Why would your teens think Biden is ineffectual? My son is 30 and thinks Biden is doing a great job.

My kids belong to the very left wing of the party. The delusional wing, that still believes a pol has to live up with their preferences 100% before theyтАЩll give credit/support. I hope/pray/assume they will grow out of it with age & experience.

That's what's wonderful about young people. They think they discovered the truth about everything and are so sure and self righteous. It's beautiful to see even though you know they will eventually have to face reality at some point in their lives.

Off the top of my head, a lack of (what they see as) meaningful action regarding climate change, the failure of the student loan forgiveness, being moderately pro-Israel, and an ongoing affordable housing crisis. I'm actually generally content with how Biden has handled all of this, but a lot of younger people aren't interested in the relatively moderate gains we've made.

I don't think the student loan forgiveness failure was all Biden's fault....

No, it wasn't, but unfortunately as President he is going to attract most of the blame (or appreciation) for events that were out of his control.
