Trump met with pharma lobbyists and nixed his promise to have Medicare negotiate drug prices.

Biden just announced Medicare would negotiate drug prices on ten popular drugs used by millions of seniors.

The first is empty talk. The second is bold action.

It is action this is true, but 10 drugs is hardly bold action. Standards are really quite low of this is bold. Hold them accountable for real change, all drugs should be covered 100% anything less is unacceptable.

Yeah, since progress is so slow we should just let the Republicans back in charge by criticizing the progress Democrats have been able to eke out despite so many Americans not caring enough to bother voting. I see your point.

"Yes, this is good, but I don't think it could be considered bold."

"Oh, so you want the fascists to win?"

Inventing enemies like this is doing much more harm than what you're imagining that @PhilGopon is doing.
