Andrea Singmaster is thankful for President Joe Biden. He helped secure funding to clean up a contaminated site in her Philadelphia suburb and his efforts to crack down on Medicare drug prices will help family members financially manage arthritis and Crohn's disease.
No, it’s not slower, it’s actively progressing the wrong direction. And having a president that’s happy to stall progress is tantamount to giving the GOP what they want next cycle.
I’m tired of ‘Democrats’ pussyfutting around for 4-8 years only to watch what little they accomplished undone immediately, and the GOP making massive gains towards a fascist agenda no one wants.
Give me a candidate with teeth or yes, watch it all burn down. Get the horror show over with. Anything less than relentless progress is a win for the party that’s willing to fight dirty for their bullshit agenda.
Really. This is the wrong direction?
What color is the sky on your world? It’s usually blue on mine.
How much of that is executive order that can be undone day one for the next president?
How much of that is wrapped up in a single spending bill?
How much of that is limited in scope when we need large scale change? Protecting a forest with an EO is peanuts on the scale of action we actually need
Fine. You show us how it’s done. Tell us how we pass good legislation in light of a hostile House of Representatives.
Go on. We’ll wait.
How did Johnson do it?
If they wanted things to change, things would change. Nothing is moving because frankly they don’t want it to. They’re comfortable with the status quo and won’t finance candidates with actual liberal agendas. And they actively finance fucking psychopaths to make their own candidates look better
The house is one of their own making.
Bullshit. This House is the one Republicans built, when they threw aside all norms and decided to be open about their power grabs. They telegraphed it in the late 2000s, and now it’s become their new normal. Johnson was able to compromise with Republicans because back then Republicans were largely irrelevant and still followed the rules instead of making up bullshit precedents. They were still interested in governing.
So go on, tell me how you deal with modern politics when the other side isn’t willing to negotiate in good faith. Be honest about the world we live in.
