Biden’s focus on the economy is good, but we need to see more action on income inequality and climate change if we want real progress. I’m glad he's addressing the Middle East crisis, but the U.S. has to push harder for diplomacy and peace rather than just military solutions. As for the election, we need to protect voting rights and prevent any attempts at voter suppression, especially with Trump looming.
Biden acting like the government can just "manage" the economy and solve conflicts in the Middle East is exactly the problem. Maybe if the government stopped meddling in everything, we'd have fewer crises to begin with.
