    So, not codifying RvW as promised, not protecting voter rights, not protecting civil liberties…

    … those aren’t missteps?

    and they still got the deal they wanted in the end

    Is it in the fucking contract? no? Then they got jack shit.

        I’m not the one waiving a magic wand thinking Biden is a perfect candidate.

        You are.

        As I’ve said elsewhere, baring Biden himself stepping down it’s suicide for any one to oppose him. So no I’m not going to enter that fucking argument with someone who can’t even see what’s clearly before them.

        Especially considering I’m guessing you give credit for the American recovery act to Biden even as you’d scramble to insist Biden doesn’t have the power to pass law.

      Conservatives (including Manchin and Sinema) stopped all of that. I hate the Dem party and despise neoliberals (AKA the other conservatives), but conservatives are fully to blame for those specific issues.

        You’re right. They’re fascists doing fascist things.

        So what’s *Biden *done about it? what action has he successfully taken against the erosion of rights americans used to enjoy?

        Don’t sit there and tell me POTUS is totally powerless to do anything. He’s not. we both know he’s not. even with a divided congress half of which is totally obstructionist, Biden is not powerless.
