    He’s as much of a progressive president as a drop of water when someone is dying of thirst. Sure, he’s better than nothing, and he’s definitely better than the last guy (which i guess in this analogy would be a pure glass of ocean water). But what he’s done is not nearly progressive enough, and to suggest that he’s been satisfactory is a gross overstatement.

      “greatest progressive president” would be more accurate if he said “in america”.

      And yeah, Joe’s America doesn’t score well against happier nations, sure. But he’s well ahead of the recent curve.

      Given JFK’s grandson was comparing Joe to past US presidents, I’m really sure the context can be inferred.

      In a country where for years the “world series” of baseball was just a bunch of American teams, we should be ready to overlook this new assumption.
