    If she does the “now that I’m in office I’m going to start trying to find out if I can do anything”

    Not sure what you’re trying to say with this. Are you saying she shouldn’t try to do anything? If so what is the point of electing her? As I see it, it’s the exact opposite and she should immediately try to accomplish some goals. Why wait?

      That she shouldn’t just put her feet up after the election like Biden did

      If she wins in November, then she needs to have a plan ready in January for at least some things to get moving.

      Like, Biden said he’d de-criminalize cannabis federally to get votes. Then in January declared he’d “look into it’” and stalled till we lost the House in midterms and said he couldnt. Which still wasn’t true.

      Shit like that depresses Dem turnout.

      I thought the last line was as simple as I could make it…

      She needs to start doing shit to help Americans day 1.

        Right, which is why I found the one sentence I quoted strangely at odds with the rest of what you said. Most of your comment suggests she should get started right out of the gate, and then that one seems to say she shouldn’t.

        IMO If she doesn’t already know what she can do by that time, she had darn well better start finding out ASAP so she can get it done immediately…

        Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Overall I agree heavily with what you are saying. I really was hoping for the feeling of whiplash when Biden took office because I expected him to drop like 20 executive orders on day 1 to undo the worst of the worst Trump shit. No reason not to have that shift drafted and ready to go before inauguration. But it didn’t really play out that way.

        I hope hope hope that if they manage to take back the White House and Congress that the democrats have an agenda ready to rock and roll because that otherwise it’s hard to maintain enthusiasm from the public when it seems like not much is happening.

          I just thought it was me.

          But for some reason a lot of people seem to be getting confused with what I’m saying today.

          It ain’t even just political stuff.
