The parliamentarian gives an advisory opinion that Kamala Harris could have chosen to overrule and yet she didn't and there are conclusions to be drawn from that. Had she chosen to do that, the $15 dollar minimum wage would have been left in the Covid relief bill and it would have been harder for these 8 Senators to vote the way they did because this is a must-pass bill for Democrats. But that kind of approach implies that one is honest in terms of the policy set one supports and I can't say that workers' rights are something she and Biden support if they won't actively fight for a significant wage increase.MagnarTheGreat wrote: ↑March 5th, 2021, 7:33 pmIt just shows the votes to fight the parliamentarian don’t exist. They also removed some other spending the parliamentarian objected to, it wasn’t just included the wage in the COVID bill.
Biden backs new war powers vote in Congress, White House says
“President Joe Biden intends to work with Congress to repeal the war authorizations that have underpinned U.S. military operations across the globe for the past two decades and negotiate a new one that reins in the open-ended nature of America’s foreign wars, the White House said Friday.”
Sounds like a decent start to me.
Biden saying something and him actually doing something are different things. He'll get credit when he actually accomplishes significant change in terms of US foreign policy and so far it's been a bad start with that recent strike in Syria, as multiple Democrats questioned the legality and proportionality of that military action tbh.
