    If I promise something and someone blocks me from viably pursuing it, that’s not on me, that’s on them: Republicans.

    If I promise my kid a trip to their favorite amusement park and then don’t get the big bonus I expected from work to afford it, it’s not my jobs fault the kid didn’t go to the park. It’s my fault for making a promise and not finding a way to follow through.

      If I promise my kid a trip to their favorite amusement park and then don’t get to go because Republicans blew up every bridge along the way to the amusement park, which also flooded because of Climate Change, then that’s on Republicans, not me.

        Nice stealth edit, because you realize what you say is ridiculous.

        You’re borderline obsessed with a boogie man. Take some personal accountability.

        If you want to use your example that’d be like knowing those bridges were scheduled for demolition, and still promising to drive over them the next day anyway.

          Stealth edit? Sorry, I corrected a typo. What did you think I did? LOL.

          Like knowing those bridges were scheduled for demolition,

          Except in your terrible analogy, this is amplifying momentum for people to vote, which could’ve inevitably changed the outcome of who controlled the House and Senate. Therefore, Biden couldn’t have predicted those bridges to be blown up because it was quite possibly people would make the sensible choice and not put these demolitionists back in Congress.

          Republicans have nothing. You will lose.

            If he ignored the entire history of the party and voting base. Why is it not his own fault for being able to understand that water is wet?

              Are you really that upset that Biden made a promise that he can’t keep because Republicans blocked him? The key point in all this is understanding what his intentions are. He laid out his intentions; if he wasn’t serious, then he probably wouldn’t have advised the DOJ to not prosecute marijuana offenders, or pardon them, huh?

              lol.

              Republicans have nothing. Trump is going to prison. You will lose.

                I’m not only invested in one side winning, I’m invested in how we can move forward together.

                You seem hell bent on “othering” people, this has led to terrible outcomes consistently through history.

                Quit editing your posts to seem more reasonable. If you want to say something say it with your chest.

                  There is no hope for fascist authoritarians of the Republican spectrum. Here one drones on and on about Biden and what he promised and didn’t promise – yet you ignore the elephant in the room, conveniently. Curiously. Suspiciously.

                  I’ll edit my comments all I want. There’s nothing wrong with reviewing grammar and typos and revising sentences to improve clarity. You still haven’t elucidated exactly what I edited that is aggravating you so much, lol.

                    Cool, then there’s nothing to worry about if I am what you erroneously claim?

                    Why are you so threatened by an opposing view if that opposition has no hope?

                    You’re terrified and resorting to attacking and othering anyone who doesn’t fall in line 100%, even if they’re part of your same party.
