And then there's the classic lib thought process that criticizing or not voting for Dems means voting for Trump.

    It was nothing because gas is still expensive as fuck and they did nothing about the price gouging while the oil cartels were making record profits

      What could he do - pass a law through Congress?

      Not that he would have even if he could tho, the Dems are beholden to the illuminati/whatever the same as the Repubs.

      Still, it could have been MUCH worse, arguably, under a Trump second term.

        Nationalize gas? Civil asset forfeiture? Send oil executives photos of them taken from a predator drone? Use your imagination, he's the leader of the most powerful empire the world has ever seen, he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

          Username checks out, but anyway he's still a servant to the people of the USA. Who are somewhat um... "divided" on this or any subject.

            He's a servant to the ruling class of the USA. That's why he can't/won't do anything thats good for regular people
