What we really need is President Biden. This is all happening thanks to him.

No on both counts. Don’t give him credit for other people’s work.

He might have been the final one to sign off on them, but cabinet appointments are decided by committee and I guarantee you that the former Senator of the most corporation-friendly state of them all wasn’t the one who suggested Lina Khan OR Lauren McFerran at the NLRB.

his policies

Again, it’s not HIS policies. Stop giving the old man with 900 years of conservative policies the credit for the stellar work of young women many times as progressive and in touch with the realities of regular people as him.

It’s not like she’s doing these things behind his back.

The progressive wing of the party might have pushed him into accepting her appointment, but he still appointed her and she’s kicking ass.

Nope, but she IS doing it without his help, so he’s not due any of the credit.

Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

Absent pressure from the progressive wing og the party, he would have chosen someone older and more palatable to his owner donors.

He does NOT deserve credit for her work just because he relented to the pressure from people more pro worker than himself.

He’s her boss and he appointed her, he does deserve credit for selecting her and sticking with her.

Yes, SHE is kicking ass based on HER work and HER policy and enforcement choices, not his.

And he’s her boss, so he deserves credit for hiring her and backing her.

You can make up all the arguments you want.

Biden was a moderate democrat in congress.

As president, he’s been far more progressive than Obama. Probably the most progressive on workers rights since FDR.

Cabinet choices matter, and he chose them.

Atleast read up about his presidency before making stuff up.

I considered blocking you the other day when you were defending the Venezeulan dictator. Given you just told me to fuck off, I think I will now.
