That is funny but not the way you think. The Ds aren’t commie socialist. That’s dumb con think. The Ds are just like the Rs. Corporatist quasi neo-Fascists. Rapacious MFers too.
After all both criminal gangs are owned and controlled by the same people.
That may have been true of the Clinton Democratic Party but it's not true today. Clinton was a fan of Milton Friedman and his free market capital theories, and moved the Democratic Party 50 paces to the right, to get the country out of the grip of Reaganomics. The traditional Democratic Party base (the Unions), had been smashed, and Reagan had a politically successful administration, even though it was a fiscal disaster for the American worker and the union movement.
Clinton opposed NAFTA, and only agreed to sign it after significant protections for American workers were written into the final document. Clinton was enough of a fiscal conservative, to cut the size of government and balance the budget, and enough of a Democrat to prosecute employers who hired illegals, holding the record for Orders obtained against employers by any President. His record of deportations is the reason why Latinos distrust Democrats, and their promises.
Obama went along with the corporatism because the economy was in total freefall. You don't rock the boat when it's taking on water, and about to sink. Obama stabilized the economy, and rebuilt it stronger than before, cut illegal immigration to the lowest levels this century, again using enforcement against employers, and succeeded in passing health care reform, which every Democrat since Harry Truman tried and failed to do.
Joe Biden is just a flat out working class Democrat. He didn't grow up rich. He went to a state college, not an ivy league university on a "legacy" admission, or because his father made a big "donation" to the school. He doesn't shit on a golden toilet. And Daddy didn't hand him a million dollars to start a business, or a billion dollars to bail out his losses. He understands the life of a working class family, when their father loses his job, the importance of education to help work your way out of poverty, and the importance of universal health care for the nation.
When you're working to end dysfunction, you have to start where the dysfunctional are right now, and make incremental changes in the right direction. You also need to triage the issues. Before he could do much of anything, Obama had to halt the economic crash, and restore the jobs lost. Before he could do much of anything, Biden had to deal with the pandemic, and the economic crash, and the end of the war in Afghanistan.
So far, he's achieved a great deal, but the end of the pandemic has created the supply chain problems, high inflation, and a great deal of civil unrest, violence, crime. Not just in the USA, but your problems are exacerbated by Trump's cancellation of your trade deals, lack of infrastructure at ports of entry, lack of transportation infrastructure, 10 million more jobs than workers, no immigration, no work visas, and closed borders for 3 plus years, continuing kills by police of unarmed suspects, mass killings nearly every single week, mental health issues, post pandemic stresses.
All countries are facing some of these issues, but no nation is facing the mass killings, and violence, and crime that's happening in the USA. No other nation has children dying because they can't get formula, nor are we "hardening" our schools, or posting armed guards at the doors.
No other nation is eliminating women's reproductive rights, and restricting the rights of it's citizens to vote.
No other nation is erupting in racial animus, right wing terrorism, and allowing terrorists to roam the streets with high capacity magazines on the AR weapons.
