Fair enoubh,I'll concede "Expanded" instead of "Maintained" for the NSA. Re: SVB, I still think its important that the main customers for the bank were companies and not individuals. Particularly that they were evil silicon valley companies. I was rooting for them to go bust for their arrogance and they got bailed out regardless. Better than also bailing out the bank's investors too so it could have been worse. Re: TPP, I believe you that there's more to it. The hubub I heard about it at the time was mostly on the IP stuff and the power it gave to companies over countries. I guess the point I stand behind is that he had eight years and accomplished one very compromised insurance bill and not a ton else. Yes, Obama could have done more with a better congress, and maybe Biden could have passed BBB with one too. But in general the goal of the Democratic Party seems to be either ignoring or working directly against most agendas I have: - Ending the police state - Stopping the genocide in Gaza - Getting money out of politics - Reigning in corporations dramatically - An end to oil - Equal rights for all - An end to billionaires And imo. Obama accomplished very little of that, and didn't even call for half of it. Neither did Biden. And while both of them seem to have most of the same agenda as Reagan (free trade, low corporate taxes, no worker protection, trickle down economics, messing with other countries via monetary theory) they're at least a step above the rest of Dem leadership which I consider entirety hostile. I don't believe Obama would have ended the filibuster or stacked the courts even if given the chance. He never called for it.
