What do you want from him? Almost half the country voted for Trump. Most of Biden's voters are more moderate, but the loudest third are progressives. What's more is the Senate is controlled by Republicans and he needs them to confirm his cabinet. I think it's important to realize that he has a really tough balancing act of trying to keep everyone happy and anger no one. Give him some slack.

@physical_graffiti8671 I'm pretty sure not everyone agrees on what "doing the right thing" is. For example, devout Christians tend to have a very different idea of what "doing the right thing" is compared to scientific/mathematic people. Liberals and conservatives have very different ideas on how to help the poor. Some people think America should push democracy around the world, and other people think we should just focus on ourselves. Some people want to shift the cost of healthcare from insurance companies to the federal government, others hate the federal government and love insurance companies. Some think we should decrease physician pay to lower costs, others think you will get worse care if we do that.

@TheCEL92 Biden putting his words into action depends a lot on whether Democrats can take complete control of Congress on Jan 5. Some actions really do require a new law be passed by Congress. Even if it were a president Bernie Sanders. There is a limit to what a president can get away with by executive order. Especially with so many Trump-appointed judges around the country just waiting to strike down anything a Democrat president does. It's the same reason Obama never passed immigration reform or a climate change bill. Republicans in Congress had the power to stop it and they did. And then Republican would sue Obama to stop anything he tried to do something on his own.
