It's called being realistic about what president can do with their powers. She absolutely should encourage Congress to pass legislation as that is much more permanent and effective than executive orders

Being "realistic" doesn't mean expecting promises of things that Congress would never approve.

I want Medicare For All and you think I could be a Trump supporter? You're not as clever as you think, we are nothing alike.
