I appreciate the thoughtful response. However, I think the conservative perspective is to simply ignore the achievements of any Democrats because "achievement" has a positive connotation. Perhaps a way to diffuse partisanship is to call them facts. In his first year, Biden and the Democratic Congress has done the following:
-Pass the largest "rescue" / COVID-19 relief package in history
-Make COVID-19 vaccine available to all Americans 5 years and older.
-Appoint 40 Federal judges (most ever in the first year of a modern Presidency)
-Bipartisan infrastructure bill
It's fair to argue agreement or disagreement with the intent or result of these policies, but don't say that nothing happened because that simply isn't true.
What is unfair- is that those blaming Biden and the Democrats for not bringing us closer to ending the COVID-19 pandemic are almost perfectly correlated with the same people refusing vaccination, vaccine mandates, and mask mandates. It is not Biden's fault that ~1/3 of the population flat out refuses the public health tools available to every American.
Let's make the distinction clear: Republican elites
do have a governing agenda. However, the public will
not be made aware of this governing agenda.
The Republican Party did not have an policy platform in 2020, and
according to Mitch McConnell will likely not have one in 2022. The lack of platform is not a biased left-leaning partisan opinion; it is just a fact.
