Hot take here, judging by the company, but I think Biden’s doing great. He’s moved the federal government in a more progressive direction than any presidential administration since Lyndon Johnson, and I’m confident with more Democrats in the legislature he could do even more.
Simultaneously, the opposition has become so dangerous that it’s absolutely critical the Democratic coalition remain together. There are always going to be criticisms you can level against any leader. I certainly don’t agree with Biden 100% of the time. But if you check out the other hot takes here, making Biden out to be the devil, or saying they’ll never vote for him…those people are trying to elect Donald Trump again.
I don’t know if I’d say great, but he was considerably less disappointing than I’d feared.
Ultimately, we need an overhaul rather than incremental change - but bet your ass I’m voting Dem for every Federal office come 2024, Biden included. The overhaul the fascists promise, after all, is not one that can be reversed.
I have to admit, I was definitively in the “they’re really gonna make me vote for Joe Biden?” Camp, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. His work with the railroad union really solidified it, where sure, don’t love the strike breaking, but the post-strike negotiations end results was certainly a win for those same rail workers.

It’s the #walkaway all over again, which really was conservatives saying that they won’t vote for democrats “again”.
