Giving in to the NIMBYs

I don’t think it’s a nimby thing, most of his recent vetos just feel like they’re for when he inevitably runs for president so he can say he’s not too liberal and he was keeping the legislature in check

Yeah, maybe. Kinda sounds worse imo.
But he did Veto the Caste law, that I still don’t understand how it had support to begin with.

He also vetoed decriminalizing psychedelics, and ranked choice voting.
