    Other promises can get stalled even if it’s within the president’s authority, like Biden’s student debt relief was stalled by the Supreme Court.

    I think the student relief is a good example of his team making an effort to keep the promise, rather than marijuana where they’re barely trying.

    When bidens relief was blocked, they immediately went back to the drawing board and started pushing alternative relief seriously.

    He could be doing so much more for marijuana if he wanted to. Maybe he’s saving it for right before the election which is terrible if so as there are lots of people being prosecuted and losing jobs today. Holding it for an election bump would further show his lack of sincerity in the promise or goal.

    “Terrified”? Well, yes anyone obviously would be with creeping fascism on the line.

    So is it easily going to be defeated, or is it a close battle? You keep flip floppng to whichever is convenient.

    This is a hallmark of fascism by the way, characterization of opponents as simultaneously both weak and powerful.


  • There is no hope for fascist authoritarians of the Republican spectrum

    Cool, then there’s nothing to worry about if I am what you erroneously claim?

    Why are you so threatened by an opposing view if that opposition has no hope?

    You’re terrified and resorting to attacking and othering anyone who doesn’t fall in line 100%, even if they’re part of your same party.


  • I’m not only invested in one side winning, I’m invested in how we can move forward together.

    You seem hell bent on “othering” people, this has led to terrible outcomes consistently through history.

    Quit editing your posts to seem more reasonable. If you want to say something say it with your chest.


  • Biden couldn’t have predicted those bridges to be blown up because it was quite possibly people would make the sensible choice and not put these demolitionists back in Congress.

    If he ignored the entire history of the party and voting base. Why is it not his own fault for being able to understand that water is wet?


  • Nice stealth edit, because you realize what you say is ridiculous.

    You’re borderline obsessed with a boogie man. Take some personal accountability.

    If you want to use your example that’d be like knowing those bridges were scheduled for demolition, and still promising to drive over them the next day anyway.


  • If I promise something and someone blocks me from viably pursuing it, that’s not on me, that’s on them: Republicans.

    If I promise my kid a trip to their favorite amusement park and then don’t get the big bonus I expected from work to afford it, it’s not my jobs fault the kid didn’t go to the park. It’s my fault for making a promise and not finding a way to follow through.
