The most productive POTUS in a century

[exGOPer]

I mean, batting average isn't that great as is w/current kid gloves. Gotta risk a little to gain a lot here (plus it's morally warranted). We know holding budget bills hostage always get resolved and neither Sinema nor Manchin have the stomach for those fights imo.

I dont see what incentive Sinema or Manchin have to support standalone progressive bills, it doesn't align with their personal politics or help them in their respective states.

Biden's numbers only went down when inflation numbers hit hard and may go back up in next few months with better economic news.

Bidens approval ratings started their decent 3 months after he took office

That's very common, popularity peaks at inaugration and starts going down, troughs are made during mid term election and then it crawls up near re-election.

Higher starting point for Obama but the descent and trend looks exactly the same.

Throwing "progressive" on bills bugs me. "for the people's act", sure, progressive; "John Lewis act" was basically taking us back to better times b4 SCOTUS rid us of some protections. Reverting tax rate to Obama levels isn't "progressive", just going back to where we were. Reinstating financial oversight is just that. A lot of what gets called progressive is just dems trying to claw back things that we had & lost at some point.

Obama barely touched upside down approval /disapproval at this point,Biden has been there for months.Obama was never 16 points upside down

But those are things most Dems support and they do get support like it did last week.

By progressive I mean bills like complete student loan forgiveness or 'defund the police' kind of nonsense.

Fine.But dont say you will forgive student debt and support police reform when running for office.

I don't agree with blanket student loan forgiveness, there are far more desperate people who need help and loan forgiveness will only inflate student loan scam.
