    The Trump Supreme court has intervened to shut down any meaningful progressive initiatives (see student loan forgiveness, for example).

      I think Biden fumbled that himself. Along with the BBB, increasing the defense budget, the CHIPS act and the way he treated the UAW. On top of that his appointments Yellen and Powell are in an outright war with American Workers, he pushed to block the rail strike and he’s supplying weapons to Israel.

      That’s plenty of opportunities I can think of where Biden could have done something different. I’m open to other ideas as well. But if you’re just trying to tell me Biden couldn’t do anything different than he has that’s a terrible sales pitch for someone you want me to vote for in the 2024 general. I’ll be there but I’m gonna be voting 3rd party or a write in.

        you don’t seem to think much of your own and no one is trying to convince you of anything. sounds like you want a president who intervenes beyond the scope of his power. which you’ll have under Trump. people get the leaders they deserve

          Biden had the power to not get involved with the rail strike. He had the power to veto the legislation which blocked the rail strike. He has the ability to stop sending weapons to Israel.

          Indeed. That includes moderates who refused to compromise with leftists and progressives.
