Seems kind of undemocratic to ignore the demands of the people that voted for you.

He was elected on the pretense that he would cancel student loans, stop covid, fix healthcare, stop the border camps, etc. But he hasn't done any of those things.

Pretty sorry democracy the US has. Some free country should liberate them.

How come republican presidents don't need both houses of Congress and the supreme Court to advance their legislative agendas?

Because their legislation is usually "nothing". And they DO need both. What they've also done is compromise: they give Democrats something they want and in turn get tax breaks for the rich.

why did you say "tax breaks for the rich" twice
