I mean, he promised a lot. I also think he will have issues with some of his objectives, like the city run stores. He just didn’t promise to fix everything on day one.

I actually really loved his quote of like “not expecting excellence from the government is a failure of your own imagination” since usually the idea is “you’re a failure if the government has to bail you out”

But now the idea is, you’re a failure if you expect the government not to support the people- you need to demand more.
