    the successful vaccine scale-up and distribution enabled people to socialize again

    I’d love to see a source that first vaccination went up under Biden, and you’re not just talking about the same people taking multiple vaccines. But your acting like there weren’t vaccines under trump?

    Are you just talking about Biden giving a bunch of taxpayer money so that giant billion dollar companies would keep making the vaccines they were making crazy money on already?

    the Inflation Reduction Act

    Presidents can pass legislation?

    If Biden did that, why can’t he do anything about: cannabis, abortion, healthcare, student loans, taxing the wealthy, breaking up corporations…

    Really anything that when he gets asked about he says presidents can’t pass legislation so he can’t do anything?

    Because it kind of feels like you’re just giving credit to Biden for anything good that happened while in office.

      The President’s signature is the last step in its passage, and he and his staff were intimately involved in the negotiation needed to get it through congress. He’s not magic, but Biden got things done when others would likely have failed.

        So why won’t he negotiate for any of that other stuff?

        When asked about it, he openly says he can’t change anyone’s minds and it would be pointless to try…

        But when something good happens, it was all because of him.

        I give up man, this just keeps going in circles

          He did negotiate for a lot more than he got.

          You’re just sealioning at this point.
