    Blame congress for 99% of that. The president doesn’t have as much power as people seem to think they do.

      Trump’s going to make this a dictatorship if he’s president

      Biden can’t do anything slightly meaningful because the presidency doesn’t have as much power as people thing it does.

      I know this will get downvoted to hell, but jesus the hypocrisy of these sort of statements blows my mind.

        It’s not hypocrisy. Republicans first tried to overthrow the government in the 1930s. They’ve aimed at ending democracy for a century at least. The reason Trump can do it has nothing to do with presidential powers. And everything to do with fascists in Congress. Who would support it.

        That you think it’s some sort of failing of Democrats or Biden. Just speaks to a completed lack of understanding, and no desire to engage with reality. That’s why you’ll be down voted.

          It’s rich for you to evaluate my desire to engage with reality from a person who’s trying to defend a party that produces 80 year old candidates from the primaries and then wondering why young people won’t vote. Historians are going to have a field day dissecting your delusions.

            I’m not defending them. I criticize them often. What I am doing, is commenting on your childish behavior.

            I know why young people don’t vote. Especially those that have been radicalized like yourself. With no strategic/critical thinking skills. Ain’t none of em good.

              Bulllllllshit. I can tell from your comment lecturing young people and leftists is where all your focus is.

              Take that energy to moderate voters electing procorporate trash in the primaries. Those are the people who lack strategy.

                Lol, I’m a Dejacque Libertarian/anarchist. They aren’t going to listen to me either. Do you are more than welcome to keep proving my points. And acting the victim pretending that it’s all because you’re somehow so much more left than anyone else LOL. That sort of rhetoric is only a victim of itself.

                  I mean, you can call yourself whatever you want bud. But if you only spend your time lecturing young people and leftists about strategy you’re indistinguishable from another moderate democrat voter electing pro-corporate trash in every election.

                    If you think having strategy makes you a moderate. That’s a you problem. And one I’m glad not to have. Everyone needs strategy if they want to get something accomplished. And you’ll learn that someday.

        The difference is that Biden is following the rules of office, while Trump has said he’s going to blatantly disregard them.
