Seems kind of undemocratic to ignore the demands of the people that voted for you.
He was elected on the pretense that he would cancel student loans, stop covid, fix healthcare, stop the border camps, etc. But he hasn’t done any of those things.
Pretty sorry democracy the US has. Some free country should liberate them.
He’s not an authoritarian, he needs the backing of Congress to do those things as well as no Supreme Court challenges on those actions. Who are you voting for in his place?
If he’s not an authoritarian, why didn’t he need the backing of congress to give more weapons to Israel?
Who are you voting for in his place?

:oh-wait-youre-serious-let-me-laugh-even-harder:
He can instantly forgive any & all federal student loans with the flick of a pen.
Noooo but the Supreme Court, the unelected body of ghouls wearing robes with lifetime appointments to a position that gives them the power to arbitrarily take away rights and de facto veto power over any federal policy project, but also has no mechanism for enforcing its power and is therefore literally dependent on the rest of the federal government to entertain their fascistic musings, said we can’t do that!

Also, really funny how when some third world country nationalizes their lithium reserves (or even does as much as sway to another side geopolitically, as Ukraine did) the US just coups them and makes sure the correct policy agenda goes through. But when people at home ask for even a mild reform to the most broken, insane healthcare system in the world, liberals come out of the woodworks saying we gotta check what the cuckoo clock says and run a lap around the parliamentarian. Be for real, if Biden or any other ghoul actually wanted to get change done, they would’ve sent Joe Manchin and Sinema an overhead shot of their bedroom and dig out a million old skeletons from their closets, because that’s how power operates. You’ve deluded yourself into thinking this elaborate trapezoid of checks and balances works in your favor when it’s just Calvinball.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
How come republican presidents don’t need both houses of Congress and the supreme Court to advance their legislative agendas?
Because their legislation is usually “nothing”. And they DO need both. What they’ve also done is compromise: they give Democrats something they want and in turn get tax breaks for the rich.
LMAO, I wonder how many people knew about the parliamentarian before Biden was inaugurated.
Edit - oh shit you’re serious. Lemmy strikes again. So if Biden has the power to make lives better through pushing through healthcare or prosecuting Republicans for their actions, he shouldn’t?
Is that what you believe? He’s called a tyrant regardless and he’s allowed things like Roe v Wade to fall through.
Well, when every candidate that people have to choose from are absolute garbage that everyone hates, and are probably there because they have funding from unelected donors, I suggest revolution and replacing them with people that are accountable to the proletariat. You know, a real democracy.
How is he bypassing Congress to fast track weapons to Israel for their genocide? Why did he waive a bunch of federal laws to build a border fence? Why can’t he do that for a single good thing instead of something unspeakably evil?
Why doesn’t he enforce the rule of law against authoritarian Republican governors who so openly flout it to commit their horrific human rights abuses and bigotry campaigns?
