Almost like the Dept of Ed has been working on these rules for years and the process takes some time and has to be open to public comments and things. The wheels of the government are designed to move slowly. We can discuss if that’s good or not, but this isn’t something Biden decided last week, it’s been in the works for a long time.
And it’s almost politics, especially on the left, is more complicated than one party having the slimmest of possible margins. Did you forget about Sinema and Manchen? Have you already forgotten the fights the Dems in Congress had within the party to get enough support to pass things? If you want more progressive polices to pass than you need to elect even more Dems into Congress so that the few fuckwits in the “center-right” can be relegated to the corner and ignored. That doesn’t work when nothing can pass if even one senator decides to vote no.
Jesus fucking Christ I swear we need to mandate more than one part of one class for how the government works. So many of you out here acting like the moment a Dem becomes president they can just will whatever laws they want into existence.
Did you forget about Sinema and Manchen?
How could anyone forget about the only two democrats whose opinion actually matters?
That’s a good question! But it’s one I ask myself every time someone complains about the Dems not doing enough when they had full control of Congress.
“Why didn’t they pass a student loan bill or abortion protection or $15 minimum wage when they had the chance?” Manchen and Sinema.
so youre saying the ‘good thing’ biden did wasn’t him? cool.
yeah I know how government functions, but you apparently don’t.
Do you know who the Dept of Ed works for? Do you know who put the guy in charge of that Department?
Biden didn’t directly make this change because he doesn’t have the authority to do that, but he did direct his appointee to do it.
What part of the way the government works did I get wrong? Does the President get to will laws into existence? Did Manchen and Sinema not matter?
