You listed a lot of legislative issues there. What should the executive branch do for those issues? Veto the Inflation Reduction Act? Not enact bills passed by congress?

Do what it does whenever a Republican is in office: bully the holdouts of their own party standing in the way of their agendas. When Trump's legislative agenda was imperilled, he used Twitter to the point where a whole generation of GOP legislators decided not to run for re-election.

Every time Manchin and Sinema held up his agenda in 2021, he should have been hitting the airwaves and social media every day to single them out BY NAME for holding up what he was elected to do.

Executive branch should enforce laws passed by the legislative branch and do what they can to keep us out of more international military conflicts.

The IRA was Biden's baby, it's not that he was silent on the bill then it just happened to cross his desk. The executive should NOT be pushing legislation, the executive branch should NOT be trying to unilaterally pass $1T in debt relief with an executive order and should NOT promote divisiveness.

should NOT promote divisiveness.

Both sides, guys. Am I right?

do what they can to keep us out of more international military conflicts

Hard disagree. The Pax Americana is the best thing to happen to the geopolitical landscape in all of human history.

Between the dogwhistle about wanting to end our support for Ukraine, and complaining about the IRA-- the largest climate change bill passed by any nation in human history-- because it "cost too much", I'm starting to wonder if the guy you're replying to is on the left at all.

EDIT: Just checked their post history, and yep, they're openly a conservative.
