    Why, what happened with the minimum wage hike? Why do you say that firing the parliamentarian would have led to it passing?

    You are taking Democrats at their word when they say they are powerless. I don’t do that.

    Did you miss the part up above where I specifically said that I agree with your assessment, as applied to most of the Democrats (the Nancy Pelosi brand)?

      The parliamentarian could have been replaced with one that would have accepted that the minimum wage could be raised via reconciliation.

      I didn’t miss the bit where you acted like Biden has done all he can do about cannabis.

        Sorry, I am done with this conversation. You can scroll back up and see multiple times where I say it seems to me that criticism of Biden / Democrats on aspects of this issue seems legit (or possibly legit) to me. If you are so eager to argue that you’re just going to tell me I “acted like” I believe something I’m saying the opposite of, just so you can keep on having an argument about it, I am even less interested in that than I was uninterested before.

          what Biden could possibly have done aside from pardoning all federal convictions for possession, requesting the DEA to reschedule marijuana, and introducing a bill for full federal legalization

          This is you acting like Biden has done everything he can, like I said. You keep reinforcing my decision to never expect honesty from you.

            Bro who fuckin hurt you and made you expect that people go on the internet and just lie about what they believe as a fakeout to trick other people on the internet

            In the very next sentence, after I quoted myself saying that from some time ago, I said:

            (I actually learned since then that it’s a little more complex – it actually seems like maybe Biden was opposed to the full legalization bill that Schumer was pushing, and there was definitely some level of Democratic opposition in the senate. So maybe that piece of the criticism is legit, IDK

            I am not lying. I am not maliciously misrepresenting what I believe. I am not deliberately trying to engage in a conversation from a point of view other than the one I actually hold. I 100% honestly do not know why you think a person would do that, or how common it is on the internet, but it is not what I am doing for any reason whatsoever.

            I don’t see the point of talking if you’re going to tell me what I believe, and then why the imaginary viewpoint you’ve assigned to me is wrong. I don’t need to be involved for that process to take place.

              Decades of being lied to by my own party followed by years of being called everything from a fascist to a tankie for daring to be less than enthusiastic about it.
