    He can propose laws to the legislative bramch. He might not be able to pass it himself but he could push and advocate for it

        Oh what does it hurt then?

        Can’t say anything, because of the GOP.

        Super cool having a democrat president who’s got no balls. Can’t offend the house.

          What does it hurt? Political capital, for one.

          Also, you don’t just say, “let’s make a law about X”, and a 3,000 page bill just appears in front of you. That shit takes TONS of work. Biden can’t just materialize a workable plan that both parties (in this political climate? lol) will ever agree on.

          That just isn’t how this country works. If you want this to change, Congress has to change it.

            I love how “political capital” is the neolibs go-to excuse for why the working class can’t be helped. Yet there’s a never ending amount of “political capital” I help giant corporations make more money. Fucking tools

              What? Do you think I like that political capital is a thing? It’s fucking gross. I am just acknowledging reality. What do you think the President actually does in the US?

              Like, do you even realize that you’re advocating for authoritarianism? Or is it OK, as long as it’s the person doing the things you want? And we all know situations like that are super sustainable…

              “The president of the United States cannot unilaterally implement price controls on goods without the involvement of Congress. Price controls typically involve changes to laws and regulations, which fall under the legislative branch’s authority. Congress would need to pass legislation granting such powers or specifically authorizing the president to implement price controls in certain circumstances.”

              I hope you direct all that useless anger you have here on the internet for voting time, then.

              We just had local elections here nationally in the U.S., whom did you place your vote for to solve this issue?
