    He did everything within his power to do, so if you feel he did “fuck all”, then look to all the other branches that got it shut down.

    Vote in more people who have your interests, don’t blame the person who tried to do something.

        Well wtf are you going to get out of getting mad at someone who very clearly got shut down trying to do something?

            If voting doesn’t work, why are Republicans trying so hard to keep us from doing it?

      He did everything in his power that wasn’t politically risky, but not literally everything.

      I don’t blame him. If he did some of the more risky things that I’ve heard of, I think it would have either resulted in impeachment or civil war lol

          One thing he hasn’t tried is to ignore the Supreme Courts decisions. Republicans are already doing it, so turnabout is fair play.

          Another thing he hasn’t tried is to use the power of his public reach to rally supporters and call them to action. This is something Trump did to great effect, leading to all those MAGA moms invading town halls and school board meetings and getting the GOP agenda pushed through.

          Stuff like that. It’s all way too extreme and would destabilize the country, be he could technically do it.

              We’ll see.

              My point is, Biden doesn’t even try stuff like this; he doesn’t do risky things that might lead to political backlash. He plays it safe and obeys the political norms, and within those limitations does everything he can. I understand his strategy, even if I disagree with it.

                  It was safe because he left himself open to being stopped and he followed all the rules. It’s all within the norms of government. It was a smart political move, too, because it made people hate the illegitimate court even more than they already did.

                  Unsafe would be ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision and just doing it anyway. As the apocryphal quote goes, “The Supreme Court has made it’s decision, now let them enforce it.”
