    “Democrats were stymied for nearly three years because they did not take majority control of the five-member FCC until October.”

    Biden’s first pick got held up in the Senate for a couple years and then replaced in 2023, until that seat was filled nothing was gonna happen.

      No way, everyone knows that Biden can easily change all of the federal government whenever he wants to but just chooses not to because he’s a big meanie and only ever does anything so that he’s just 1% less bad than Trump.

          While true, there was a major, global crisis still going on in 2021. It’s not as though an FCC commissioner pick was the top priority after the Orange Turd screwed everything about Covid up as best as he could. Biden announced in October of '21 and then Congress was slow to confirm his pick.

          Context matters.

          Yeah Biden definitely should have nominated someone earlier, then that person could have been waiting for an even longer time before finally getting confirmation and that would definitely result in something being different.

        You know something gone wrong here when people have come to expect those responses right off the bat. 😄
