I know people think Biden was old and boring, but here's the thing: He quietly got some stuff done, didn't make a big stink about it, didn't make it all about himself. It was just basic competence.
Unfortunately, we live in a stupid world that values hype and bullshit over boring normies just doing their job.
Also, we have a culture social media activism that means you have a lot of people who would criticize Biden for being quiet about an issue but then give him no credit when he comes through.
Prime example: the railroad strike. He got a lot of flack for breaking the strike, but then he kept negotiating on their behalf and ended up getting basically everything they asked for. The news cycle had already moved on, and her didn't make any big announcement. This just happened quietly in the background and no one noticed
He kept the trains running and got the union guys their sick days, yet somehow his party 'lost touch with the working class.' Just today Republicans voted to remove his caps on overdraft fees.
