Our government is designed to balance power amongst competing branches, so no radical changes can be made in a short time. It is designed to be slow and ponderous, and not rush to adopt whatever the latest fad is.

That's why Obama's second term was so ineffectual; Republicans owned the Senate and held a single solitary belief and policy: anything Obama said was bad and should be quashed.

Obama, on the other hand, thought that it was possible to negotiate with the neighborhood bully, and - if he accepted enough punches to the mouth - they would acquiesce on a few of his key policy initiatives.

And that gamble didn't pay out. Because he was working with morally bankrupt peons within the performative arm of the GOP, like John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and other people who carry water for the big money interests that actually control the politicians and their positions. (See: The Heritage Foundation. And the shadowy organization that works in the background to position key individuals for Supreme Court seats, and has a 100% success rate... but I am blanking on their name right now...)

So.

Biden can have all the plans he wants, and all the proposals he wants, and all the ideas he wants.

He still needs to win the Presidency, Democrats keep the House, AND Democrats win the Senate, before any of his proposals will EVER BE READ. The Senate Majority Leader (aka Mitch McConnell) decides on the agenda items the Senate will address, every single day. If he decides not to add Biden's plan to the agenda, it never comes to a vote, and can never be passed or made into law. Boom. Headshot. Dead plan.

If the Dems take the Senate, they get the item on the Agenda, it gets voted on, and hopefully passes. (Fuck you Rand Paul.) Then, once implemented, every single element in the plan will be fought by Republican partisan lawyers, working carefully crafted cases, through Trump-appointed lower judges, up to the fully partisan and GOP-held Supreme Court... where the policies/plans and everything Biden ever does will be ruled unconstitutional and repealed by the Supreme Court. (Which they can do now to ANYTHING, after their ruling last week in Wisconsin; the Supreme Court is now the ONLY ruler in the land, and is completely owned by the people behind the GOP machine.)

Until the Electoral College is abolished, the Supreme Court is increased to 15 (or more) judges, and Trump's judges are removed/die-off from the lower courts, no Biden policy will be actionable.

Because, in the end, every businessman responsible for their annual budget expenditures knows this is how it is going to go. So even if Biden were to sign the Green New Deal into law on January 21st, NOBODY will take any action to put the plan into place because they know that it will be tied up in the courts for 4-12 years before even the first step can be taken. (See: The ACA.)

It all comes down to how our system was designed; slow, ponderous, and difficult to change direction. And the GOP's puppetmasters who have mapped out their plan in the background to pervert the basic premise of majority rule in our democracy.

So I say, Good for Biden for having a plan!

But it is too little, too late. The Republicans already have a plan, they have executed on it, and now we live in their world for the next two decades, or so.

And we are stuck there until progressives start punching conservatives in the mouth for being dicks. And that ain't never gonna happen.
