So he made a promise he couldn't keep. He didn't try to win over the members in congress, or talk about it publicly why it's the fault of Republicans, and not him.
That's a cool guy. Remember when FDR just did nothing in Congress to push for Social Security? Or Minimum Wage? That was so cool of him. I especially don't remember him making any fireside chats to the public talking about what would best for America and how you can help it.
Dude this is how Congress works. The president is not a king. Congress passes laws, not the president. You campaign and then you try to fulfill it, but if Congress blocks you there's not much you can do
If you haven't noticed, the right wing today is not the right wing of 70 years ago. They will gleefully burn everything to the ground. The GOP even shut down the government under Obama.
So now the question is what can you do. You vote for the Dems. You give them actual control in all 3 houses. Give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
I live in California and I vote Democrat. I vote in primaries.
The house and stats assembly where I live in republican redneck territory. The dipshit known as Kevin McCarthy was my rep. 65+% of all votes.
I fucking hate Republicans.
