The child poverty rate more than doubled in 2022 as Covid-era aid programs expired, erasing major economic gains for the poorest Americans.

    I mean after a certain point, isn’t inaction just complicity?

        what about

        Not relevant. All I said is that Biden isn’t doing enough

          That’s not what you said though. You literally said Joe Biden was complicit. Which requires intent.

            If you watch a child getting beat up by an adult and you choose not to intervene even though you have every right to do so, does that inaction not show complicity with the situation?

            Joe Biden has every legal right to do more, and every day makes an active decision not to. That shows complicity through inaction.

              If you attempt to intervene and a police officer subdues you and puts you in handcuffs and sits you down, are you complicit?

              Biden is not a dictator. He cannot unilaterally wave his magic wand and turn the US into a socialist paradise. That’s not how government works.

                Completely irrelevant. Answer my question without making weird extrapolation "what about"s.

                Biden is not a dictator

                Trump set so many legal precedents for what a EO could do. Biden has the full right to do more, but chooses not to. That’s my entire argument.

                See my comment above about Democrats insisting on playing by the rules when the other team is openly bragging about cheating. You Biden dick riders who don’t demand more from the Democratic Party will be the reason we end up killed by the Repiblicans who aren’t afraid to take radical action. You’re either a Conservative yourself or just dumb if you can’t see how dire things are in America right now.

                  No, he doesn’t, and neither did Trump. God willing, Trump will go to jail for the shit he did.

                  You dumb teenagers who don’t know what a primary is will be (already are in many respects) the downfall of America.
