Oh yes, let's never do anything good, because there might be something else even more impossible that would be better.

The point being made is that it’s infuriating to watch “good” politicians half-ass policies that, if more thoroughly implemented, would be life-changingly positive for an enormous swath of our citizenry.

It's not "half assed" it's literally "the only still possible to do after voters gave Republicans so goddamn much power".

You want real change, then fight republicans out of everything for the next 30 years.

Biden is doing what he can with what he has. He could have just said "welp, we tried" when the Supreme Court struck down his last attempt. Hell, it's what I expected him to do because he's a Democrat.

He's trying again. We need more of that.
