I don’t get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They’re not being mature or practical - they’re accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren’t better, but at least he’s telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there’s a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he’s done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it’s just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It’s like they want to lose, because all I’m hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it’s like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It’s just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

    There’s not a lot he can do, there’s no more institutional capacity for anything that can benefit average people. Unless it’s military, the money has to “come from” somewhere. That could be “taxes” but we know how this works by now…

      There is though, he didn’t have to end the eviction moratorium or resume student loans, he could have ordered the military to provide abortions and housing, he could have ordered them to remove the child-drowning device from the Rio Grande.

      The US president has tons of things he can unilaterally do.

        just look at the Republican plan to obliterate trans rights if they take office again - they actually understand what it means to wield power
