Did we forget about how Democrats had control of both houses of Congress when Biden was elected, yet still failed to accomplish anything significat?
And Manchin is still head of the energy committee, hes on appropriations and armed services too… If Democrats actually wanted to push back on his obstructionism they would have stripped his committee assignments. They haven’t, making it obvious that they want to keep him around as the current rotating villain.
There are plenty of things he could do and there are plenty of things he could talk about. He’s doing some of the former (union stuff for example), though he could do more, and fuck all (positive) of the latter. We’ll see how it plays out in the actual election but his PR is kinda ass right now.
Can you name some specific things? Genuinely curious what he has the authority to do that wouldn’t be unpopular enough to get Trump elected again? Because if the guy who cares about the rule of law and presidential norms can do anything you can bet your ass the guys who don’t will undo it.
Anything the President of the United States says is broadcast on media everywhere.
He hasn’t fought for anything. He still calls Manchen his good friend, while throwing his hands up and saying there’s nothing he can do?
Biden is basically a Republican
But…. Better than trump I guess? I’m not voting for neoliberals anymore. Nor will I support a president who supports the apartheid government of Israel even as it commits ongoing genocide
You haven’t been paying attention.
Just the fact that the signed a bill to make the gov negotiate drug prices is massive!
Dems have been trying to do that for 30 years…
Remember when he knocked down gas prices conservatives were complaining about?
The list goes on. I don’t even like Biden but your implication is simply wrong here.
Maybe Biden should follow through on any policy that people actually like instead of doing fuck all.
What do you expect him to do without the cooperation of the House, SCOTUS, Sinema and Manchin?

You mean Biden’s good friend? The one who blocked basically all of Biden’s so called agenda.
Biden didn’t want any of his own policy agenda to pass. And it didn’t. But now he’s saying oh I guess there’s nothing that could have been done.

Anything other than throw his hands up and give up. He is right of center politically though so he never will

Like the infrastructure bill that Trump and presidents before him harped on for years and never delivered on?
You mean the corporate infrastructure bill that will privatize more public infrastructure?

I call bullshit.
Most of that small list of drugs were already scheduled to go generic before the bill is put in to effect.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Google it. Lol
