    I don’t mean to be an ass regarding these because a lot of them are really nice but, none of them aside from the broadband expansion and maybe the funding for election transition/process really seem to help the current day millennial or Gen Z, the closest might be his environmental policies, I feel he should start focusing on thr younger groups if he wants to keep regained support for the newer gens.

    That being said I did learn quite a bit from this article because I wasn’t aware he did most of what was listed here so it is cool

      I feel like these should all establish a trajectory that very well aligns with the countries younger generation:

      • Over the counter birth control
      • Office of gun violence prevention
      • Financial fee crackdown
      • Inflation reduction act
      • Assistance to smaller food producers
      • Consequences to colleges drowning students in debt
      • Chips and sciences act
      • Access to medication without in person visits, including anti depressants, gender affirming care, and opioid addiction
      • worker protections for union busting

      I’m not a blowhard but I think this country could be in a really great place if this kind of progressive push continues with another Biden administration that would hopefully open the gates for an even more progressive eight years with his successor. The continued snuffing out of regressive views and bolstering a growing progressive shift in this country is exciting to think about. As much as I would like faster progress, and I admittedly voted for Biden as a vote against trump last cycle, I will be voting for him again because he’s exceeded my expectations. He’s laying a foundation this countries youth can build on and run away with. It’s not perfect but neither is this country. The aperture is opening up though.
