    This would be a compelling argument if the Biden administration hadn’t been the most economically progressive since LBJ.

        Democratic presidents since LBJ:

        • Jimmy Carter
        • Bill Clinton
        • Barack Obama

        Which ones had a bigger record of progressive economic accomplishments than Biden? Closest one is Obama, but his Recovery Act was less than half the size of Biden’s Rescue/Infra/IRA/CHIPS packages. Biden was also more strongly pro-union and pro-regulation, and accomplished his many wins in half the time and with far narrower majorities in both houses.

      Yup, and this is why Democrats lose. They are allergic to actually supporting the party’s real accomplishments and prefer to throw stones and circle the firing squad. Democrats need to learn how to play the game. There is too much of this fart sniffing on the left these days.
