    Legislation is often spearheaded by the President. He is the leader of the party and has the bully pulpit, so it makes sense that he would lead on the agenda.

      Wait…

      So we do want a competent person as president and it’s not enough to just block trump?

        What we want and what is possible are sadly not the same in this instance.

          The DNC can nominate anyone they fucking please.

          Just like trump isnt the only problem with the Republican party, Biden isn’t the only problem with the Dem party.

            I’m not sure the DNC is as organized a cabal of closed-door wheeler-and-dealers as you imply.
