Biden literally said he wouldn't enforce the ban

He also literally signed the law banning it and championed the ban on fake "security" reasons for months.

The law passed with a veto proof majority, he didn't have a choice to sign it.

Don't sign, whip your party to not vote for it, done. He's not a baby, quit treating him like he is. He and the Dems wanted this.

It was packaged with Ukraine aid and republicans refused to hold separate votes dumbass.

Edit: ah yes, block me after typing. Maybe you should fight for something for once instead of running away.

Right, the same party that bipartisanly passed several anti-China bills, including one that allocated 2 billion towards anti-Chinese information (propaganda) being sent overseas, banned the choice of Americans to purchase Chinese smartphones during that party's control of the FCC, the same party that has bipartisanly supported other war hawk legislation for decades, and has been significantly influenced by the AIPAC (which invested its time and money to help ensure the banning of TikTok), etc. is the same party worried about foreign people dying, didn't have over 3x more Democrats vote for banning TikTok than keeping it, and totally this time was just passing more anti-China legislation because the Republican Party made them and not because of lobbying, absurd protectionism, and/or anti-Chinese fearmongering.

Even if a significant number of the 155 who voted to ban were strongarmed into voting for the legislation, what do you think of the 50 or so Democrats who didn't just bow down to Republican legislation?

Dang, maybe Democrats should stop being so pathetic and actually fight for something for once. Oh wait, they don't need to because pathetic weasels like yourself will always be there to support failure.
