6 months to the election and people are bending over backwards to defend Biden when we should be demanding more from him in return for our votes. Makes no sense.
And how is he going to do more, with the voting blocs in both houses of Congress as they stand right now?
And with the Supreme Court as it stands, right now?
He’s not a king. We don’t WANT him to be a king. But so many of us demand that he just “finds a way,” to do whatever it is that we want as a voter bribe, this week.
PLEASE STOP MAKING PRESIDENTS FIND MORE AND MORE WAYS TO EXPAND THE POWER OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, THROUGH EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
Every time a Democrat stretches executive powers to forgive student loans or semi-pseudo-almost-legalize pot, it sets more precedent for Presidents to almost be able to legislate by fiat.
We don’t want MAGA Party presidents to have those powers in the future. Why do I have to spell that shit out, to other adults?
EDIT: You know what’s scary? I can’t even remember the list of executive power usages that made me mad about this problem, the last time I thought about it. It’s all been normalized. All I remember is the most recent ones. If you gave me a list of changes in official, binding US policy from the last twelve years, and asked me to correctly label them with “this change resulted from legislation” and “this change resulted from an executive order,” I guarantee I couldn’t do better than a monkey guessing randomly.
That’s how you get a grotesquely inflated set of executive powers. Stop encouraging that shit. If the Democrats don’t win enough seats to enact legislation that you want, BE AN ADULT AND ACCEPT THAT SHIT. Stop throwing tantrums and threatening to vote for them even less, if they refuse to literally hack the system to give you some shit that you want.
We don’t want the system to be hacked. We want democracy.
