Ralph G asked in Politics & GovernmentPolitics · 5 months ago

So, Biden won. What does that matter anyway?

Mitch McConnell won't let him get anything done. Bills will be passed in the House, then sit on Mitch's desk to rot without letting the Senate vote on them. That's the real reason for the "Do-Nothing Democrats."

Update:

The  past four years has made me cynical. Hopefully, the next four years will change that.

    It matters a lot.  First off, Biden has some chance of getting things done, even with a Republican controlled Senate.  They're going to be facing major crises with Covid and the economy.  And Biden, unlike the last several occupants of the White House, is a Congressional insider who is still well liked personally by many Republican Senators.  He's much better at glad handing than Obama was. 

    Still, it's likely that Republicans will be reluctant to work with him.  The Republican party in the last twelve years has decided that it's better to hurt America than to work with Democrats.  But that doesn't mean that his Presidency is meaningless.  Trump's Presidency was, from a legislative standpoint, an almost total failure.  The only legislation of any significance passed (pre-covid stimulus) was the tax cut.  And yet Trump had a lot of, negative, impact on America.  There's hundreds of thousands dead because of him.  There's environmental regulations.  There's immigration regulations.  There's frayed relationships with allies.  Biden can do an awful lot with the same tools to try and advance his agenda.

    If i was an ANTIFA member or a minority who just always hid behind my race or one of those retarded white liberals who (for reasons i still don't get) actually love political correctness and basically hating myself for being white and for having a penis and for not being a member of the LGBT ELAMENOPEE 12SKIPAFEW 99AHUNDRED community... it would matter to me because now would be like all my Christmases came at once because America might aswell now put a hammer and sickle on it's flag.

    The “Do-Nothing Democrats” will always be better than the “Ruin-Everything Republicans”

    Look Ralph the republicans that actually work for government aren’t as stupid, idiotic and redundant as you and the general public of republicans. Democrats and Republicans in office actually have reasonable and logical conversation on what can be done unlike you people that cover their ears and scream. Blaahhh blahhhh like whiny little brats
