      I don’t get why people keep trying to boost Newsom. He has no chance. There are plenty of democrats who could do a better job in an election than him.

          Biden at least has had empowering unions as his legacy and that is where the real base of democratic power has historically been from, it’s where most progressive policies originally spawned and where future change might be demanded. He’s setting up the future for a lot more collective action. But it remains to be seen if that’s the right call. But it’s not a bad tactical decision, it’s one for the future.

          Add to that his environmental green new deal policies in the infrastructure bill, and he hasn’t been a bad president.
