    I understand this issue is a matter of personal safety for you… but hopefully you can understand why the Biden administration “has done almost nothing”. The way the US government is set up has several branches, where the Presidency under the Executive Branch is just one of them, for most issues he’s done what can be expected of a typical President and more.

    The Legislative Branch has been taken over by the Republican House Circus. That’s where normally laws are supposed to be written. The Judicial Branch Supreme Court’s faults are with Roberts, Trump’s appointees, and ultra-corrupt Thomas. They are interpreting the Constitution and the rules Congress wrote in whatever way fits their oligarch friends’ needs. That’s 2 out of 3 government branches, that aren’t Blue, if they were, Biden would have been able to do a hell of a lot more.

    The only thing imo Biden has no good excuse for, is the series of blank cheques he’s been giving Israel to commit genocide. If that’s your make-or-break, I’m sorry, you have no good options. Your best bet may be to hold your nose.

      That’s actually the point drunk me was trying to make last night. The only thing being talked about in the media is the presidency but we are so truly screwed because the president can’t do anything about it, really. They can issue some executive orders and set policy. Even if Kamala gave a speech on just trans rights, there is nothing she can actually do unless the other two branches have been also claimed by the dems and even then good luck when texas passes a law that gets sued to the supreme court and overturns gay marriage.
