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.
