    I’ve been saying since 2016 that Sanders’ executive orders alone would have moved the US further in the right direction than any president since LBJ.

    The last six months of Donald Trump have proven that. The presidency has all the power any party needs if they actually want to do real good.

      I think its hilarious how before Trumps 2nd term, the libshits would argue "but if they use executive orders to push through {legalization of abortion, marijuana, socialized healthcare, public transit, any number of good left leaning policies} the R’s will do it back when theyre back in office!!

      Now look where we are.

      fucking libshits and MAGAts.

        Yeah so Biden did an executive order to forgive student debt, it got challenged in the courts and so it didn’t happen.

        People saying “Democrats should just do executive orders like Trump does” need to look into who’s on the Supreme Court.

        The “do everything by EO” strat only works for a party that has had a loyal voting base for decades so they have control of the courts.

        Sorry to interrupt the “both sides” narrative leftists/MAGAs love so much.
