    Don’t forget the last 4 years of failing to deliver any meaningful improvements for the people who voted in 2020 or even stopping republicans from banning abortion. Also a year and a half of facilitating genocide while encouraging universities to beat the shit out of the very same politically-active students who would otherwise be campaigning for the democrats.

      What were they supposed to do without enough votes to pass policy? That doesn’t excuse them from not taking the gloves off and being very vocal about the roadblocks.

      Gaza, while an issue is not moving the needle for the majority of voters.

        Use executive orders. Instead of asking the SCOTUS to tell texas to remove the child drowning fence across the rio, and look like you don’t actually want it gone, send in a tank to tear it out. The commander in chief can just do that. They can also order military hospitals to provide women with reproductive healthcare.

        Did you not remember the Trump administration, where he’d try something new every week, and even if it did get shut down, getting told “no” after you’ve already accomplished what you wanted is better than not trying at all.

        Appoint a head of the DoJ that would throw Trump in prison and investigate Manchin’s family.

        Appoint a head of the DEA who would actually reschedule cannabis. You don’t need congress for these things.

          This is instance-based hate speech, a direct violation of rule 6.

            Please define “hate speech,” because you’re suggesting that your incapability of nuance is an immutable aspect of your character… Just saying.
