That these policies are rather mid, and they would like to see better. That doesn't imply anything about voting.
You can support your favorite sports ball team, and still complain when they suck, wanting them to do better.
You gotta realize, America isn't a new iPhone release with chamfered edges. We're trying to save America from Fascism. That the campaign is also doing things on top of that is just great. They've already probably accomplished much more in the last 4 years than you realized, not even counting the fact that they had to undo the clusterfuck that DonOld the Orange Bloat left behind where departments had no people, no records, nothing.
Example of what you should expect in the future based on the last 4 years (as summarized by ChatGPT):
Biden-Harris Administration Accomplishments (2020-2024)
Summary of Key Accomplishments
Economic Recovery and Job Creation:
Healthcare and Social Policies:
Infrastructure and Environmental Initiatives:
Social Justice and Civil Rights:
Foreign Policy and National Security:
Economic and Trade Policies:
Departmental and Agency Accomplishments
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
Department of Energy (DOE)
Department of Education
Upvote for effort alone.
But you gotta realize, I didn't mention Biden's accomplishments. It's all arguing against something I wasn't even talking about. So as great as your comment is, it's kinda misplaced.
You're choosing a team. Not a person.
I'm choosing a person, hoping they build (inherit) a good team.
