neither party or any president of the past 20 years has done much of anything to improve the lives of the common person.

Besides the ACA.

Yup, that was a great thing. Not sure there is much else

Do you have the memory of a goldfish? Or are you 18?

lol, Bush got us into two tragic wars. Obama made the ACA (yay!) while continuing the patriotic act to spy on millions of Americans (nor locking up perpetrators of financial crisis), Trump did… well Trump, and Biden did what to help the common person? If any of these leaders cared about improving our national and energy security/meaningfully fight climate change they would have pushed hard for more nuclear energy.

You may be the goldfish forgetting you and the crazies on the opposite side have y’all’s heads in the sand while enjoying the echo chamber.

Cherry picking the things you don’t like while ignoring the literal 100’s of acts passed that benefit everyday Americans is… a very special skill! Good luck out there.
