What do you expect him to do without the cooperation of the House, SCOTUS, Sinema and Manchin?

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.

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.

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

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
