covid deaths.
WHERE'S THE ANTI-WAR PARTY? Not long ago, dems were considered the anti-war opposition to Bush. Fast forward to Biden considering a reversal of Trump's order to remove troops from Iraq (18 year war!)Only thing wrong with Trump's order is that it would only remove *some* troops.
FOR REAL THO, WHERE?? Biden reversed the ban of transgender people from our military which is kind of a weird form of equality to celebrate. Now they have the same ability to kill innocent brown civilians in an unjust war that cisgendered people do... cool.
