Biden has delivered on most of his main campaign promises: control COVID, restore the economy, invest in green infrastructure, and lower drug prices. His main broken promise was to reform immigration.
He has forgiven over $100 billion in student debt, as well as spent over $3 billion on HBCU debt relief / tuition breaks. I also credit him with the recent upswing in union membership, due to aggressive lawsuits by the NLRB against Starbucks, Tesla, etc (and yes those actions more than outweigh his handling of the BNSF strike).
He didn’t raise the minimum wage, but raising the minimum wage has been part of the DNC platform since at least 1988 (when Dukakis ran). I don’t fault him for not having the necessary Senate supermajority, same as every other president.
The current strategy is not “shut up and vote for us while we start WWIII” (for one thing, very few people are worried about WW3). If anything, the current strategy is “We delivered a lot of things that Democrats wanted”. Which is true, even if the message isn’t getting out.
Finally, of course I hold the DNC accountable for winning elections. They have exceeded my expectations on that part, I would not expect >50% of vote in nearly all national elections. They got a majority even when running less charismatic candidates like Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.
And if Biden provided a few things I wanted (he has) and Democrats are still capable of winning a majority of the vote (they are) then I don’t care at all about the inner workings of the party.
