You mean like hoods executive order that was blocked by courts? I’m not saying he’s the biggest trans ally but saying he’s done almost nothing is unfair imo
How many states did he let pass harmful legislation before doing that? Or was the plan always to wait until the election cycle for that order? An election cycle EO that can’t pass the courts is indeed almost nothing.
Of course if you remove words you change the context but that’s entirely grammatically correct and a common use of that phrase. If you wanna dwell on what those words mean in other context go ahead but that’s not saving any trans kids.
If were to assume that EO is Joe fighting back, then he did indeed let those laws pass without fighting back until it was an election season. Context is important and I usually don’t have to explain every word like its a middle school English class unless I’m responding to republicans reading my statements in bad faith.
I think in the context of legislation, interpreting “let pass” to mean “allow to be signed into law” is understandable. But I see you just meant it chronologically.
There’s a lot to criticize about the dems and Bidens administration, that’s for certain. One thing we can say is that even though it hasn’t been the best ally to LGBTQ+ community as it could be, the alternative is an enemy and great threat to all marginalized people. Trump will most definitely work to ban any sort of gender affirming care.
The DNC deserves criticism for sure, and I completely agree with calling out it’s bullshit. They need to do better and/or we need better options, for sure. They should be our most conservative party in an ideal world.
Criticize, loudly even, just please don’t throw away your vote. I’m afraid people’s apathy is going to get an actual enemy elected.
I’ll be at the polls. As important as the presidential is this year the locals always have a large impact on a lot of non insignificant things, and sometimes massively significant things, as well as the ballot initiatives. In almost any race I can respect the choice of abstention, but if you don’t show up for at least the ballot initiatives, the closest thing the US has to direct democracy, then I just think you’re not even trying to make democracy work. I know I can’t say the gym isn’t working if I’m not even trying to use the equipment.

“let pass”… . is there some major confusion about how presidential vetoes work here, or what do you even mean?

Let’s get pedantic and semantic then shall we. https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/let-pass
The context was always how much was he wiling to allow before he responded and the answer is a lot.
