Ok yes that's true and I do think it's a terrible sign on the deathknell of democracy, but how is that different from Trump dictating GOP policy for the last 4 years?

It isn't, many things have been unable to pass both chambers due to the 48:2:50 split in the Senate and Republican control of the house. Most of Biden's accomplishments were from 2021-2022 and changes to the agencies under the Cabinet.

But that's not really the point of the discussion, the discussion was about blaming the Biden Admin for things literally being done (or in this case explicitly not being done) by the Republican Legislators.

In fact, another great example almost exactly like this is when Biden endorsed a Border Security Bill to compromise with moderates and the GOP, Trump killed that one as well because it would have made Biden look good. LINK TO STORY
