Do people not realize that without legislative backing the President's powers to make long term and lasting change are extremely limited and nil? Like how he pursued student loan relief and got blocked by the Supreme Court?
Biden has never had a true majority in Congress, the senate was always 50/50 at best and even then two of those were DINOs with one of them fully switching to GOP in the last year. Scream all you want about Biden not doing anything but there really isn't anything else he can't legally do without Congress or Supreme Court just stopping his plan before it can even be publicly known. You want to see change with an actual leftist government in the US? Then fucking vote. Not just every 4 years in Presidential elections. but in midterms and special elections too. Find out who your state representatives are and vote in those elections too. If you don't know who represents you from the local level of city council all the way up to US House and Senate then you've really got no room to criticize the DNC for being paralyzed in not wanting to upset the voters they actually can get to turn out to the polls.
I don't know about anybody else's state, but my state was gerrymandered to extremes. I agree that there are a lot of voters who need to do their jobs, but there's a lot of underhandedness going on to make sure voters have less power.
