    Tried? No. A few paid lip service. If the democratic party wanted something done they would get it done.

      It is so embarrassing how few people understand how our system of government works. The President is not a king.

        Not a king. But the bully pulpit has considerable power to shape public discourse.

        All I have seen from the administration is explaining how Bidenomics are a huge success, and look at these amazing numbers on a graph that don’t represent working class struggles. It’s a waste of breath when they could be pushing for policies that would make material change for working class people.

        He sure as shit used the bully pulpit to explain why breaking up the railway strike was “in our best interests”.
