Actually, as a leftist, I'd say Dark Brandon has been one of the best POTUSes in recent memory. Just like Obama though, Biden has a Senate that actively shuts down most of his bills. People seem to still operate on this assumption that the Executive branch is a dictatorship.
Yes and no.
Better than recent presidents? Yes. Actually a leftist? No, Biden is far from actually being a leftist. This more points to electoralism being harm reduction for leftists, not advocacy.
The executive isn't a dictatorship, and that's another reason why meaningful change must happen at the grassroots level, not via electoralism. The system itself is designed to be extremely stable, and thus slow to change, if at all.
