the most progressive president

Can I go off on Statesian political science for a bit? We like to say (and I have neither examined nor cared enough about the bluster, bluster can be fun when you're waiting for Jazz 4 to drop) that POTUS is the most powerful person in the world (because 0000 0000 I guess, and that individual office has more authority and responsibility vested into it by the Statesian public than any other Statesian individual except maybe Regent Emperor of These States United (nice to meet you)

)

Whatever their political beliefs, the scope of the actions of a Statesian president are dependent on how cooperative the courts and legislative are. If you elected Bernard Democracy Sanders, his nonunion burn down-divest-sell equivalent candidate, and they had the congress and courts we've had the last 10 years, I don't think much would have changed except Krasnov would be worse as a reaction to it. Krasnov has a cooperative judicial and legislative. I think the closest the [Statesia left] has had to a cooperative legislative was in 2009, and the courts were captured [don't remember. Let's pretend it's Scalia's fault. He deserves more blame for everything]

So like, we're calling Biden the most progressive modern US president but like, how much of that was his senate?
