President Biden has reinvigorated the government’s role as the nation’s most important investor.

it is Mr. Biden’s reinvigoration of the government’s role as the nation’s most important investor that may endure as a turning point in the nation’s political and economic history.

Investments, like saplings, do not yield immediate fruit, and Mr. Biden has struggled to generate public enthusiasm for these long-term strategies.

    Biden isn’t doing exactly the things I want. He’s doing some things I kind of want, or at least strongly prefer over what I might have expected him to do, and vastly prefer over what Trump would do, while also doing some things I think are very bad. He’s probably the most progressive president of my lifetime, but that’s more an indictment of politics in my lifetime than an endorsement of Biden. He not only isn’t doing, but has actively opposed doing what the best science available tells us we need to do in order to prevent the worst outcomes of the climate crisis, which is pretty terrifying. Ultimately, he could literally kill more people than any world leader in history, yet he’s still the best viable option. So yep, you got me: we gotta vote for him, even if he sucks.
