    Okay, great.

    And if it manages to make it through Congress it will be terrible, and if it’s not terrible it will be struck down by the Supreme Court or sued out of existence or legislated against in the states.

    Welcome to the separation of powers.

    I’m not gonna hold my breath.

      “Don’t ever try to do anything positive because it might not work out” is a terrible attitude.

        That “might” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

        How about this: I will eat my own foot shavings if half of this gets passed.

          How much do you shave your foot? If you’re going to say this, you need to state a measurable amount

            I will save my foot shavings from now on and will eat at most 250 mL (~1 cup) of them if Biden manages to get half of the things he’s proposing here passed.

            And I won’t even sprinkle them on pasta. Just straight up with a spoon.

            That’s how little faith I have in our government.

        That’s precisely the attitude people had when they voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries over all the other decent options.

        I’m sorry for understanding how our government works and our nation’s actual demographics.

          All you’re doing is approving and reinforcing this state of affairs by sharing your defeatist attitude.

          If you don’t like it, either try and help do something about it, or shut the fuck up.

            This state of affairs doesn’t need help being reinforced. It’s been carved in stone and blood for 250 years. It’s supported by people who profit greatly from people thinking that elections are how you change things.

            Me pointing this out pales in comparison to all of that. Unless you think one asshole on a barely used social network has that sort of power, which would be fucking awesome.
