Lot of really unpleasant, stupid and evil people replying to these tweets.

There are a LOT of good things Biden could do with a stroke of his pen, that he won't, and this is just one of them.

He won't do them because he's a far worse person than Ryan or Greenwald. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1357494326545305602
Whatever Greenwald's responsibility (less than most think, but not zero), the person who can free Winner is Biden.

But Biden has a crazed hate for leakers (he was the heavy who threatened countries over Assange) so it's very unlikely.
Biden was a prime mover behind the bankruptcy bill, which is the primary cause of the student debt crisis. He could forgive $50k now (or more) with the stroke of a pen, and doesn't.

Why? Beccause he's an evil piece of shit.

But you hate Ryan and Greenwald more.
The Patriot Act was based on a bill Biden tried to pass in the 90s.

Biden was against racial integration of schools.

Biden pushed the Iraq war, hard.

Biden is, in every way that matters, a far worse person than Grim or Greenwald, but you're all authoritarian bootlickers.
Harris, by the way, whom so many people seem to worship, deliberately went out of her way to imprison people she knew were innocent.

These are the people who run America. Greenwald, even if he's as bad as his worse critics say, isn't a pimple on their ass in terms of evil.
And yes, Biden can free Reality Winner as soon as he wants to. The work involved is telling an aide to have lawyers draw up the papers, then signing them.

It's 10 seconds of work for him. He doesn't do it because he doesn't want to.
This, by the way, is why politicians who have the unilateral power to do something don't do it: they don't WANT to.

Biden doesn't want to forgive 50K student debt, pardon Assange/Snowden/Winner and so on.

That's why he doesn't do those things.
Your politicians do evil because they want to, and they don't do good because they don't want to. As a class, that is the entire reason and your making excuses for them is pathetic.
And yes, in many ways Trump was worse. So what? Satan is worse than Beelzebub but I don't want either of them running my country.

You had a choice to vote for someone good, by the name of Sanders, but a plurality of you prefer evil.

Accept that fact.
