In other words, a lot of Republicans in those areas do indeed prefer people like Liz Cheney to Trump.

But we have conclusive evidence that the horse (Trump derpism) has run away with the traditional rider (establishment Republicans). The majority of GOP voters dislike Liz Cheney almost as much as they dislike Democrats.

they also come from people who would never consider a Romney/Clinton ticket as unity

Biden: ok, we're going to have a vaccine mandate so that everyone can be healthy and the effects if you catch covid will be mild

SCOTUS: LOL no

Biden really should just sneak into people's houses at night and vaccinate them with a blowgun.

really something, immediately following a president doing literally whatever he wanted, including all kinds of things that were supposedly illegal/unprecedented/etc, and without congress for half of it, to defend this current piece of **** on the basis of him being powerless or whatever

or maybe, just maybe, his 50 year political career of legislating as a republican wasn't some kind of elaborate bit, and he doesn't want to do any of these good things??? if such a thing is even even possible...

Because doing nothing is a lot easier than doing something.

Literally what mechanism exists for Biden to use at this point?

He tried executive power. SCOTUS overruled (most of) it.

He tried legislative power. Congress said no.

He tried the bully pulpit you're always suggesting by literally comparing anyone that doesn't fall in line with segregationists and today Manchin and Sinema said "We're good".

What levers are left to pull at this point? Trump was able to "do whatever he wanted" because what he wanted was largely undoing things like regulations and appointing judges (the one thing Biden is actually just saying "Ok, I'll break the rules too" and doing). Trump didn't actually get anything done (no Wall, no ACA repeal, etc. etc.) because he couldn't.

executive orders exist, and he's not actually trying to wrangle those senators to do anything bc he doesn't want to do any of these things. just rotating villain **** while they run the clock out on themselves and hand power back to the nazis (this governing **** is ****in exhausting compared to being the orange man bad "opposition")

pack/ignore the court, bribe/bully ppl, there are all kinds of things they could do if they cared, but they quite obv don't


or keep on believing that the president is powerless in the face of random politicians, the cbo, the senate parliamentarian, the parking lot security guard, etc etc etc
