    Which Congress would’ve approved this? The one that couldn’t get the federal minimum wage increased or the one that couldn’t pass a border security bill?

      So you agree that Biden and Dem leadership are unable to govern their party and pass the party platform?

      Biden and Dem leadership were saying it up to a few months ago, so it shouldn’t be hard to admit.

      I’m just not sure why people don’t want to fix that problem while we have a chance, especially since it’ll help beat Trump short term, and fight fascism long term while in office. And a charismatic presidential candidate helps down ballot across the board.

      Don’t you think trump is a serious threat?

        It was longer than a few months ago and they clearly said why they stopped even considering packing the Supreme Court.

        Not only did they not have a congress to pass it, because they’ve never held anywhere close to enough of a super majority to get past fillibuster. But it’s also effectively handing a loaded gun to a second Trump presidency or any Republican presidency to do the same.

          Oh, you’re confused…

          So you agree that Biden and Dem leadership are unable to govern their party and pass the party platform?

          Biden and Dem leadership were saying it up to a few months ago, so it shouldn’t be hard to admit.

          Biden spent most of this term talking about how a president can’t do shit, especially not legislation…

          Then he started taking credit for every piece of legislation
