Biden's no Superman, but he's no Pooperman either

Change is not inherently slow, there's just a vested interest by those with power granted by the status quo to stop it or slow it as much as possible. They don't want it to change unless they can ensure they keep their power (or expand on it) with the change.

I love how you took all the criticisms I had and then just repeated them back at me as if they were justifications.

Like, oh wow, look at those extremely marginal, far-too-little-far-too-late incremental changes that do nothing to address the fundamentally broken parts of the healthcare system.

I didn't say he wasn't doing anything at all, I said he doesn't push for what is actually needed. He has the bully pulpit, and he won't use it. He won't make executive orders that force the issue and make congress reply. He isn't wielding power, he is just marking time, giving the bare minimum concessions to make gullible fools believe he's worth their support, and then he'll hand power right back to the fascists when it's their turn again, as it inevitably will be.

Actual progress was always won by mass action. It was fought and bled for, and it doesn't matter what kind of politician they are, they will kill to stop it because they depend on the political system for their power, and mass action threatens that system.

The rate of change is mostly set by the population. It's historically slow, because the majority is usually slow to adapt. Change can also be fast (e.g. revolutions), when leadership is completely out of touch with reality.
