    I didn’t expect lollypops and ice cream when Biden was elected but if you really look at his accomplishments, he is doing a really good job. Certainly the MSM isn’t reporting it so you have to dig to find it, and it’s there.

      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.

          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.
