"Democrats were stymied for nearly three years because they did not take majority control of the five-member FCC until October."

Biden's first pick got held up in the Senate for a couple years and then replaced in 2023, until that seat was filled nothing was gonna happen.

No way, everyone knows that Biden can easily change all of the federal government whenever he wants to but just chooses not to because he's a big meanie and only ever does anything so that he's just 1% less bad than Trump.

Yeah Biden definitely should have nominated someone earlier, then that person could have been waiting for an even longer time before finally getting confirmation and that would definitely result in something being different.
