minus-square@Viking_Hippielink3•edit-21 month ago It’s not like she’s doing these things behind his back Nope, but she IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit. The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass. Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his. Absent pressure from the progressive wing og the party, he would have chosen someone older and more palatable to his owner donors. He does NOT deserve credit for her work just because he relented to the pressure from people more pro worker than himself.

minus-square@Viking_Hippielink-2•1 month agoThat’s not actively backing her. You have a very distorted view of the relationship between a boss and an employee. Hiring her for a job she’s qualified for on the advice of others and then not firing her is a passive lack of opposition at best, NOT active support.
