Minimum wage: One (1) half-assed attempt at raising it followed by a collective shrug-outta-hecks from the entire Democratic party

Medicare: Costs slightly lowered from "ludicrously expensive" to "outrageously expensive." Apparently raised the Medicare tax rate on incomes over $400,000 by a whole 1.2%. Maybe not nothing, but still tiny ass changes that don't fundamentally fix a broken system, and still aren't single player, universal healthcare. You know, the kind of system that everybody else has that has been proven to work, is cheaper, and doesn't plunge people into six figures of debt for the rest of their (and their next of kin's) lives.

In other words nothing fundamentally changed amerikkka-clap

Can't forget student loans.

All he's done is forgive those who actually got scammed and for everyone else just redid the payment plan based on income.

I tried but court said no so I won't try anything else

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
