The primary issue with arguments just like this one is that you need small and medium changes to effectively lay the groundwork for larger shifts. Moreover, these are still positive, so stop complaining. Show your support for what positive changes happen and promote MORE changes rather than constantly turning your nose up.

Read my comment history, lol. For example, on the Net Neutrality restablishment and on the banning of non-compete clauses, I uncritically supported these.

I absolutely support positive changes, but Biden is not merely a bunch of small positive changes. Biden is a continuation of Capitalism's decline and is not reversing that course in any manner!

I do promote positive change. I donate to Palestinine, I donate to Strike Funds. I try to spread pro-Union sentiment without getting fired, and I read Leftist theory whenever I can so that I can do better.

What I will not do is waste my time punching left and minimizing criticism of the failing Capitalist Empire that is the US and those who support it.
