I agree. Biden was a surprisingly good President but his background was in compromise not leadership.

I see some good people coming up like Senator Whitehouse, Jamie Raskin, AOC, Jasmine Crockett and others but they are not in a position of power to effect things as they have to fight the Corporate Democrats in addition to the Republicans.
