That shit doesn't get passed when the dems feel safe. Criticising Biden (including the announcement that you wouldn't vote for him) is how democracy is supposed to work.
The process to properly implement these reforms done via government agencies takes years of public comments (tens of thousands of them, and you have to respond to every one!), review, etc. if you don't want their effects to just be immediately repealed like many of Trump's were.
You're allowed to criticize Biden, and I am allowed to defend him. Nobody's censoring you.
If you were actually concerned with democracy functioning how it should, you would vote for Biden and not let Trump win full stop.
I can't vote in the US, genius.
And I'm not interested in upholding parliamentary democracy, since I don't think it's very democratic at all.
Wow, how am I not going to assume that someone commenting on the US election is not from the US? Genius.
Trust me: If I had the choice, I would gladly never hear a single word about US elections, ever again.
Unfortunately, I not only have to worry about your so-called country on stolen land slipping down into fascism, but you guys actively enable Israel bombing 40000 palestinians and counting.
Criticizing? Absolutely.
Taking the asinine position of completely ignoring the realities of our political and electoral system and thinking that complaining misanthropically on the Internet is, somehow, a more effective means of bringing about change...that is not, in my view, how democracy is supposed to work (not saying this is what you're doing, just that there's a lot of that in this thread).
