Didn't stop Trump from enacting the policies he wanted to enact, even when his own party tried to stop him. Turns out no, the president has a million tools at their disposal they can use at any time with no consequence. Just like when the Biden bypassed congress to send additional weapons to Israel.
Why are you coming at me, instead of the person who has the power, right now, today, to stop giving Israel the bombs they are using to commit genocide and earn the vote of everyone who doesn't want the genocide to resume?
How can you even believe we have a democracy to end if you're arguing that the best choice is a guy actively facilitating genocide? I cannot conceive of a scenario where it is more obvious that the people have no meaningful influence.
I don't know anyone who got student loan money. He could have just wiped all the debt, instead he did it in some bullshit means-tested way knowing the SCOTUS and republicans would cut away at every step.
He broke a strike for train company so profitable they could afford to double their workforce, and give them half the year off, and still afford to give Warren Buffet a billion dollars every year.
It doesn't matter if he gets pom poms and does somersaults while yelling pro-union cheers if he breaks strikes and signals to every company which side he is on.
