    Unfortunately with the way congress (and SCOTUS) is, even if Biden wanted to go for-real progressive, I doubt he’d be able to do much. What we really need is a full paradigm shift that gets and keeps dems in office for a number of election cycles.

      Leadership means setting the goal and making the persuasive argument. It means speaking out on issues when Congress and activist judges are pushing in the wrong direction. Governing is the slow boring of hard boards, and if you give up without trying because some people will try to stop you, then you have no business running for office.
