Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I'm saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.
Every time one of the "usual suspects" says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they're saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same "usual suspect" accounts.
What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you'd think they'd appreciate him doing what they've been so helpfully suggesting. Unless....it was never about the issues at all.
That thin veneer of concern they're hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.
Edit: Please don't name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the "usual suspects" are.
Always have to include the caveat "he's trying" to make it not a lie lol.
Neoliberals are great at trying real real hard and never getting there. Kind of like how he "tried" to convince Netanyahu to stop committing genocide and then ended up sending him billions in aid.
Nah, I'm done voting for anyone taking AIPAC money. I'll submit a blank ballot before I vote for any of those pieces of shit.
You could just say you don't understand how federal laws are passed in the United States and I'm sure someone would you the ELI5.
This video is a pretty great introduction to how laws are passed.
Once you understand that hopefully you'll understand why Joe Biden can't just do all the things he'd like to.
Dang that's some irony right there. Imagine lecturing soneone on how laws are passed and not even knowing what a veto is. And trying to be condescending on top of that.
The president has powers to veto laws and also, as commander in chief he has power to delay or direct aid even when congress goes around him.
Presidents have witheld munitions and aid in the past, this isn't a question.
Lol, bazinga, you nailed me. Good job comrade, another lib owned!
Yes. The president could be doing more. No one said he can unilaterally solve the entire issue, only that he's not doing even the bare minimum. "Stern phones calls" are not enough.
It appears you've already downvoted yourself so that saves me a bit of time, ty.
