Donald Trump has a lot less power & Barack Obama had a lot more than many Democrats will admit.
The presidency is an incredibly important office. It cannot both be true, though, that Trump can enact whatever awful things he wants despite a divided Congress & that Obama was hamstrung by the limitations of the presidency when Democrats controlled both the House & the Senate.
Corporate Democrats' inconsistent narratives on presidential power are a product of political strategy: they feign impotence when they win to hide their ideological opposition to social justice & overhype the threat when they lose to scare you into giving power back to them.
Make sure you remember all of the ways corporate Democrats say Donald Trump will advance awful policy if he wins a second term. Then see, if Biden wins, if he uses some of those same levers of power to advance social justice causes - or if there's a lot of excuse-making instead.
