And “this guy” thinks the Democrats should have got rid of the filibuster and pack the court. It’s just not something Biden can unilaterally accomplish.

Let's talk about the objection to unpacking the court...

Have followed him for a while. The video doesn’t discuss presidential authority to appoint justices to the Supreme Court, which is what is referenced in the post.

The video I linked at least discusses the authority to do a thing vs having immunity for doing a thing
