Thanks Dems for doing jack shit about abortion bans, trans bans, the cost of living, the drone strikes, global warming, COVID.

Might as well just call them Blue conservatives. The outcome of voting for them is much the same.

Roe v Wade was overturned under the Biden administration, idk if you missed that.

You do understand that this happened because of the supreme court, and not because of Biden, right? And the supreme court was able to do this because of Trump. Could you explain what Biden should have done to protect abortion rights on a federal level?

Surely! Here’s a small and incomplete list of things he could do, at varying levels of usefulness and ease:

An executive order legalizing abortion nationwide

Pack the Supreme Court

Move the Supreme Court justices to lower courts and replacing them

Simply ignore the Supreme Court, as several presidents have done in the past (Andrew Jackson being the most notable)

Get his fucking party in order and pass a law legalizing abortion back when he had the majority in both the house and senate

Open abortion clinics on federal land nationwide, claiming new land to do it on if there’s none available in a needed location

Threaten to drone strike Clarence Thomas

Withhold highway funds from states that ban abortion

An executive order declaring banning abortion a felony, and then arresting every politician who implemented a ban

Call for a general strike until abortion rights are re-established

Personally sanction governors of states that ban abortion, freeze their bank accounts, seize their companies, all the shit we do to foreign leaders we don’t like

Call for people in states that ban abortion to burn down their state capitols

Joe Biden is the President of the United States of America, the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. He’s not a powerless smol bean. If he actually wants something to happen, there’s a long list of ways to go about it. If something does or doesn’t happen under his watch, that is his responsibility.

I've always been saying that if it were two Republicans that had held up every Trump legislative priority, Trump would have been bullying them every day until they acquiesced, but Biden allowed Manchin and Sinema to do exactly that and acted all powerless.

Isn't it odd how the Presidency is only weak when it comes to Democrats passing their own platforms?

Oh my god, can you imagine if it was Ted Cruz and Mitt Romney holding things up? Trump would’ve had them killed if McConnell didn’t do it first. But the republicans don’t have that problem because they actually keep their members on the party line where it matters

so do democrats. what you're seeing is not them failing to keep their party in line. this is their line.
