Ok but it doesn’t exist and didn’t when it was happening. He’s also the president, not in Congress. So why that’s laid at his feet when he did the right thing is hard for me to square.
I’d also like to point out that we are a long way from “Biden fucked over railroad workers” and are now going “Biden didn’t legislate this problem away.” Even if you dismiss everything I wrote above the argument that he didn’t help them reads hollow to me.
I never said I hated or blamed Biden for it. Ive infact said the literal opposite, that were incredibly lucky he was in office when it happened. You're pulling shit out of your ass and putting words in my mouth, which I don't appreciate.
My entire point this whole time is the power to do this shouldn't exist. Don't twist my words.
I hate "lol" replies, but I'm on the floor at the mental image of this
Hey man let’s ease off the gas a bit. The intensity of that reaction was totally unwarranted.
I am responding to the often repeated assertion. It’s fair to say that doesn’t apply to you, so mea culpa. You don’t need to explode over this.
Frankly, it isn't unwarranted. I don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth and building a strawman off of it.
I just acknowledged it wasn’t fair to put that on you but it’s clear you’re too angry to have this conversation anymore. Sorry again and enjoy your week.
And I appreciate that.
That doesn't change that that is not an unwarranted initial reaction.
