Okay, just going to skip over the first part and all the insults and projection. Let's talk policy.

Lena Khan already won substantial wins against tech monopolies.

I couldn't find any evidence of this. I guess at least she tried to stop the Activision Microsoft merger?

Biden succeeded on limiting overdraft payments to $5

Sure, nice little policy win, doesn't even come close to touching the structural issues.

empowered unions, increased spending on enforcing labor laws

Yes, labor power is maybe the only hopeful thing going on in this country right now. Remember when Trump used the power of the federal government to forcefully break a rail strike? Oh wait that was actually Biden

Have you heard of the ACA?

I'm so exceptionally glad you brought this up, it's a perfect example. Which powerful interest in the healthcare industry lost power and money from this bill? All I see in an endless expanse of subsidies that prop up the existing system. If there was a public option included in the bill you might have a leg to stand on but we all know how that went.

I'm sure that's still not "substantial" enough for you.

Well yes, I'm not going to be very impressed with policies that just reinforce existing power structures, or do the right thing directionally but by a tiny amount, easily reversed.

And just like Trump, you're accusation is an admission.

What exactly is my accusation in your view?

Cool so pretty much what I said would happen. And I'm sure you can figure that last one out if you read just one more sentence. Eat shit tankie I've already given far more attention than you deserve

There's not really any meat in this comment to respond to. It sounds like you have tired of discussing policy
