Biden was a compromise candidate. He’s a mainstream Democrat. He’s part of the “system.”
But I do believe he’s doing a better job with COVID than Trump would have—which isn’t saying much.

Biden to allow eviction moratorium to expire Saturday
From what I can see, Trump's SCOTUS has denied Biden the authority to extend the moratorium by executive order (my loose interpretation). Of course, as everybody hates Biden because he's not either The Donald or Bernie, I can't expect anybody to give him the benefit of the doubt.
So please carry on with your hand-wringing.
Quote:
The White House said President Joe Biden would have liked to extend the federal eviction moratorium due to spread of the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus. Instead, Biden called on “Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay.”
“Given the recent spread of the delta variant, including among those Americans both most likely to face evictions and lacking vaccinations, President Biden would have strongly supported a decision by the CDC to further extend this eviction moratorium to protect renters at this moment of heightened vulnerability,” the White House said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has made clear that this option is no longer available.”

The Democrats did nothing to really fight Trump's SC picks. They approved them all. They are worthless!
Even the so called "progressives" in the Democratic Party do nothing but talk about stuff like Medicare For All, then when a grassroots movement like #forcethevote comes along, and the rally last weekend, they're nowhere to be seen. But I guess they keep people deluded that someday they might actually fight for progressive issues. It will never happen.
Why should someone with such an abysmal record get the benefit of the doubt? I didn't expect anything from him, and so far I was right. He has alteady dropped bombs on Syria twice. That I expected and I am glad I didn't vote for him.
The only real hope for the U.S. is a massive grassroots movement behind a third-party. Otherwise, this country will continue to circle the drain.
You can't trust politicians on either side of the political divide.

Biden calls on Congress to extend eviction moratorium set to expire Saturday
I should point out though that the YT video the OP linked simply meant to attack Biden. I have noticed over the years that narcissistic third-party voters, who delight in scolding the rest of us for not understanding there's no real difference between the two major US political parties, seem to invest most of their intellectual energy into attacks on Democrats, usually labelling them as both "neocons" and "neolibs" as though affixing such labels to their target ends the discussion. Rarely do they seem to see any need to criticize Republicans. Coincidence?
BTW I know some of these people IRL.
It's a shame a couple of non-US citizens chose to seize upon this and discuss it as though it were something to be taken seriously.

The scolding is valid because it's the truth. All you have to do is look at the complete continuity between Dem and Pub adminstrations. On top of that, Dems actually do more damage because, just like what's happening now, the media gives them complete cover and the left just goes to sleep.
Nice try at demonizing third-party party voters. It's tired, boring, and you're playing right into the hands of the propagandists.
If Biden actually does extend the moratorium, he'll get credit from me. But I don't see it happening.
For some, facts are not as important as morality.

Maybe that was too strong of a word, but that's the impression I get as a non-American. It was even more pronounced when he first took office. It's nice to know he's considered as a normal politician with flaws. Everyone is only human.
A lot of people passionately supported Biden, but mainly just because he wasn't Trump. The election was a fight between those who hated Trump and those who loved Trump. In either case, it was all about Trump.
You are one of the more reasonable progressives.
Consider yourself blessed that you have my approval.

While I like Uncle Joe, clearly he is showing significant signs of the development of dementia.
I found your comment quite ironic.
But yes, America doesn't need a narcissist as the president.

Agreed on the need for a massive grassroots movement, but I don't think a third party is the answer.
We just need more a lot more successful elections of progressive Democrats like AOC, in Congress, in state legislatures, and various local offices. Once there are enough progressive Democrats elected to Congress and various local offices, it will then become feasible to elect one as President as well -- at least if we don't have a right wing coup.
But electing enough progressives to political office will be possible only if there is a massive, well-organized grassroots progressive movement independent of any political party apparatus.
AOC is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she is young.
Giver her another 10 years of life experience.

But will the country as we know it still be here? When society collapses, and it will soon, those crazy preppers will seem sane!
It's coming, baby! The whole thing is coming down! Get ready!
Alright, that may have been one too many hits.
