MODERATORS
Unlike what most people think, executive orders aren't magic documents that lets the President legislate whatever they want on a whim. There are limits. They've grown a lot in scope over the decades, and if anything they need to be pulled back, but there are still limits.
I agree, and on paper you are correct. But also I have moved to the "it's the thought that counts" side of things. It seems to be more effective politicking these days to try and ram through something like an abortion EO and use the inevitable opposition (and legal?) pushback to say "see I'm fuckin trying over here" rather than to just stand there idly brandishing "plans" this is something the left needs to learn from the right. See the senate: Chuck Schumer should have started impeachment inquiries into Alito and Thomas yesterday, knowing full well they aren't actually going anywhere. It puts the issue in front of people.
I see what you're saying, but I'm also already foreseeing the next set of whiners saying "Biden knew it would fail, and he only did it to pretend to do something". Which I've seen with student loan forgiveness.
no he did some less than quarter ass measure for student loan forgiveness, asked for more votes/ funding, and then that was it same as with women's rights
and acted like he almost did as much as his god could do
atrophied is the same as actively supporting fascism with speeches, policies, and laws
