all ask out of a president is to try to stand behind the people and make speeches in times such as this like he cares maybe even go to where the issue is and talk to people

that would be an awesome leader

still hoping for change a decade later

Democrats and Republicans have had long enough to show they can do a good job time to let someone else try

called no one makes enough to buy one and our leaders refuse to make companies pay living wages so we could afford one

plus the electric vehicle infrastructure is not government run and not robust enough to handle a full transition

has Biden at least visited Disneyland and talked to the workers to let them know he stands with them even though his power to fix anything is limited

he could at the very least show some solidarity to the working class that actually make the US great

this is becoming normal for most in the US

hardly anyone here makes over $20 an hour and it shows that people are unable to afford to go to work due to subpar pay

know a plumbing business in our area that pays its employees less than $15 an hour and that is considered good pay in this area with housing and food as high as the rest of the country

and the US has not had a proworker president ever

Biden threatened the last workers to protest for better with the threat of losing their livelihoods

cost of vehicle ownership is astronomical these days how could anyone in the US afford both housing and a vehicle with average US pay

know people skipping insurance and registration fees due to low pay and high cost

all this has to come to a head at some point

going to a grocery store that is not fully stocked and only the self-checkouts are open because the pay is so low no one can afford to work is more than normal now in the US

thanks Trump and Biden for making the US a better place for the elites

is the minimum wage still $7.25 and the rent and food more than even $20 an hour would cover?

has the police problem been solved?

what about the environment we got cop city being built on a national forest?

what about healthcare or bodily autonomy?

what about worker’s rights

what about anything else he ran on?

not all of live in a HOA bubble in the US

Trump left the office with the country in worse shape and so is Biden

against a prosecutor for a president

last thing we need is for the police to get representation

lot of people they put down that have been waiting for someone to be in office like us

this election is showing just how far away from labor reforms we are

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Crime_Control_Act_of_1984

The 1994 Crime Bill marked a shift in the politics of crime and policing in the United States. Sociologist and criminologist William R. Kelly states that, “While the longer-term impact of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 was questionable, the political impact was clear—crime control or ‘tough on crime’ became a bipartisan issue.”[36]

a lot of people including helping keep the citizens of Mississippi from voting

supported by both Democrats and Republicans

and Trump donated to both parties at the times these acts were passed

shit stinks no matter what color you spray paint it
