BREAKING: Democratic governors are reportedly planning how to have their states' local police and state troopers follow ICE agents around and arrest them for every infringement on citizens' Constitutional rights.
Biden is going to win, I’m sure of it, but the Senate seems to have slipped through our fingers. So long as McConnell is majority leader, he will continue to hold it hostage; Biden won’t be getting any judicial appointments unless he makes recess appointments. The problem with that is recess appointments only last for a single congressional session (max 2 years), and McConnell isn’t going to let the Senate go int recess, so Biden would need to prorogue Congress, which would take approval from Pelosi (the president can only force a recess if the House and Senate disagree on a date), and would be political suicide because the American people are really on edge about authoritarianism right now, and nothing screams dictator like disbanding Congress to pack the courts. People expect Republicans to be ratfucking bastards, they get a free pass to cheat the system, but Democrats are expected to follow the old rules, to stay in line, to uphold tradition and precedent and whatever the hell else will let Republicans walk all over them. If a Democrat tried to skirt the rules the way Republicans do,their approval ratings would tank, and the Republicans would ride a red wave into the midterms.
I feel like Biden will be a doormat as president. He has run on a platform of being palatable, inoffensive, milquetoast, he’s not going to make any waves, he’s not going to try and out maneuver the Republicans, because doing so would sacrifice his veneer of bipartisanship. He has already said he doesn’t want to use executive orders to sidestep Congress the way Trump has, so he’s going to end up accomplishing very little, all the while completely misunderstanding why young people are becoming increasingly mad at him. He’s not assertive enough. I don’t think he has a clearly defined Biden Doctrine. What will his presidency be about? Healthcare will be a major issue when the Supreme Court gets rid of Obamacare next week, but he doesn’t stand a chance of getting a new plan passed while McConnell controls the Senate. And Republicans across the country will blame him instead of trump for gutting their healthcare, saying that Obamacare was his fault when he was terrible and his fault when he was Vice President, but also that its absence is terrible and his fault when he is President. It’s a lose-lose situation.
Republicans are scheming, Democrats are most definitely not. Republicans know how to game the system, Democrats don’t. Biden needs to hit the ground running. He needs to hire young advisors who can help him play the game in the 21st century, but that’s almost certainly not what he’s going to do. He’s going to surround himself with old white moderates and a few token moderates of color, and slog his way through the first half of his term before floundering at the midterms because the Republicans will have organized a powerful opposition by then. He’s not particularly inspiring, he’s just a calming presence compared to Trump, and even THAT wasn’t enough for a blowout; a good 45 - 50% of the country is batshit fucking crazy, and will not hesitate to blow him and his presidency out of the water. He needs to go big or go home, he needs to add some new songs to his repertoire. Trump lost because all he knew how to play was Free Bird. Biden needs to do some experimental shit, throw anything at the wall, see what sticks, make himself more exciting, not just boring, safe, old Grampa Joe.
I do not think Joe Biden is an evil man, I just think he is unambitious and unwilling to take risks because he is stuck in the past. The country will be better off under him than under Trump, but I just don’t think he’s going to make as many big sweeping changes as we had hoped. He needs to close the camps, he needs to reunite families (that is if Trump doesn’t actively sabotage this by erasing data to fuck him and the rest of the country over between now and January 20th), he needs to raise taxes and close loopholes so that big corporations don’t just move overseas to avoid paying said taxes. Economic inequality should be a major platform issue for him, but I don’t know if he’s committed to it as much as we need him to be. He is not a progressive, we won’t be seeing anything like a President Bernie Sanders, I just hope he has plans for the future; 2024 is going to be HELL ON EARTH if he stays the course. America doesn’t need any more third-way, neoliberal, moderate centrist bullshit. I would say we want major progressive reform, but I guess the majority actually doesn’t, because half of them still voted for the worst human alive today. When Republicans are in power, they don’t give a shit about Democrats, so why should Democrats bother about them? Why should Biden keep trying to placate them when they’re never going to vote for him; they didn’t this time, they won’t next time, especially if Trump runs for a non-consecutive term or one of his brood runs in his place to establish a dynasty. Biden needs to play hardball and push through an agenda, regardless of what Republicans do. We can’t always take the high ground, we need to stop playing fair when the other side plays dirty!
When a friend says with conviction that thanks to Biden everything will change and you can hardly hold back the laughter
