We do have plans for highspeed rail, we’re building it in California, Navada, Florida, and the north east corridor right now, with plans to extend the network and add new lines.
Biden has also been funding renewable energy, and fighting inflation, forgiving student debt, and providing funding for first time home buyers.
We absolutely still need a public option for healthcare, and to decriminalize cannabis, but I don’t think you’re giving him enough credit. Biden has done more to help unions than Clinton or Obama. He’s been getting a lot done with a divided congress.
In 2008, both China and the US announced competing high speed rail initiatives.
According to wikipedia, China now has 43,000 km of high speed rail. The US has 80 km of high speed rail.
Yes Cali has plans for high speed rail, its pretty much the same plan from 2008.
And going down your list- renewable energy, fighting inflation, student debt forgiveness, homebuyer assistance - all of these are tepid, surface level initiatives that do not solve the underlying problems. So you’re right, I dont give Biden much credit.
I’m not asking for “it all”, I don’t expect it to be perfect. I’m just pointing out the glaring contrast- China successfully built high speed rail, and the US has failed (so far)
I dont like the progress we have made because I believe in the promise of America. America can do so much better. We should be building rail just as fast as China, but instead we are building at 1% of their pace and people like you call it “progress”.
I agree with everything you said here except America having promise. America doesn’t have promise, it’s been holding the world back for a long time now, and bullying all the other nations. It would be best for it to crash and burn like all the other nations it made crash and burn.
I think the fact I am English has as much bearing on this opinion as being left-adjacent. My country helped form the United States, and many of us (not just leftists) are disturbed at what has happened since we were kicked out. I mean it’s a common stereotype here that Americans are dumb, fat, and racist.
Funny how this comment is being made by the same guy that accused me of being a mutt because he doesn’t think I’m as Irish as he supposedly is? Now he says he’s English. Hey, mutt, where is your dna test to prove you’re so much better than everyone, especially Americans?
I was actually born in England though. I live in England. I have an English passport. That’s what it means to be English. Being born in America with an American passport makes you, wait for it, American.
Yeah the fact we are now only moderately better than the USA is disturbing. Hey at least we don’t have fascists and right wing nut jobs trying to take over the government. Likewise you don’t go broke from getting ill, even if the care isn’t as good as it used to be.
Can you actually say I am wrong? America is known for modeling in foreign affairs, sponsoring coups and starting civil wars, and just straight up invading places. You’re even worse than China, and China has a bad track record.
America Literally every powerful nation is known for modeling in foreign affairs, sponsoring coups and starting civil wars, and just straight up invading places.
Many of those other nations are much worse than the US.
America has been holding the world back in the sense of separating combatants in fist fights. We have been global peacekeepers for almost a century now and it’s been an incredibly good thing for the human race. Not to mention our technological advancements. The rise of the USA has been a good thing for humanity, though it does have its downsides.
The first part is sort of true, but nobody does it more aggressively than America and Russia.
You aren’t even close to peacekeepers. You are literally sponsoring genocide in Palestine. You started a whole war in Vietnam and then lost. Stop pretending to be the good guys.

Man, the self-righteous delusion going on in this place.
Libs are SOOO desperate to believe something other than reality (not you, your haters).
Check calendar
As it turns out, as the date changes the world changes as well. Sometimes you can’t have it all, sometimes plans have to change.
Sorry you don’t like the progress we have made 👉👈

Mask off “leftist” moment here

Also never once claimed to be Irish, you’re making that the fuck up.
