    No, it wasn’t. There were some vague and empty promises, but that kinda thing is a hard sell when you’re already in power and not doing those things.

      Wait, so now they have “vague and empty promises”? I thought they couldn’t even be bothered to lie, and had nothing to offer, making a con-man preferable?

      I kinda feel like you’re just more mad at Democrats than you are at Republicans who are actually doing bad things.

        Yes, I am more mad at Democrats than Republicans. They’re both doing bad things, but the Dems are the ones trying to pretend they’re not and claiming they represent our interests. Doing what Dems have always done, and absorbing leftist energy to actively prevent change.

      Yeah it was funny to me having kamala literally copy-paste biden’s 2nd term agenda and then talk about the things she’d do when she’s in charge.

      I’m like, yo aren’t you VP? Maybe get bidens ear, get started now, put some skin in the game?

      When it’s time to mend the social safety net, Dems have this ongoing act, like they’re always on the campaign and not in power.

        Because the party has become completely focused on high dollar salaries for the consultants running these campaigns. And they wonder why that doesn’t translate into victory.
