Seems kind of undemocratic to ignore the demands of the people that voted for you.

He was elected on the pretense that he would cancel student loans, stop covid, fix healthcare, stop the border camps, etc. But he hasn't done any of those things.

Pretty sorry democracy the US has. Some free country should liberate them.

Remember the police oversight commission he promised to establish after George Floyd?

They canned it, saying that they would pass a bill instead. The bill failed, and they promptly gave up on the entire thing.

Then a couple years later, at his State of the Union speech, he literally shouted "FUND THEM! FUND THEM!" with no mention of reform or oversight.

nah he was elected on "there's a dang cheeto in the white house" and "nothing will fundamentally change" he accomplished those on day 1

If i understand things correctly biden cancelled 2.2%, 39 billion, of the 1.7 trillion debt burden, and told the other 97.8% of people he promised relief to to fuck off and die, right?

The last 5 minutes of his term already happened in 2022, right before the dems lost congress.

We gotta follow procedures. Lying to the voting population if part of the procedures. If you don't like it, you can vote for somebody else!

He already did and you've entered a contractual agreement to vote for him by asking this question.

Biden is far too busy being serious and taking his job as President seriously to get around to doing any of that irrelevant shit, like healthcare. Maybe when he retires and has more time.

Guys guys guys, you gotta understand. The only way to push the Dems left is to VOTE for them!

If you vote him again, he'll do all those things. Trust mevote brandon

He was elected after promising that "nothing will fundamentally change". He's doing exactly what he was elected to do.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

When you vote for him!
