This is such a milquetoast retort.
You have such a misunderstanding of government if you think federal funding allocation is not fundamental change, it's a core function of government. Funding semiconductor production to reduce dependence on Taiwan has such far reaching consequences.
Another complete misunderstanding of government powers, of course it had to be with bipartisan medications, do you not think the house and senate wouldn't filibuster over broad sweeping healthcare changes?
What would you have preferred Biden do in Ukraine?
And a strong economy directly tied to the Build Back Better Act gets a "no" from you. Good one.
I could go through each of your shithouse Biden demands, but as soon as I saw a federal wage increase I knew you had no grasp on the role of federal government. Why should the minimum wage in Utah be the same as California?
Giving handouts to corporations is par for the course. Not a fundamental change.
I guess since you have proven completely incapable of debunking anything I've actually said, making shit up is a great alternative.
You have a poor grasp on the idea of "fundamental change." You seem to be of the opinion that it means "pissing about at the edges and doing as little as possible." Also, the House has no filibuster and the Senate could have eliminated the filibuster forever at any time with a simple majority vote, which is all it takes to alter Senate rules.
Been more supportive than he was. But I'm not going to pretend that what he did for Ukraine is in any way a deviation from the norm. It was not a fundamental change.
Considering BBB didn't pass, yeah. I don't give credit for non-accomplishments.
You asked, and I provided a list of broken promises. If Biden wanted to say he kept his word, he should have kept his word.
"You don't know how government works" is just what centrists say when they're wrong. You've said some variant of it three times in this comment alone.
Well, that wasn't the position I stated. Wages should go up because prices have gone up without a wage increase since 2009.
Now to address your strawman directly: An hour of a person's life is not worth less in Utah. No matter how much you think that that person is worth less.
