Right. It’s pretty unbelievable and very sad that the media has been able to somehow convince so many Americans that Joe Biden is some kind of New Deal Democrat. He was a pioneer of the policies we now know as actually existing neoliberalism.

Yet again, it is even more obvious than before that the United States is an oligarchy without exception.

The suffering will continue until older cohorts age out and younger cohorts grow as a majority, supporting progressive policies, along with the passing of existing elderly incumbent politicians who aren't "on board" (neither Biden nor Pelosi support Medicare For All, but they're also 77 and 80 years old respectively).

I agree that there's a large partisan and ideological gap between the young and old, but people have been predicting the "aging in" of a new, more progressive electorate for about as long as I can remember. It never seems to actually happen.

Shifting politics takes time, a glacial pace. Lots of progress so far (LGBTQ+ rights, marijuana legalization state by state, minimum wage increases, restoring voting rights to felons), just have to keep applying pressure. Lots of work left to be done. See you on the campaign trail.
