Let me fix that for you: a politician’s attempt to court disengaged voters by presenting a popular proposal. AKA democracy.
An interesting cause to embrace two weeks before an election, then.
(White House does anything)
This person: Why are they interfering with the election?!
They've been in office for 4 years and they finally think about the voters. What reaction do you expect?
Perhaps the voting public to have a bit more reflection than you seem to. It's not like this is the one thing they've done in four years.
Harris is in serious danger of losing to Trump. It takes a special kind of terrible candidate to be able to do that. Only Hillary Clinton accomplished it in the past. If Trump gets re-elected though, maybe the Dems can try for a new world record by launching three failed impeachments next term instead of two.
Who exactly should they have run, and did you canvass for that person?
Remember, that person also has to want to run.
Okay so apparently you've been burying your head in the sand because it's been nothing but progress in the past four years. From college forgiveness, to decriminalization, drop in violent crime, expanding overtime...
But nah it's cool bro THANKS BRANDON or whatever y'all say
I wouldn't say "nothing but progress". There was that railroad union busting thing. And the student loan thing (though that was the Republicans' fault). And currently there's the whole genocide thing.
But on the other other hand there was the CHIPS act which is massively expanding chip foundries within the country, the IRA which has crap loads of federal money for energy efficient upgrades to homes and businesses, or the Build Back Better act which provided a crap load of federal money for infrastructure improvements. Most of these will be extremely slow burn bills that will be incredibly instrumental in the long term improvement of the country but won't be immediately obvious to voters
So do they just have to stop governing at some point in order to receive your blessing. Exactly how many weeks/months out should they stop governing?
Is it tho?
It's better than pretending to work at a fast food restaurant while also ignoring health codes.
