The single most common criticism of President Biden’s reelection campaign is that he made a ghastly error by branding his policies “Bidenomics.” Americans think the economy is terrible, and Democrats have been begging the president to stop branding himself as the architect of something that people hate.
I think this advice is wrong. Biden needs to change the public’s view on the economy if he’s going to win.
how bout that minimum wage? How about Cannabis legalization? Election Day a Federal Holiday… ANY OF THESE WILL DO or ALL!!!
How about something that doesn’t need approval by the House?
I love how frequently this argument is being thrown out there to excuse Biden.
If Trump gets elected, he is going to single highhandedly murder all of the brown people of the world and dissolve the United States, but Biden can’t be held accountable for being a do nothing because Congress is incapable of doing anything, which makes the President incapable of doing anything.
The mental gymnastics.
Biden and Trump both can issue executive orders without need of Congressional approval.
Executive orders can easily be used to harass people, but they can’t be used to raise the minimum wage.
Making election day a national holiday isn’t particularly effective, since (a) businesses can ignore it and make employees work on holidays and (b) there is already an executive order giving government employees time off to vote. It would be much better to move election day to a weekend, but that requires Congress.
Obama already used an executive order to deprioritize marijuana prosecution, which is the most a president can do without Congress.
Biden tried to use executive orders more creatively to forgive student debt, but that was blocked by the courts.
So essentially, the POTUS needs to be a leader.
If the POTUS is an impotent geezer, be he an empty headed cheeto windbag, or a hermit crab genocide enthusiast, neither can destroy America, but both can get REAL CLOSE.
Yup. Still team “flip the monopoly board.”
