in 2020, Biden ran on his vast tenure. but apparently, its "deeply unserious" to look at what hes done? He'll likely mention it again in the coming year
And yes, he does take credit for acts of congress. the build back better plan comes immediately to mind. Or did you think he did that exclusive? American Recovery Act, too. in fact, he pretty much takes credit for every major piece of legislation that comes off. And to be fair, he does do some heavy lifting and horse trading to get it done, but he's far- far from alone on that.
No, it's deeply unserious to have vast criticisms of what Biden hasn't done with a complete and total ignorance of how the government or the presidency works.
Riiiight.
maybe you should explain how it all works to the fucking POTUS, then, since he loves taking credit for congressional acts that he think's we'll like. can't have it both ways. that you try to insist he should get it both ways is hilarious.
it is a valid criticism to say nothing he's done comes even close to 'enough'. in fact, despite his efforts, he's released more oil into the market from the strategic reserves than every other president combined., and new oil permits have significantly outpaced permits during Trump's admin.
but it's deeply unserious to actually look at Biden's record. As a president. unless that record is... you know... actually a positive record.
I can't have it both ways... that Biden both likes to take credit for Congressional actions, yet, simultaneously, does not actually control Congress. These are, apparently, according to you, mutually exclusive points.
Huh. That's an interesting point of view you have.
