OH MY GOD. I feel like we’re on repeat. Obama did the same thing. Campaign on getting rid of most of terrible policies Bush did, and basically kept most of it in place.

[aalvarez]

Mandatory minimums on drugs for everyone but his own family, right? Just like gun laws, so I guess he’s consistent in that regard at last..

[timslocombe]

Saagar, you know for a fact they won't even consider resettling any refugees near the nice D.C suburbs with those 'Welcome' signs

[mdnacht]

At what point does Krystal stop saying she doesn’t want to draw a false equivalency between Biden and Trump when describing their similarities. After she says it a thousand times, is the equivalency false?

[idacookies]

The words right and left don't mean anything anymore.

[mistert]

“Nothing is going to fundamentally change”-Biden

[petelarosa]

I am sick of both of the major political parties and that includes both Republicans and Democrats. I feel that they both represent the rich elite, that rolls over us. Not too long ago I joined the American solidarity party, and I enjoying others joining the party. God bless you. Peter the Christian Patriot

[jvdspuy]

If you talking moderate Republican then he's the BEST MAN for the job. lol

[WatThaDeuce]

Krystal clearly thinks that she knows what a voter such as myself wants in a right-wing populist politician, but she's dead wrong.

[LostInTheMovies]

About halfway through and wondering what Saagar's gonna look like when they cut to the wide shot

Blue MAGA until Jan 20, 2021: "TrUmP iS tHe WoRsT"

Blue MAGA when Biden continues Trump's policies: (crickets)

[Marxone]

I wonder how much of the infrastructure money will be eaten by consultants without actually building anything. 50%? 70%?

[snecilia]

I seriously hope this is a thought experiment at most and not Krystal's legitimate opinion

[billykuan]

So he's using some type of social justice smoke screen to continue the work of the monopolies and oligarch. It has worked the past 30 years.

[glacial_chinchilla]

ahh Biden, the president both sides can hate equally. Now that is UNITY!

[Marcus_Wulfhart]

Lol, "Biden doesn't do everything I want him to do so he's a right wing populist."

Krystal is so boring and annoying

[AVGPVP]

This is one of my favorite games! If only we can make it a little more official and put it on network TV. Should be a good watch.

[farmingganja]

To be right-wing populist, Biden would have to be a populist.

[dwmccall]

He’s Obama 2.0, you fought to get both in office. Leave the right out of this

[terryhamilton.]

Krystals justification for Biden is ridiculous
