Dem Presidents don't really have much power over red state Senators anyway, in fact going against the WH is better for re-election prospects.
One of my biggest beefs w/Biden is he was there in the WH when Obama's agenda was blocked by cons over and over w/stall tactics and bad faith calls for "compromise". His willingness to play the same game these last two years and waste legislative time is at best cynical (knowing he can't do much w/the votes he has but painting a "working on bipartisan" pretty picture) or incompetent at worse (not having learned from Obama's lessons).
We know what Joe ran on, it's on the public record. If he's just being a politician and making promises he can't deliver to capture the prog vote, that's fine just don't expect that side to sit quietly or idly by (police reform after BLM & college debt being the most egregious). We saw how he did a 180 on the state of the union address on police reform. I don't have much love for the college forgiveness but I can smell the BS just the same.
I've got 3 big ones I haven't seen much progress on: voter protections, police/prison reform, and not letting Trump et.al skate (he ran on this). We're seeing some movement on the latter front tonight and I've seen Garland deliver some platitudes on the voter protection front but it's not like we got here w/o the electorate holding their feet to the fire. Joe's got plenty of EO powers, he can do plenty.
