    Criticizing a President/candidate for things he hasn’t done is pretty ineffective, because the easy answer is, “the other party is blocking him.” Most of your criticisms require a five minute conversation to articulate your position, because they’re actually hard policy questions, and don’t fit into a TV soundbite: they’re a whole other category than “He’s too old,” or “He’s sexually assaulted 18 women.”

      Exactly, his flaws that fit into TV sound bites and headlines are the ones that get brought up the most…

      That doesn’t mean the rest magically don’t exist and people don’t care about them.

      That’s just the reason they dont get brought up the most.

      And the other party would try to block them, but at least Biden could be trying so instead of a hypothetical he could point at when and where they blocked it.

      Progressives dont want everything fixed immediately, I mean, it’d be nice.

      But we’re not used to getting stuff, a president who tries is more than enough to get us excited.

      Which is why it’s so frustrating Biden doesn’t even try
