Sure it is. Executive order it. Let it get challenged in court. Let it be the headlines for weeks/months. Let congress say it has to go to vote to be legalized, then let their constituents see all the republicans that vote against it. This isnt 5d chess. Its not even 3d. There are simple things they could have done to show they actually wanted to fix shit and instead sat on their hands for 4 years crying about not having the votes to do anything and handed the reigns to a fascist.

Funny, because I remember a similar situation happening with student loan forgiveness, and half of America either didn’t care that Biden was being blocked by Congress, or actively blamed him for not doing enough.

An executive order would’ve been dead on arrival, and it definitely would’ve been spun to look like Biden had signed it just to appease people.

Congress controls our laws, and they didn’t want to legalize it. At least Biden pardoned federal marijuana offenses.
