The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.

“You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen,” Biden said. “So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”

Biden touted the bipartisan border bill as “a win for the American people,” calling it a “truly bipartisan initiative.” He called on the Senate to reconsider the bill, asking senators to “set politics aside” and for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to put the bill on the floor.

“We need to act,” Biden said, adding that Republicans in Congress needed to “show a little spine.”

    Yet we can see plenty of bad faith arguers constantly on this site just as we see it on Reddit and every other social media platform, because it’s an effective strategy to undermine topics and induce indifference, maybe you should tell all of the foreign intel agents, white supremacists, and Christian Nationalists that “this shit needs to stop”.

    I just don’t feel like the dude I’m replying to is arguing in good faith, he was quick to try and insult and seems determined to disregard portions of my replies to them. I have no problem with articulating criticism of Biden, but to call a political play aimed at the Republicans “lying to the American people” is as disingenuous as it freaking gets, or as naive as it gets.

      these kind of people have found the fediverse to be unwelcoming since its inception. they are not who you are arguing with: you are tilting at windmills.

        Oh because Tankies that horseshoe theory applies to don’t exist? Plenty of those shitheads are Russian bootlickers who also support white supremacy and other conservative BS. Also as if white supremacists or Nazis or whatever won’t lie on the Internet, I mean they’re only widely known for their lying on the Internet and constant infiltration of places that don’t want them.

        You’re sounding as naive as the other guy.
