Liberals on lemmy are so frustrating. They told me Biden cannot change scheduling and he cant pressure his subordinate to change the scheduling. But they are probably in here cheering Biden.

Biden is running against a cult, he needs to transform America for the better to win. And all liberals worry about is keeping the status quo and thats killing his poll numbers.

Democrats are the Zeno's paradox of political actualism.

Why solve issues you can campaign on?

That's an actual strategy, like when Obama banned dumping coal tailings into rivers 3 months before he left office, so that Trump's EPA guy would have to reallow it.

Obama's EPA guy didn't actually want to ban the practice, or he'd have done it sooner, just get headlines "trump reverses Obama-era ruling to allow dumping mine tailings in rivers"

Wait, a politician is doing something that could potentially help them get reelected?

Inconceivable

inconceivable would be to actually do things for the betterment of society throughout the term.

maybe that would be a great reelection strategy.
