President Joe Biden has endorsed a ban on congressional stock trading in an interview that’s being released this week. It's the first time he's publicly backed the idea.
Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.
And here is where I explain to the feigned learned helplessness wing of the party that Democrats, if they had wanted to, could have done away with the filibuster forever with the simple majority we gave them. This could have been passed with a simple majority. You’re making excuses, and I’m not accepting them.
But I also understand that Biden could not single handedly solve that nor was it remotely a high enough priority to burn political capital and fight his own party over it.
Yeah. He can only singlehandedly sell weapons for genocide.
I’m not sure where you got the idea that 1) I didn’t think he was a major enabler of the horrific genocide of the Palestinian people or 2) that it is at all relevant. You’re just flinging shit at the wall and seeing what sticks now to paint me as some evil dem bootlicker because you’re behaving like a petulant child who doesn’t understand how government works. Fuck Biden and fuck Israel for the genocide they are committing. Happy? Is that the slam dunk you were hoping for?
He can’t remove the filibuster. He can’t force legislation on Congress. He can’t executive order that kind of rule for Congress. The democrats and republicans in Congress have to end this practice. This is basic civics. He can vocalize it all he wants but he can’t make them do anything.
If you want to tell me that I don’t know how government works, if you really want to pull that particular bit of hackneyed centrist gaslighting, don’t kick off the party with an excuse that fundamentally ignores how government works.
If you don’t want people to act like you’re carrying water for the Biden administration, don’t make excuses on their behalf that aren’t grounded in reality.
This could have been passed with a simple majority, contrary to your lie. There’s always some fucking excuse for how powerless Biden totally is when it’s something that centrists don’t want to do.
But he’s all powerful when it comes to shit they want more than keeping Trump out of office, which is why I brought up Netanyahu’s genocide. There’s no “we can’t! Here’s an excuse for why and gaslighting when you point out why that excuse holds no water” when it comes to genocide. Biden can just do it!
It’s the one policy that centrists don’t get in their own way and make flimsy excuses about. It’s the one policy that centrists won’t abandon it the first whiff of pushback.
