albaby1: Or draw much of a contrast with Trump, who similarly presided over a pretty good economy (by conventional measures) until Covid kicked in, but with lower interest rates and lower prices.

Right. How lucky for Biden that COVID was long gone when he assumed the presidency.

albaby1: The only area that the Administration really went all-in on progressive priorities was in climate change...

Yeah, too bad he got zero student debt cancellation, didn't expand ACA coverage access, no TPS, no gun safety legislation, didn't walk the picket line with union workers.

But here's the deal: no president achieves every goal in a first term.

If progressives think they'll be better off with Trump back in the White House, then they can sit at home, not vote, vote for a third-party candidate in protest, or whine and complain that Biden isn't progressive enough.

Or they can mobilize, coalesce, and work to reelect the only candidate who might actually help them push for the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, expanding Social Security, paid family leave, the care agenda, a $15 minimum wage, and fair taxes on the rich.

This ain't exactly rocket science here.
