We all watched as the previous administration used the “unitary executive” theory to pass a bunch of horseshit we all now have to deal with, but when it comes to actual progress this admin doesn’t want to take that path when it’s the only one that will lead to actual long term systemic change.

The part you’re not mentioning is where SCotUS slaps down the Democrats trying to help people in broad strokes and allows the objectively evil GOP policies that hurt people & pollute our environment.

See student loan forgiveness for the latest example.

Oh 100%. It’s what I mean when I say we can’t build up brick by brick when the country keeps getting bulldozed.

Student Loan forgiveness is a great example! But I feel abortion magically becoming a state issue is the best example since the Supreme Court made that decision despite established “stare decisis” doctrine, AND the fact that the last time we had a big disagreement about “states rights” it lead to a fucking Civil War. (According to the GOP that war was about states rights after all.)
