I’ll second this question. I’ve seen a bunch of “hasn’t done enough” but it hasn’t been followed up with what that is. OP could you please share the solutions Biden has at his disposal that aren’t being executed?

I ask this as someone who is ignorant of those, not trying to argue.

Crickets lol

The few times these fuckers bother to answer it's always some vague "pressure the legislature" or "make a speech" or some other shit he's already doing.

"If he just says mean words about them they'll come around! So will Republicans! He just needs to loudly criticize him!"

"But he's done that"

"HE'S NOT SAYING THE RIGHT MAGIC WORDS"

It's quite interesting how it always comes down to this argument, that Biden just needs to be mean to Manchin and Sinema and then they'll do everything that Biden says. Some extend the same logic to Republicans, which is just hilariously laughable.

Sorry I was out late last night got the start of Pride month.

Employment protections, housing protections, parental protections for adoption, enhance the hate crime bills, mental health access. Those are a start. Also needs universal healthcare, guaranteed housing, and other basic human rights.

Could you explain what specific actions Biden could take to achieve these without needing Congress?

You're right. Joe Biden can't do anything whatsoever. The end.
