Just because you didn't like their promises doesn't mean they weren't making them. It is totally dishonest to say that politicians aren't at least saying they will do things that they think will improve people's lives. That's how they get elected. They promise to protect immigrants, they promise to fight climate change, they promise to protect women and LGBTQ, they promise to end wars, they promise to wipe student debt, etc

They might not promise it in a coherent way, with any plan for how to make it happen or explanation for how it would work, but you are really going to sit here and say they don't promise things?
