President Joe Biden has endorsed a ban on congressional stock trading in an interview that’s being released this week. It's the first time he's publicly backed the idea.
Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.
He’s talking about this now because he doesn’t have morals. If he gave a damn he’d have pushed and passed this within his first year. This is just him trying to get some headlines before he happily steps aside for the fascist to come in and reverse it.
And here is where I explain to the feigned learned helplessness wing of the party that Democrats, if they had wanted to, could have done away with the filibuster forever with the simple majority we gave them. This could have been passed with a simple majority. You’re making excuses, and I’m not accepting them.
But I also understand that Biden could not single handedly solve that nor was it remotely a high enough priority to burn political capital and fight his own party over it.
Yeah. He can only singlehandedly sell weapons for genocide.
If you want to tell me that I don’t know how government works, if you really want to pull that particular bit of hackneyed centrist gaslighting, don’t kick off the party with an excuse that fundamentally ignores how government works.
If you don’t want people to act like you’re carrying water for the Biden administration, don’t make excuses on their behalf that aren’t grounded in reality.
This could have been passed with a simple majority, contrary to your lie. There’s always some fucking excuse for how powerless Biden totally is when it’s something that centrists don’t want to do.
But he’s all powerful when it comes to shit they want more than keeping Trump out of office, which is why I brought up Netanyahu’s genocide. There’s no “we can’t! Here’s an excuse for why and gaslighting when you point out why that excuse holds no water” when it comes to genocide. Biden can just do it!
It’s the one policy that centrists don’t get in their own way and make flimsy excuses about. It’s the one policy that centrists won’t abandon it the first whiff of pushback.

I said pushed, as in voiced it to the Democratic party to write legislation for it, and passed it if it got to him.
If only his party controlled both houses of congress during his first year.
