Right now, with the way Congress is divided, there is zero chance of a public option passing into law.
The President only has so much political capital that he can spend. Spending that political capital on something guaranteed not to happen seems like a bad idea, unless there is nothing else left to spend it on.

I don't think they do.
It was a failed agenda that was publically destroyed by his own party. Everyone understood in 2020 before Biden took office that all roads led through Joe Manchin. That Biden The Senate Whisperer or whatever didn't sit down with him and Sinema week one and find out what they wanted to play ball is political malpractice. He totally failed to use any leverage, which he undoubtedly had
Executive orders seem a lot like laws when you are subject to them, I think you will find

The show does have a positive effect on me as silly as that sounds. Ted's positivity is "over the top" but it shows that positivity can have a disarming effect on those hostile to you. Add to it that it also shows that "happy" people can be also dealing with with problems like anxiety.

The president supported a public option where is that? Why is he not using his bully pulpit for his own plans and yet are silent. It's just a sad joke of performative gestures that a lot of us are sick of. Do something instead.
Trust me the local dsa and i spend a lot of time on parts 2 and 3 of your post don't worry about that.

You realize the things you link prove my point right? The build back better, was an agenda that had to go through congress. Executive orders are not new laws, they are operating within the current laws. Hence why some orders get haltes by judges.

No, ad hominem is speech that addresses the identity of the speaker (like if their faith is good or bad, again, whatever that could possibly mean here) and in that sense could even be complimentary

I expect the President should really wave his magic wand and get Congress to budget full coverage to fund mental health and universal healthcare, right?
Go elect more Congress people who actually support your issues and care and they might get funded.
(Don’t forget to vote for them in Primaries so they are there to vote for in the General Election)

Solid move using a show for the people who have enough money to pay for Apple TV who also likely have money for private therapists.

If your mental health is totally dependent on the policies of the US govt, then you've set yourself up for trouble. Externalizing the sources of your discontent with issues that you have zero power over is a losing strategy for mental health.
I encourage you to cut back on your time spent on these subjects, and refocus on things nearer to you. Friends, family, your neighbors.
