This is exactly the bullshit policy Biden sticks his dick into everytime. I really don't want to hate the guy but what a fucking idiot.
Biden being anything but conservative lite is just the fucking truth.
From my outside perspective the whole democratic party is conservative lite.
Oh it's pretty obvious with an internal perspective too as long as you don't fall for their propaganda about being to the left and instead look at their policies
It's because of what they named the bill I reckon but it's still bullshit like "citizens united" or "the patriot act" aka not what the bills intent is
Did Biden introduce this bill or vote on it?
Vocalized support in favor of it and asked for it to be passed, so it seems. About as far as he can go until it's on his desk, so it's understandable to expect he would sign it if it does.
Biden is the President, head of the executive branch and does not have the power to introduce bills or vote on them.
He can only sign the bill into law or veto the bill.
Looks like he's in full support

Welp, guess my next allocation for a gaming PC will be spent on books and camping gear.
Fuck it.
Well if it becomes law then he will have. Do you have reason to think he will veto?
This is what gets me about conservatives trying to shit on Biden and expecting a rise out of us. Motherfuckers, we know he's mid lmao. Better than the alternative though
Some of my last days on reddit every bad thing I said about Biden triggered some dem true believer to tell me how actually Biden is the most progressive president in history. I get they don't want to acknowledge bidens conservative leaning in fear it might hurt him at the polls. What they dont realize for every one person you're telling don't believe your own eyes you're maybe only keeping one person from straying from party line. But that person you just showed the dems true colors to, for them, you've tainted the party forever.
He's a corporate piece of shit. I have to vote for him every time but he's absolutely on the wrong side and if America burns I will consider him like Nero having done nothing but played his fiddle to the tune of the screams of his constituents as he refuses to change things that might upset his benefactors.
Truly a waste of a presidency and a failure of those in power to try and make things better instead of hiding and playing passive line holders to fascists at the gate.
