No, I'm just saying that he's failing on a good chunk of his promises already. Some of the EOs have been good, but it's largely been exactly what I expected. The "return to normal" that does dick all for working people.

Bernie isn't the president, so it's time to stop using him as a whataboutism. If he was the president and failing to get anything done while holding both wings of Congress, I'd be all over him, too.

Biden supporters kept trumpeting his agenda as the most progressive in U.S. history. That's nice, but you have to actually follow through on those progressive elements if you want credit for them.
