    I appreciate the insight, thanks. Seems like a fair assessment and hearkens to frustrations with Biden who, while better than the opposition, is watered-down to the legitimate progressive economic populism that is needed to thwart rising fascist populism we’re seeing everywhere.

      This is exactly it. He’s not outright evil or destructive in the way that the Conservatives are, but he’s too firmly in the “Capitalism is the answer” camp to be able to offer meaningful solutions to our out of control cost of living crisis. As a result people keep getting poorer, and they turn to ideologues to fix their problems.
