It is day 100 of the Biden presidency. In 100 short days Biden has, unsurprisingly, not been a particularly progressive president. So here’s a list of every progressive thing that Biden could have done or every action that Biden took that was against a progressive agenda:
-Air Strikes in Syria
-Reopening previously closed “facilities” at the southern border
-sending more military equipment to American neighborhoods than Trump did.
-proposing a $753,000,000,000 Pentagon budget,
-not removing remove patent barriers on Covid-19 vaccines
-settling on a 25% corporate tax rate
-Not sanctioning MBS
-continuing to advance Trump's $23 billion arms deal for the UAE.
-considering "filling gaps" in the US-Mexico border wall.
-looking to extend a Trump era policy that bolsters mandatory minimum drug sentences.
-continuing to seizing land for the border wall
-continuing to support the Saudi Blockade in Yemen
-allowing oil to continue to flow through the Dakota Access Pipeline despite the ongoing threats it poses to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
-not ordering the Pentagon to recall the billions in military gear it loaned to police.
-continuing the Trump Pentagon’s policy of embracing landmines.
-continuing a Trump policy that boosted armed drone exports per Reuters
-urging the Supreme Court to let cops enter homes and seize guns without a warrant
-blocking media access to their border operations.
-Dozens of young Biden White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use
-continuing to house immigrant children in inhumane conditions.
-continuing to support a coup in Venezuela
-Issuing 31 new drilling permits on federal land
-Not passing a promised $15 minimum wage
-Not passing a promised $2,000 to all individuals
-not officially banning the death penalty
-not canceling any student debt
-not passing Medicare for all
-not passing a green new deal
-not ending fracking
-not legalizing marijuana
-not supporting ending the filibuster
-not giving visa’s to people who were denied them because of Trump's Muslim ban.
You may think that creating this thread is tedious or stupid but I think it’s important to understand what the President has done that is actively hurting Americans. Biden is not a left wing president, if we want him to move left we need to know what Biden needs to change to move

It is day 100 of the Biden presidency. Whole Biden hasn’t been a progressive president. He does have a few accomplishments. Including:
-announcing he will withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
-Ending long term family detention
-issuing a policy that sharply limits the immigrants whom ICE officers can arrest at courthouses
-launching an "internal review to address the threat of domestic violent extremism within the Department of Homeland Security."
-consolidating Guantanamo Bay. 40 detainees will now be in two instead of three detention facilities.
