MODERATORS
Are you unable to answer the question or do you not have an answer? Is that why you resorted to snark?
Not expect praise for something that hasn't happened?
Centrists demand credit for non-accomplishments because they prefer to accomplish nothing.
Where did I demand Biden be praised?
When did I demand Biden get credit?
Often on social media the same people who decry one side behaving like authoritarian dictators act like it’s acceptable for their side to behave like gasp authoritarian dictators.
Yes, some people like to give undue credit but you’re just the other side of that coin shitting on any action that is taken.
Instead of engaging in the discussion you resort to snark, assumptions and insults. It’s clear you have nothing to contribute, engaging with you any further would be a waste of my time.
Have a day!
I've said that I will be happy to give Biden credit for actual accomplishments. This is not an accomplishment. It could be groundwork for one, or it could be making a show of looking into it and then not following through.
Democrats squandered what remaining benefit of the doubt they had years ago. Until it's an accomplishment, it's a bill of goods as far as I'm concerned.
It’s not, it’s what Biden can do. That’s why you still haven’t provided an example or an actual answer to the original question, what else is there for Biden to do?
So you don’t understand how the process works? That’s effectively what you’re saying.
Perhaps you should read up. This is a good explanation from when this was discussed during Obama’s presidency. Do you see anywhere that it says the president can unilaterally legalize or change the schedule of a drug?
There’s a system, it’s part of how that whole checks and balances thing works. Ignorance often leads to anger as you so aptly demonstrate. I honestly wonder if people who comment like you have are being intentional or are unwittingly part of the disinformation machine.
I don't expect him to do anything. He's a Democrat. I didn't say I expected him to do anything. Your question is based on incorrect assumptions.
Until this is an accomplishment, it's a bill of goods. It's another in an endless series of worthless promises that Democrats never intend for an instant to keep. It's a con.
No, my question was based on what the person I was responding to said before you jumped in with your inanity. Try to keep up.
Then don't expect me to answer on another's behalf. If you'll carefully read my comment, you'll notice that at no point did I say Biden was going to do anything nor that I expected him to.
Just pointed out that he said he'd look into it, and noted the centrist tendency to interpret stated intentions as accomplishments, regardless of how little is actually done.
Then don’t reply to someone who’s asking a question. Especially when you have nothing to actually contribute to the conversation.
There’s a saying about how it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
You should have stayed silent because there is certainly no doubt about your foolishness now.
Don't aggressively ask questions of someone and expect no reply. If you want to interrogate me about another person's opinions, I'm within my rights to point out that you're being unreasonable.
Your attempts to gaslight me into accepting campaign bullshit as accomplished fact have failed.
