oh yeah sure. expanding overtime rights, over the counter birth control, getting rid of junk fees, clarifying the vice presidents role in certifying elections as ministerial, funding infrastructure while simultaneously stimulating energy efficiency and renewables, forcing airlines to refund canceled flights, fighting for loan forgiveness extensively as well as to put a stop to non compete clauses. nothing for the working class though as this does not hit specific things I find important so lets just go worse in all possible ways because thats a solid plan.
Courts struck down half of that, only two of those things benefit the working class, and you included something Biden explicitly did not accomplish as an achievement.
I know copium is a hell of a drug and you liberals will be overdosing within a year, but do take queues from California and hide your drug habit.
the courts striking down is exactly why its better to make progress and yes he did still have to work with congress. If in 4 years a dem gets in then 8 years folks will complain that there will be no progress from today but will put a blind eye to having caught back up from the next 4 years of regression. A good example is the biden approved x permit for drilling on lands. lands open to drilling under trump. lands can be protected or taken out of protection but once out the president can't arbitrailly not allow permits.
The president actually can. It's an executive decision.
Biden also opened up lands that Trump didn't, so you really can't use that as an excuse for your far right neoliberal hack.
Its disengenous. They can and the response would be lawsuits because drilling is allowed and they are playing favorites with one particular company. They can if they have some sort of grounds but doing so for no reason is the type of abuse of power trump does. Allowing more drilling actually came out of the climate reduction act and was a compromise to get the good parts passed, because, you guessed it. Republicans.
I wish we could take your comment and put it in a bot every time someone says both sides are the same, not for the working class, etc.
Nobody says they're the same. People do say they're both bad to varying degrees, and are immediately hit in the face with some doofus accusing them of saying they're the same, that happens a lot.
You haven't been around long enough if you think no one says theyre the same. They absolutely do.
Show me an example then
But what have the Romans done for us?
