Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He did. By passing meaningful legislation for 4 years and forgiving student loans.
Then we told him to go fuck himself and re-hired a felon rapist.
He doesn't owe us shit.
Like fuck he doesn't. He's the fucking president. If he had an ounce of decency, he'd keep fighting fascism 'til the last day of his presidency. That's what having power in a republic means, the duty to use it for the common good.
Anyone with an ounce of decency wouldn't even run for president, let alone get elected
The Senator from MBNA only ever had one agenda. I'll quote the man himself, "Nothing will fundamentally change". Caught hotmic'd in a closed door large ~~bribery~~ donor fancy plate shindig 4.5 years ago. Wouldn't be holding any breath waiting for anything from this guy.
My point's just that he has the duty, not that I expect him to execute it.
Do you have suggestions? Or just complaints? Are you aware presidents can't just do anything?
Holy fucking shit man, the only thing I'm responding to is the idea that Biden doesn't "owe us shit" because the US electorate was mean to him. Biden owes us the full execution of his duty to the best of his abilities from now until the day he leaves the presidency.
Not to mention that the very topic of the post and article is literally a suggestion from a Congresscritter.
What are your suggestions? You're complaining. What do you want him to do, within his power, in the remaining month?

Ask more of your leaders. He in fact does owe us. We live in a democracy.
Be dissatisfied with corruption and nepotism. Otherwise that is all we will get. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.
