    Go back in time a bit and see that earlier incremental step that Biden took on weed, you’ll probably fine the exact same comment about “If we actually do the next step” - and now here we are.

    He needs to do more, but he’s doing enough on most things and the alternative is a black hole

      We need to keep the pressure on. If we were satisfied with “Ugh, fine! We’ll look into it if it’ll shut you up,” we wouldn’t be here.

        Nobody said anything about taking pressure off. The point is to take a clear moment to accept and acknowledge progress, and then keep pushing for more.

        This is not that tone, this is more about people shitting on not getting the entire cake while they are eating a slice of it. You can want the whole cake, but if you miserably eat it slice by slice without enjoying each, before you know it you’ve eaten the whole cake you’ve wanted, never enjoying it, and the only thing you have to show for it is a stomach ache and a vague feeling that you never got what you wanted (when again, that whole cake is in your gut at that point).
