we have several lifetimes worth of policies to change to fix the mess we are in. this is exactly what Biden should be doing, passing policy after policy in the next few months that have obvious positive results for the common voter. he's not gonna run out of stuff to do if he's re-elected, so he needs to stop holding onto this shit like it's his last wild card of all time.

But that might upset his owners, I mean campaign contributors.

He's not a dictator. Most of those would never pass in the Senate.

It's not about that. It's about building momentum for the idea. If it passes great, if not then it's out there. People know it's possible and it will never stop haunting the elites who the government actually serves.

If only someone had given him the power to be a dictator!

Guess he just fuckin loses and the next guy does it anyways.
