    Research constantly points to things getting worse, especially for younger generations. At best you could say the rate of decline has slowed somewhat recently.

    And it’s unfair to blame it on the pandemic, the trends been going on for much longer.

        It’s not his fault it happened, it’s his fault he’s not doing enough to fix it. He campaigned on the status quo, yet the status quo is the problem.

        Fundamental change needs to happen.

          He’s not magic. He can’t actually wave a wand and do anything. He’s gotta get congress on board for anything meaningful that can’t be undone the second someone else sits in the chair. Incremental change sucks, but acting like he’s been doing nothing is dumb. That’s not to say he hasn’t done bad things (looks at Israel), but painting him as inept is disingenuous at best.

          Explain what changes can happen with Republicans in charge of the House.

            I like how you can’t imagine a leader actually wanting change.

            We could deschedule cannabi-- oh who am I kidding? We can support Netanyahu’s genocide even harder.

            Trump sure seemed to change a lot with a divided Congress… Biden isn’t doing it because he doesn’t want to. But because he can’t.
