Found this thread about why leftists/progressives make rotten teammates.
It’s because they never give this Administration their due. If it’s not 100% perfect, then it really didn’t happen and wasn’t accomplished.
Some sabotage of President Biden and his Administration doesn’t only come from the right:

It was intentionally & aggressively designed to be the most progressive economic agenda in modern history — a recovery that would empower unions, reach full employment, raise real wages *most* for the least well-off, redirect us toward a green economy, & close racial gaps. (5/9)

Against all odds, a huge portion of this ambitious plan made it through Congress. And then: it worked! We very quickly went from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to the biggest jobs boom in history! Real wages rose, & rose highest for the lowest earners! (6/9)

The gap between rich & poor got smaller! The racial wealth gap closed by 60%! The U.S. economy grew much faster & saw the least inflation of any major economy on Earth! Unemployment hit all-time lows, even as the stock market hit all-time highs! To say nothing of… (7/9)

… record climate investments, a slew of major union victories, & too many other progressive wins to count. None of it was an accident, & none of it was easy. Principled, determined people busted their asses to make it happen — they lost some fights, but won a lot more. (8/9)

So for clowns like Adam McKay — who can’t be bothered to acknowledge the reality, because they think a virtuous ideology gives them license to skip that part — to do nothing at this pivotal moment but spread misinformation & gloom… well, it just fucking sucks. That’s all. (9/9)

They completely dismiss all the accomplishments of the Biden/Harris Administration, because they don’t see 100% of the objectives THEY deem are important.
GTFOH

I will not see the work of the Biden/Harris Administration diminished, because you are too narrow minded to acknowledge it.

Yes, maybe now it doesn't feel the same. 

Maybe now everything has changed and shifted to the places once unknown to us. 
Places so distant that now we feel closer as strangers than we ever felt as we did together. Maybe each day my feelings have evolved into emotions that I never thought my brain could possibly possess. 

But maybe now it somehow all feels better. 

Maybe now everything is how it always should have been.

“What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.”
