You do realize Joe Biden has been President for the last four years, right?

You realize the changes he wants to make were recommended to him by an advisory panel in 2021, right?

You realize Biden has sat on his thumbs for the last four years watching America's economy and political climate fall into the gutter, watching the world fall into war, watching the global environmental and economic collapse and the worst refugee crisis in world history grind on and doing absolutely fucking nothing, right?

But now that the Supreme Court that Biden enabled has formally instituted the imperial presidency that everybody knew they would institute, now that the end of democracy in America is literally in sight, Biden and the Democratic Party are finally going to start fighting for the court reforms we've been begging for his entire presidency?

Forgive me for not expecting much.
