Again, there is no record that I am aware of where Biden ever said “I promise… [THING].”
You’re creating a straw man by purposefully misinterpreting and misrepresenting the difference between a proposed policy and a promise.
And this will remain true regardless of how many you tube videos you post of people calling it a “promise.” This is a poor argument. You really should abandon it.
Lastly, be very careful with the “dumb” accusations. There are rules here. You may want to reword that.
Again. It wasn’t a promise. It was an initiative. It was a plan to enact policy. All politicians propose policy. This is not abnormal. He never promised, nor did he guarantee results. He simply said he intended to do what he can to refuse the debt.
It was also very publicly blocked by conservatives.
Stop making it into something it isn’t.
Lastly of course- I warned you about being civil.
The difference is you are ok with mediocracy. Im not, if you run a campaign on a promise you pull through. Its like a job interview you lie about your qualifications and get the job. I want that guy fired, you are ok with it.
Again… it wasn’t a promise. How many times does this need to be made clear to you? And it’s not like a job interview where he lied because he didn’t lie.
Do you seriously need the concept of what presidents and lawmakers do explained to you?
They don’t promise anything. Ever. Becasue that isn’t how this works.
You’re hell-bent on this agenda to frame him as a liar using this as an example where there are probably a shit ton of better examples where he actually was proven to have lied!
This is bad faith.
I have explained this to you, and you continue to side-step the point in favor of continuing on with your rhetoric.
I won’t entertain this further.
Mediocracy is not ok make all the excuses you want. The fact is biden or harris will never get this done. They will dangle it in your face every election.
Okay.. I’d wish you luck getting Trump elected, but I’d be lying. Either way-
I’ve no patience for this anymore.
Good luck to you!
