Biden seems to do a lot of things that don’t get much attention or unfairly get bad attention. For example he drastically reduced number of drone strikes (trump actually increased them after Obama, but blocked reporting).
When he lifted sanctions on NS2 he got a lot of bad flak, some even from democrats. Only months later we learned that Russia was planning attack on Ukraine and he was doing it to repair our relationship with Germany. He managed to persuade them to drop it themselves which is how we supposed to deal with allies.
“Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."
I’m glad yo hear that not everything has to be a show, but this would be a great message to get out to the progressive democrats
I’m a bit torn on it. Yes it would be good to publicize, but I really like that he prioritized getting shit done over publicizing it. That’s what good leaders should do.
Arguably, this is something that progressive Democrats should be aware of if they truly care about the issue, and aren’t just looking for talking points.
See if that’s true that’s sad because that is the best possible outcome and I haven’t heard a damn thing about it.

Why not do both? The executive branch can walk and chew gum.
I guess it’s naive idealism on my part.
