Opinion pieces are cool, but have you seen any politicians in positions of power advance debate? What’s the Biden administration’s agenda for men?

- happytoexplain 3y agoFirst, a president's administration is not "the left" or "the right". In fact, it's frequently just "the lesser of two evils", as we so often hear from the voters, depending on the particular policy topic. Second, an administration not having "an agenda" for an issue as intractable/abstract as mental health is not a sign that they don't genuinely care. That said, I certainly agree that the president - in fact, all presidents, left or right - have paid no more than lip service to men's societal struggles, image issues, mental health, etc, but that is clearly not the driving thesis in this thread.
