Even tho he wanted more and the two parties unified against him.
An actually progressive president can guilt their party into progress, because he’ll go to their voters and flat out say the Dems they voted for is holding the whole country back, so next primary he’s supporting a challenger.
Strangely enough, just the threat of that is often enough.
Hell, Bernie is just a senator but that didn’t stop him from going to WV and telling voters that about Manchin.
And Manchin started supporting the party more.
Worked a hell of a lot better than Bidens strategy of publicly admitting he would even try to change someone’s mind.
