I don't mean the following as a personal attack, but I'm genuinely baffled by this sentiment. What exactly has the Biden admin accomplished or handled well so far?
Like... I can, of course, see why a lot of people would prefer the current admin over the Trump admin. But claiming that the Biden admin has exceeded expectations or proven MORE competent than even the Obama admin - I just dont get that.
I mean...do you really need to compare Biden's record to Obama's? Perhaps you were too young, but Obama was genuinely awful and his administration failed in a lot of ways. People liked him because he spoke well and is sandwiched between Bush and Trump.
My expectations were basically set by you guys mixed with what is realistically possible.
You would have me believe that the Democrats would spend 80 trillion over 10 years but I figured that'd be down to 6 trillion. It appears that we're going to get less than half of that in terms of new spending.
You would have me believe that Biden would expand the Supreme Court to 13 Justices but it seems like the commission is going to nix that.
You would have me believe that the filibuster would be removed and that DC and Puerto Rico would be states. I figured that PR becoming a state would be a possibility. We won't be getting that for sure.
I could go on and on but it looks like I'm getting A LOT of wins here with this administration.
