I disagree that Biden is doing a really good job. I think he is not doing enough to combat climate change, labor rights, income inequality, or human rights abuses at every level of government. His foreign policy is status quo, which isn’t good.
He’s a functioning adult with a modicum of shame, which is to say he’s worlds better than any Republican, especially Trump. He’s doing his job and making thoughtful, considered decisions. In comparison to the previous administration, that’s a grand slam, but compared to the leadership we need right now, it’s not good enough.
Unfortunately with the way congress (and SCOTUS) is, even if Biden wanted to go for-real progressive, I doubt he’d be able to do much. What we really need is a full paradigm shift that gets and keeps dems in office for a number of election cycles.
Leadership means setting the goal and making the persuasive argument. It means speaking out on issues when Congress and activist judges are pushing in the wrong direction. Governing is the slow boring of hard boards, and if you give up without trying because some people will try to stop you, then you have no business running for office.
In each of his speeches announcing his comprehensive plans for combatting climate change, income inequality, the housing crisis, and the Palestinian genoncide.

So Biden compromises to make a deal with Republicans, they backtrack so it’s Biden’s fault nothing gets done?
When did he say he gave up?
In each of his speeches announcing his comprehensive plans for combatting climate change, income inequality, the housing crisis, and the Palestinian genoncide.
That’s where he said he gives up?
Yes indeed, verbatim. Read the transcript on any of them.
