It’s not even that It’s status quo except with some long term investments. Things like the inflation reduction act and the unipartisan infrastructure act (yeah repubs dont get credit for something they had to be dragged into some supporting before they tore it down as soon as they had the power). He also got blocked from forgiving student loans.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not enough, but it is something that’s been rare.
I’d say the “status quo” is getting worse. The system itself makes things worse without intervention. And for a Biden specific failure, the non-prosecution of Republican crimes against democracy haven’t just allowed the criminals to freely continue, but normalized those crimes and enabled the criminals to become even worse.
Sure, but that’s the problem. “status quo” is: Continuously getting worse, while politicians openly lie about how it’s getting better. Voters very clearly don’t want status quo. They want something different, and are clearly ready to burn everything down to get it. Maybe the Democrats should try offering up “Different, in a positive direction” instead.
Yeah, everything didn’t get worse, just the basics like housing, healthcare, the economy, the environment, the military, policing…
Not a fan of Biden, but his admin was like the definition of “status quo”.
Which sucks, but that’s a different conversation. It’s unequivocally superior to whatever the fuck is going on right now.
