That they aren’t promises but goals.

Why use the word “promise” then? Is this Newspeak?

You’ve already been told this in an earlier reply by someone else.

They promise what they’ll do. They don’t say try to do because that’s been tested in marketing and certainty sounds better.

President’s aren’t dictators, but they do have an amount of control of pushing for specific legislation, and the big “promises” are about trying to push this legislation.

Other promises can get stalled even if it’s within the president’s authority, like Biden’s student debt relief was stalled by the Supreme Court.

I think the student relief is a good example of his team making an effort to keep the promise, rather than marijuana where they’re barely trying.

When bidens relief was blocked, they immediately went back to the drawing board and started pushing alternative relief seriously.

He could be doing so much more for marijuana if he wanted to. Maybe he’s saving it for right before the election which is terrible if so as there are lots of people being prosecuted and losing jobs today. Holding it for an election bump would further show his lack of sincerity in the promise or goal.
