    TLDR: Biden had the trifecta but still had to negotiate with the right due to the filibuster. Therefore some right wing policies like reducing welfare, SNAP, and unemployment benefits have succeeded post-COVID. This is Biden’s fault and he should feel bad.

        I was writing a TLDR and intending to make the point that the author of this article seems to think that it’s Biden’s fault even though I can’t fathom how one might draw that conclusion given the policies the author’s mad about are right wing policies specifically negotiated for by Mitch McConnell due to the filibuster which neutered Biden’s trifecta. Apologies for causing confusion!
