Biden is going to handle this like the Covid checks. Make a big promise hinging on the election and then under deliver. Then waste a couple years and make some executive memo bullshit that gets tied up in the courts. If he lives that long.
I want legal weed and more. Just saying Biden isn’t the guy to deliver.
Biden already did steps 1 and 2, and step 3 is in process. So far, Biden has made the most progress on weed legalization of all US presidents 🤷

I hate when people act like the president should act like/be a dictator.
Seriously! Did they not realize that Biden tried to make good on the campaign promises but Congress didn't want to go along? Probably the same people who think the president controls gas prices with a big lever...

Suppose he just shouldn't try then huh? I guess doing nothing is what you prefer.
They demand everything, and if they don't get it, they stay home on election day, let Trump win, and let the world burn. Because that's what a mature and reasonable person does. They stomp their feet, then snatch the ball away and go home.
The amount of people who let perfect be the enemy of better is too damn high
Peach!
Mango!
Go banana!
Who is “they”? Because your hypothetical situation is the exact opposite of what happened in Biden v Trump. Plenty of “them” did turn out and vote for Biden even if he’s not their preferred candidate.
Plenty of Lemmy users. They tend to announce themselves.
What if he was though?
What if you could pull up a website and punch a few keys in an Joe fucking Biden would show up at your door with a paper baggie full of marijuana?
"Heelo, I am Joeseph Biden. I haev a delivery for you of the Pot."
Ice cream cone in one hand, dime bag in the other, rocking his sunglasses to hide his red AF eyes
He's probably gonna kick your dog, too. What an asshole!
