    Biden is still a centrist, also known as a fascist enabler.

    The man is not for labor, see ending the railroad strike, one of the most infuriating moves a so-called great president could perform.

    If he truly wanted to do great things, and not be hindered by the backing of capital, he’d be moving fast and breaking things more than the previous administration. He’s not.

      I think you’re wanting him to be more like LBJ, using his political power to drag reluctant congress members along, and you’re right, someone like that would have gotten more done. But LBJ wasn’t perfect either, and the LBJ approach isn’t the only way to get things done. Another way is more bottom up, get the support in congress and then just have a president who’s willing to go along. I’m guessing that’s probably AOC’s intention, to bring liberals and leftists together so we can present a unified front and get majorities in congress.

      But yeah, I agree about the railroad strike. Also the vaccine patents. He’s not perfect.
