Has value, sure, but if middling right wing half measures is how we measure change then Biden is hope and change too.

I think even the koolaid chugging liberals will admit Obama’s tenure was a disappointment, and whether they blame him for it or not, his agenda of changing things did not happen by really any metric.

My man had majorities in the house, senate, and a friendly Supreme Court. He could’ve done whatever he wanted and chose to govern like Bush.




I looked into it a bit more. The house majority at the beginning of Obama's presidency did not mean he could have passed anything he wanted. That time was used to pass aca and then only by a slim margin. It passed in the house 220-215. 39 Democrats voted no, only one Republican voted aye. I wonder what the relationship was between those nay Democrats and the insurance companies. In the Senate it was 60-39. The same year that aca was passed the Dems lost 63 seats in the house. They had a majority long enough to pass aca. I don't know how you can say nothing changed by any metric.
Medicaid expansion and coverage for those with pre-existing conditions are good things. https://www.statista.com/topics/3272/obamacare/#topicOverview says that as of now, roughly 40 million people "now benefit from ACA-related enrollment in health care programs such as Medicaid or purchased from the Marketplace."

As for "unprecedented obstruction", it really seems to be unprecedented. Before Republicans had control of the Senate, the confirmation success rate of Obama nominations was something like 90%. After they gained control of the Senate in November of 2014, that success rate fell to
28%.https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/oct/02/donald-trump/fact-check-why-barack-obama-failed-fill-over-100-j/
They also refused to vote on his appointment to replace the supreme Court Justice who died. It might also be worth mentioning how many states refused Medicaid expansion. As of now there're still ten states that have refused to expand Medicaid. 25 states refused to expand Medicaid initially. The states wouldn't have to pay for this expansion for the first three years if i remember correctly. The Fed would still have most of the burden after that. They just chose not to. Seems like obstruction or something.

Here's some of the other evil shit Republicans have been up to in regards to the aca for anyone who's interested.

They have every reason to do something like that. The West pumped opium into China and caused utter devastation. They have historical grievances against us. And Americans are being targeted and killed with fentanyl.




Why would China hurt themselves? COVID was bad for China.

Yes, his authentic suit that I’m sure he has infinite pieces of to sell for the low low cost of $5000 and a chance to take a helicopter ride to Mar-a-Lago.





He could live out his remaining years as some kind of birthday clown. "The Biden birthday family wants me to build this wall... Out of presents!"

Edit: maybe he uses balloons. It was too expensive to build a wall of presents

Edit:2 says he will use presents and he will get your parents to pay for them
