The day a neoliberal actually follows through on their working class election promises is the day that pigs fly. They just tell us this stuff because they know it's what we want to hear and will get them elected. After the election, 'priorities' always change and they'll suddenly be telling us why they absolutely have to give a bailout to some company like Comcast because it's best for America. I have a bit more optimism from someone like her than Biden, but I have no faith in the party or it's leadership.
Go back to mother Russia. Just off the top of my head with 30 seconds of thinking about it and no research:
Obama: Implemented "Obamacare" allowing millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions to get affordable healthcare for the first time.
Biden: Limits on predatory interest rates across the board. Limited Insulin prices.
Both of them have actively gone after people and businesses ripping of medicare which universally helps the working class through better care and lower taxes.
But sure, they've done NOTHING for the working class.

Exactly my pain points!
Smack childcare on there and I think it covers what most all of working people need relief from.

You mean rather than tax cuts that are supposedly to benefit people too poor to pay taxes?
I was literally talking about housing costs with my wife on our walk back from the grocery store not 30m before stumbling across this post.
First article I’ve seen where her photo wasn’t a big smile. At least since Biden dropped out.
