He’s done what he could with the Republicans fighting him every step of the way. Better to spend this last month doing what he can to Trump-proof stuff.
I read that withdrawing the student loans was actually one of the things. If he hadn’t Trump could have used the years long progress to implement his own policies. Now he would have to restart the process over again to make any changes.
He just appointed a bunch of federal judges this week.
He has also just made a new international climate agreement. It can probably be thrown out but it’s another thing that would cause a delay. Nothing is going to make anything Trump proof since he controls 3 branches of government and is immune to crimes. It’s all stall tactics.
Biden is terrible at marketing the stuff he does. He doesn’t do enough and the things he does actually do just gets pushed through without any press. He also publicly shows no fight when things are blocked so it looks like he never even attempted. Still runs things like an old time senator expecting nonbiased journalists to spread the word for him.
Right right. That’s why he needed to start doing things 3.9 years ago instead of screwing around for so long. What a failure. Or a success, depending on your perspective.
Biden had the same challenges Obama did when Obama had his terms. Republicans got in the way. But Obama was still dealing with moderate and crazy but tamed Republicans who still sided with Bush at the time and propped McCain and Romney to oppose him.
Biden was going up against a more insane breed of Republicans who’ve gotten a nice dosage of the first 4 years with Trump, who’ve turned the country upside down and all around. Everything was going to be an uphill battle moreso than Obama’s struggle was.
Have you been living under a rock for 4 years? The fuck you mean he spent 3.9 years screwing around on this, you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. This is one of the things Biden pursued hardest in the face of ridiculous opposition. It went to the Supreme Court. Like two years ago.
I don’t know what the deal is with pulling this program now (although someone else said it was actually a way to block Trump from doing something worse), but he literally spent all four years trying to get through student loan forgiveness. His major plan was blocked by SCOTUS and he’s been blocked by other judges every step of the way.
And the fact that you don’t know that speaks much more about you than it does about him.
I have no love for Biden. I keep saying I hate that he’s been one of the best presidents of my nearly 50-year lifetime because that just shows the low the bar is. But he still did clear that bar on occasion and trying to do student loan forgiveness is one of them.
He can’t just make commands from on high and they get implemented, no questions asked. As Paddzr suggested, this is part of the reason why Trump won. People think the president is a dictator, which is why they elected a man promising to be a dictator.
I’m not so certain he was genuine in wanting to get that done, or at least to the extent. He’s one of the reasons student debt is so hard to discharge, and played a role in manufacturing the current crisis.
That’s not what I said. I said I’m not convinced how genuine he was in wanting to get it done. You can still do something you don’t genuinely want to do; that’s what half-assing something looks like.
He’s done what he could with the Republicans fighting him every step of the way. Better to spend this last month doing what he can to Trump-proof stuff.
I dont think he was doing what he could. He could have done a lot more.
Okay, so what is he doing to Trump proof stuff?
He could use his “official acts” granted by the Supreme Circus to rid us once and for all of this turbulent turd. But he won’t.
Motherfucker said “Nothing will fundamentally change”

He was literally doing it. I’m not sure how much more “genuine” you can be.
That’s not what I said. I said I’m not convinced how genuine he was in wanting to get it done. You can still do something you don’t genuinely want to do; that’s what half-assing something looks like.
And this is why Trump won. Because people like YOU. Just because YOU didn’t pay attention for 4 years, doesn’t mean he sat on his ass doing nothing.
I hope reality hits you like a truck now.
ugh i wish
