    No, they do what you want. Break their promises

    Again: Green energy, EV investment, union empowerment, student debt forgiveness, marijuana rescheduling and pardons, infrastructure, drug price controls, Chips act, PACT act, etc etc etc. Non-competes banned (by FTC along ā€˜party linesā€™). Pardoning people kicked out for being gay. Supporting Ukraine.

    I like all that.

    Obamaā€™s ACA? Like.

    Youā€™re pretending that legislation canā€™t be written ahead of time.

    You donā€™t blindly write everything ahead of time. This isnā€™t like Project 2025 where you do whatever you want despite what the people want. The situation on the ground changes, what you can fund changes, what the most important issue is changes, the findings of studies changes, which reps and which senators will vote for what. Fucking everything changes.

    Obama probably wanted to do more on healthcare. You know what changed? The fucking great recession. You have to change with the situation you have.

    Biden probably wanted to fund more things? You know what changed everything? Fucking COVID with another insane budget crunch. He had to focus on covid relief first. Then see how business changes coming out of that. You have to change with the situation you have.

    Seriously that you want to blindly write everything is justā€¦ unbelievable. Thatā€™s dogma and ideology. Not reality, and the complexity and nuance of life (or politics, which is tenfold complexity and nuance).

        To anyone else, Mr Crab is upset that in a different chain that I said Biden rescheduled weed, when he told whatever agency to look at it. So heā€™s using it as an out instead of replying.

          You lied. Cannabis is still Schedule 1. ā€œWeā€™re looking into itā€ is not an accomplishment. You lied so weā€™re done. If you donā€™t like that, you shouldnā€™t have lied.

            Oh so instead I may have gotten a little ahead of the ball. Like wow youā€™re still being pedantic. Instead of actually responding.

            Have at being upset, I think everyone can see youā€™re just trying to use it as an out instead of an intellectual response. Like how you keep saying youā€™re done, but you keep coming back.
