    Well just for one example, Joe Biden has been aggressively using the powers he has via the department of education to cancel outstanding student loan balances that were completely legal and very profitable for usurious loan servicing companies.

    No Republican would do that.

    He and the Democrats leveraged their control of Congress in 2021 and 2022 to pass legislation that is going to do more to reduce our contribution to climate change than ever before. Not enough, but way more than any Republican would do.

    I feel like that means our democracy is sort of working.

    In so called “blue” states, they’re expanding voting access.

    I agree that campaign contributions are a serious challenge, but for example Bernie and Elizabeth Warren have done great things without contributions from billionaires.

    We can do this, but we need to stand up in the face of fear and push as hard as we can. The only thing to fear is fear itself!
