Effort, time, and political capital are finite. The opportunity cost of even getting a M4A bill to committee in the Senate is huge and even trying without filibuster reform and having a comfortable majority in both chambers odds downright stupid. You’re not actually this dumb, right?

Republicans do these stupid things all the time and it works. The overton window is so far to the right, that you think a center-right politician like Biden is a glorious hero of the people. If it’s stupid and it works, then it’s not really stupid, now is it?

Biden was apart of the affordable care act, I think he knows better than a majority of people how hard it is to pass any sort of Healthcare bill. In this day and age, Republicans would vote against founding social security, to give you a idea about how obstructionist they are.

Biden has been a part of the corrupt system for decades and has contributed to it greatly himself. His stupid ass insisted on working with republicans early on in his presidency, after eight years of being Obama’s VP. I dunno, maybe he thought him being white would change things, and maybe he isn’t as keen on that stance now, but I’ve yet to see him or his party take action on actual change instead of bandaids. Meanwhile republicans are allowed to pull every dirty trick in the book to instate full-on fascism. When can I have a democratic party that fights as hard as republicans but for the people?
