    Do you understand how Congress functions? Do you think they’re fucking dukes and duchesses or some shit?

      You apparently don’t understand the difference between being a dictator and actually getting off your ass to stir up support for something.

      stop acting like biden is powerless because one body of congress is in republican hands. biden is not powerless. If Biden is so powerless to get shit done in congress, how is it he claims credit for the American Recovery Act and the other big ones early term? that’s right. He did some lifting for it. (he was, however, far from the only person, and a lot of people did a lot of heavy lifting to get that done.)

        Have you seen the Republican Congress?

        Trying to get anything through them is like preschoolers playing Red Rover against the New England Patriots.

        I’m not saying they don’t try. It’s important to try, as long as they immediately call out the opposition at any and every opportunity. And loud. But if it comes from a D, fat chance actually getting it passed.
