the parmesantarian revealed that the powers of the presidency can only be used to do bad things, sorry sweaty Biden doesn't have the power to make sweeping changes for good only for bad
"Look I hate to be the one to tell you this but the president isn't God, he can't just do whatever he wants"
*Biden announces he's sending more arms to Isreal with or without congressional approval
"Maybe some day you'll understand that politics is about compromise, also fuck you, were not going to stop doing a genocide and you better still vote for us"
"Then how is Trump going to become Supreme Dictator if he's elected?"
"..."
"Because he doesn't limit himself with the rules we invented as excuses for why we can't do anything, and if we also stopped making excuses for why we can't do good things we'd be no different from people who do bad things."
"Even that being the case, wouldn't he need massive support from the military and upper echelons of the intelligence community? Which he doesn't have. Also I think the ruling class of this country are pretty happy with the current neoliberal order and wouldn't support Trump going full dictator."
