Him and every other dem want to tax the rich, repeal citizens united, and give healthcare coverage to all. That’s progressive even if one of his fringe stances were to sacrifice a small third world child to the mountain god every month with a ritual dagger.
Biden and the DNC did raise taxes on the rich with the “Build Back Better Bill” passed via reconciliation and funded the IRS with directions to audit the rich, which they did and actually made a large profit doing so. They also expanded Medicaid to the point that a record breaking number of people were covered as Biden left office.
The Republican tax bill from 2016 would have expired this year and at no point during have the DNC had more than 48 senators: repealing that, reversing citizens united, and giving healthcare coverage to all would require supermajority or at the very least a large enough majority to safely remove the filibuster.
You haven’t seen progress? How very astute of you! You’ve also never seen a clean DNC majority, and you’ve specifically ignored the small wins that did happen.

That’s just not true though. At no point have dems taken concrete steps towards any of those goals.
Obamacare is the closest they’ve got to any of that and it was explicitly to prevent medicare for all.
