    While I wish Biden did more, he did get a ton of fantastic policy through.

    Anything that helped the people too much was stymied by Manchin and Sinema (arguably the list would continue with centrists peeling off from Democrats) and the supreme court.

    Hopefully a landslide win happens and meaningful legislation is quickly passed. Bringing gov’t programs up to speed for helping the middle class would probably cement democratic leadership for at least a decade

      You mean legislation that he didn’t veto?

      If that counts in his pro column, then everything else that didn’t pass goes in the con column.

      Biden himself wouldn’t shut up about how he couldn’t change someone’s mind even if they had a D by their name. So I’m interested in how you take that comment and rationalize giving him credit for how they vote.

      I mean. He literally said it would be useless for him to try so why should he try… Then you want to clap for him because he didn’t veto something?
