minus-squareHominine@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down6·9 months agoI do appreciate the tacit admission of his policy targets. Alas, even though you now claim to understand Biden’s hands are legislatively tied, he has since become unserious. You really are doing some work moving that target.
minus-squareKronolinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down14·9 months agoThere is a huge difference between a sales pitch and a policy target, you seem to be confusing the two. A sales pitch is just rhetoric and can often be disingenuous. I see no reason to suggest that economic populism will become a serious part of the Biden policy agenda.
