    You don’t understand the American political system. The President isn’t King.

    Bernie couldn’t have done more. It’s a Republican Supreme Court and Congress. Biden has done a great job with the limited power he has.

      The President isn’t King.

      No shit. You know what he is though? Head of the executive and commander in chief with veto on legislation. And he also has the single most visible bully pulpit on the planet earth.

      He’s not helpless and I will not entertain a conversation in which we pretend he is or one where asking him not to give his full-throated support to the mass starvation and bombing of fucking babies and innocent men and women is “the best he can do.”.

      Get the genocide apologia out of here.
