Can't count the number of campaign promises Biden has scrapped or ignored. I guess that doesn't matter to some people, being sort of just business as usual for politicians.

But is it, really?

Biden's polling among Democrats has tanked, and his numbers aren't improving. I wonder, has anyone thought to ask if part of that is because Democrats resent all the broken or ignored promises?

I suspect one of the reasons Trump supporters are so fiercely loyal is that, say what you will, Trump either delivered what he said he'd deliver or went down fighting tooth and nail.

I think your average Democratic voter yearns for that kind of leadership in the Oval Office. We get apathetic because it never LOOKS like anyone is fighting tooth and nail for the things we care about.

Where is that Democratic politician who will inspire voters, make bold promises, and then fight like hell to keep them? I wish I knew. I'd back them 1,000 percent.
