    I guess you are forgetting that Republicans blocked bills in the Senate and after 2022 in house where they got majority. The bills that Biden managed to get through (for example Build Back Better) were illegally destroyed by DOGE by cutting funding.

      After 2025 and 2026 you no longer get to argue that Biden had insufficient power. That simply isn’t true, as evidenced by Donald. Biden’s actions demonstrate that he did not care about his constituents.

      But feel free to lie to yourself. You can’t gaslight me.

        That’s because trump just decided to ignore every law and running he doesn’t like, and Republican controlled House and Senate and Republican controlled SCOTUS allow him to do it.

          So we agree then.

          I don’t care about civility and I’m not going to use it as an excuse for Joe Biden letting his constituents go homeless and starve. I’d think someone who actually cares about the things they say they care about would be willing to fight for it.

            The problem is that if Biden overstepped his authority, he would get barbecued by his own party. Trump does it and they fucking cheer.

              No, he wouldn’t.

              They’d cash in too. And I wouldn’t even mind it if Biden did what he actually promised and Americans weren’t going homeless at lightning speed.

              Or, instead of that, you can remind me how little you care about egg prices. Because, I gotta say, that last presidential campaign where I was repeatedly told ‘it’s not that bad’ was a whole lot of fun to listen to when I had two elderly parents stuck working for DoorDash.
