This would be completely accurate if you took the "Biden/" part out of it. I know it's a popular myth that Biden is part of this pattern, but in actuality he did:
He tried to do more on all fronts, but it's far from comical and the fact that he got that much done over stiff Republican resistance is to me pretty fuckin impressive. Example -- he tried to forgive half a trillion dollars of student loan debt through some direct executive action, and it went to the Supreme Court and they told him no.
Like I said though, I think marijuana is actually one isolated instance where that criticism that he wasn't actually trying to support full legalization / wasn't doing as much as he could to get it done might be halfway warranted. But to me that's more of an exception to his usual pattern.
