because at no point in his presidency did he have a majority capable of doing that.

Why didn’t Biden expand the courts?!!

(He really didn't want to do it, true, but it was largely academic because yes, Manchin and Sinema were never going to agree)
the court's popularity has massively improved since then, during which they declared Donald Trump the god emperor of the World, immune from all Laws
If you want to rip into Biden for not expanding the court, I will call bullshit, because that wasn't something he ever had a hope in hell of doing.
Why is this hard?
Turns out, this centrist bullshit loses confidence in the party, which loses elections. That's what happened to Clinton in 1994!
Fucking amazing that you're defending him at all over this.
Listen to yourself!
you could instead get mad about things in our timeline over which he had real agency. ain't a shortage of those, and i like the guy.
biden's official support for it came in later in the process, but not clear that stronger support early would have had any positive effect on machin/sinema.
