    And yet Republicans will tell you straight to your face that they improved healthcare access. That’s the parallel. The point.

      I think the difference to me is that Democrats/Joe Biden are passing real legislation that will go into effect and do something hopefully, whereas Republicans have dismantled protections for women, etc. Definitely important not to count the chickens before they hatch though!

        Yeah, but people on discussion forums have a generally higher exposure to political stuff. Most voters aren’t even aware there was another wave of loan forgiveness, that they lowered the cost of hearing aids, put a large amount of money towards Superfund cleanup, or set new regulations around HFCs and methane.

        They just want to put food on the table for their family in return for working 40 hours a week in the most automated economy ever.
