I agree.

When he accidentally does the right thing, it's likely more a result of it having been an easy win that nobody was paying attention to, like the farm bill, and things like the pandemic response being bigger than his administration. American Capital needed COVID assistance to keep workers alive just enough to not disrupt the cash flow. There isn't a single president who could have singlehandedly changed how it was handled at first.

His "what's in it for me?" Attitude towards foreign policy has moved leftism a couple of inches toward the goal of anti imperialism a couple of times. Even though it came from a selfish position. I have a hard time sussing out what the parties positions are anymore. Then I remember how it is entirely vibes based, and the parties will switch back and forth on support for big issues, but will keep moving full steam ahead to funnel all resources to the top, with bipartisan support.
