    Progs had no problem voting for Obama's second term because he got millions healthcare,Dodd Frank,ended the bush tax cuts for the top,cut military spending,didn't sell us out like Biden in the debt ceiling deal etc.

    You don't seem to understand how this works - in 2008 there was a financial crisis and hence Dodd Frank got passed.

    In 2020 there was COVID so the rescue act was passed. There isn't going to be a second round of Dodd Frank for progressives to make it a voting issue.

    Same for healthcare reform, there can't be another round of ACA either.

    Trump's tax cuts haven't expired so it can't be negotiated yet.

    If you don't consider the Rescue Act and the Infrastructure Bill as progressive then you should debate Bernie Sanders instead of me.

    He did get those 500 a month student loan payments restarted at the insistence of the GOP.Every month dem voters write that check they will be thinking of Biden.

    Yes, let's ignore the bills that were passed and the mid term election results - let's just look at theoretical polls because it's the only argument you have.

    They should also think of Prog Kelly and Prog Warnock who voted for the debt ceiling bill.

    Or it's always Biden's fault and not the prog senators'?
