    I think what I’ve come to realize is that Biden is a good public servant but not a great president. He’s actually shockingly good at getting things done, he’s had a much more successful term than I ever expected, but he’s such a behind the scenes guy that almost no one knows. In my opinion the president needs to be front and center with their accomplishments, their successes need to be constantly pushed to people and they need to make a point of setting the tone for the national conversation around important issues. Biden hasn’t been particularly stellar at that and it’s why people think the strongest economy in the G7 is in the shitter and why this commenter thinks he screwed the rail workers, among myriad other things.

      I personally enjoy that he is behind the scenes so to speak. What is really telling however is that the media never actually reports on these things. Atleast in your face about it, and why would they? It helps them to make others think Biden isnt helping the people.

        I mean, has Biden even taken a victory lap about this? It’s like Democrats are ashamed of their accomplishments. There’s too many people who got to see Biden being a strikebreaker but haven’t heard about the sick days. And since a Democrat told them he was still fighting, they assumed that meant what it usually does and that he’d given up forever.
