    This…this is literally them listening to their voters?

    They wanted to do something, and their voters said “we don’t like that”, so they stopped.

    So many things to complain about this president, but this little story is good news if we want the president to listen to voters.

      No, this is them trying something most Black.people don’t give a fuck about.

      But stereotypes say they do.

      So they do this, rather than something real people actually want, like:

      Healthcare

      Student loans

      Taxing the rich

      Not funding a genocide

      Holding the wealthy accountable

      Etc…

        Healthcare

        The Biden administration has been fighting to prevent Obamacare from getting gutted.

        Student loans

        He literally just forgave a bunch of student loans a couple weeks ago, and he’s trying to do it piecemeal after SCOTUS blocked his attempt to do it wholesale.

        Taxing the rich

        He has already raised taxes on the rich, via the American Rescue Plan. (It also lowers taxes on the poor and middle class.)

        Not funding a genocide

        Look. His job, as president, is to try to keep the Middle East from descending into WWIII. We can have Biden, who is trying to use what leverage he has on Netanyahu, or we can have Trump, who will gleefully send the Middle East into total war. Pick one.

        Holding the wealthy accountable

        Could you specify what you even mean, here?
