But if Biden can just ignore congressional oversight, what will this do? Can someone sue to enforce oversight?

He's currently behind the mango Mussolini in the polls and, other than "at least I'm not the other guy" being a much less effective strategy for an incumbent than a challenger no matter how awful the challenger is, this is the main reason.

Biden may be a corrupt right wing reactionary, but he's not enough of a fool that he's not beginning to realize the fact that he probably has to change course on this or run a very high risk of losing the last fair and open US presidential election.

I'm voting for Trump just to piss off biden supporters.

If they have a problem with me doing that, they can nominate someone who represents my interests.

I'm gonna wear a big shirt if Trump wins that says, "I voted for Trump because democrats nominated Biden."

Or just insult me, that'll work wonders.

Eh, it's more about choosing to lose slowly vs. choosing to lose quickly.

Either way we lose, which is what the lesser-evil means. At least with Trump winning, people might change their strategy to prevent similar wins in the future.

Biden winning means that the lesser-evil is still in style and we have no reason to address the root of society's problems.

I'm sorry you need to resort to personal insults, but that just tells me you're not confident about your point.

Wen you elect fascists they don't always allow free and fair elections in the future so this "similar wins int he future" clause is ignorant. Especially when the fascist in question already attempted one coup to stay in power when he lost an election.

voting for a fascist is voting against future elections... just giving power to those who must never, ever, have it.
