Words != meaning
But look at him now. Two-thirds into its first 100 days, and the Biden presidency has easily secured the right to be described as radical. Usually sober observers of the White House are going further: just two months after Biden took the oath, they are branding him a transformational president. The comparisons to Franklin D Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson have already begun. And Biden is encouraging them. Earlier this month, he sat for two hours with a group of presidential historians, pressing them hard on how FDR and LBJ had moved swiftly to make changes so profound and systemic they endure to this day. At the Thursday press conference, Biden made explicit the scale of his ambition. “I want to change the paradigm,” he said, three times.
It doesn't bother me as much when conservatives do it though, because to them it's just a combination of ignorance and slander. Libs think we should be singing hosannahs to him because "he's giving you progressives what you want" and "we're just like you".
LBJ would have probably sexually harassed the guy with "jumbo" until he approved the law or whatever that made up position does
The position didn't exist before 1935, so it prob came to be because Congress wanted to put a cap on FDR doing too much too fast.
You don't even know how right you are lmao
Senators only created the position 84 years ago, when they named Charles L. Watkins the first official parliamentarian on July 1, 1935. During the mid-1930s, the increase in New Deal legislation proposed by the Roosevelt administration made the legislative process more confusing. Senators also began to spend less time in the chamber, resulting in a decline in their familiarity with the Senate’s rules
O shit I can't do my job right because too much is happening, time to create a position to do it for me
Every single bad US "democratic" system seems to either come from the Founding Fathers or the one time someone actually did something.
he said, three times
not for emphasis mind you, he simply forgot the first two
Transformational radical = maintain the status quo but use 90s buzzwords like paradigm and disruption
This is one of those things that's so bad I want to beat my head into the wall until I can't tell what reality is.
M-M-M-M-M-MASTERCLASS!
You always know someone is bullshitting when they use that word.
I wonder who this is for. Is this to coddle libs and bad faith centrists or is it to secretly rule up conservatives to build a mid term backlash out of nothing.
Honestly 2 birds 1 article with that.
I mean who the fuck reads a British rag anyway? This shit has next to zero influence in American society so 90% of the target audience are TERF islanders who want to pretend they know a lot about US politics because they can name the current president.
I fucking hate the Guardian more than any other right wing rag.
Not interested in reading the article; what radical accomplishments do they list?
cut child poverty by half.
covid vaccine rollout
MIGHT fend off Republican voter suppression efforts
