Biden kept DeJoy and let the parliamentarian kill the $15 minimum wage.
Like, don’t tell me he couldn’t have done more as we watch this shit show unfolding.
Trump and his unelected oligarch benefactor are shuttering entire agencies and laying off scores of workers.
This is the imbalance today.

who'd stop him though
dont get me wrong i agree with you he should have gotten rid of dejoy but Biden wanted appeal to voters by leading by example.
but, thank you.
Democrats can’t even decide if national healthcare is safe to run on yet even after a kid was made into a folk hero for murdering a health insurance CEO.
Like, this is the imbalance.
we have a lot of advantages but we are caught in a streak of being played by musk and trump. we have to stop. organize. stop thinking of politics. think strategically. if we just keep chasing their bait, we will just succumb.
If we won’t use words we better be willing to carry something hard

We saw it in California and with Obama. Voting more of them only makes it obvious.
They are controlled (fake) opposition.
that's too funny. or it would be if clowns like this didn't help trump for clicks.
The Senate confirmed Biden’s two nominees to the board back in May, adding a D and R to the roster. https://www.federaltimes.com/federal-oversight/2022/08/24/can-biden-fire-us-postmaster-general-louis-dejoy/
That was federal law that did so.
If Dems had done what you wanted and fallen for McConnell's trap, the next words out of his mouth would've been "point of order", which would've required 3/5 of the senate to overcome.
Do you research at all?
In this case, that would have been Kamala Harris. She had discretion.
The parliamentarian merely advised her.

Riddle me that one.
And"presiding officer" during debate is the chair or majority leader, not the VP.
That's only voting on legislation.
I'm almost embarrassed for you.

Which the Democrats had.
But that’s a problem with the coalition. It wasn’t capable of delivering. You don’t see that kind of disunity on the other side.
And that’s ANOTHER imbalance in our politics that skews us right!
Section 904 of the Budget Control Act explains that
A) any senator who has the floor can raise a point of order
B) the presiding officer during debate is the chair
C) waiving the point of order requires 3/5ths vote.
Heard that one before ? Or did they not cover the Constitution where you went to college?
Key words there are "unless the vote is tied".
Point of Order is a DEBATE procedure.
No vote.
With VP Harris, they could have ended debate and passed the legislation with the wage hike.
It was a moment where they pulled back and respected institutional norms at the expense of their agenda.
Harris wasn't the chair during the committee hearing.
Yeah he should have acted just like this toxic narcissist, only for good..
You are living in a fantasy world that somehow Biden could save us from ourselves. That was our job and a bunch of us failed spectacularly. Some were real petty & need to grow the eff up.
straight out of central casting. my god.
