The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

Joe Biden's underrated presidency
He's achieved a lot — with the notable exception of popularity.
![It is inexplicable why the Bastrop County District Attorney’s Office refuses to allow DNA testing of the belt that
was used to kill Stites, despite the very substantial possibility that such testing could exculpate Reed and identify
the real killer. It is also inexplicable why the courts below
did not proceed with more caution and carefully consider
each of Reed’s arguments, especially given that his claim
implicates the “constitutionally intolerable” possibility of
the “execution of a[n] . . . innocent person.” Herrera v. Collins, 506 U. S. 390, 419 (1993) (O’Connor, J., concurring).
The Court should vacate the Fifth Circuit’s judgment and
remand the case for the Fifth Circuit to address Reed’s argument in the first instance. Because the Court refuses to
do so, the State will likely execute Reed without the world
ever knowing whether Reed’s or Fennell’s DNA is on the
murder weapon, even though a simple DNA test could reveal that information. I respectfully dissent.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreigzqf7es64cjqwwbmakuxshybiutbqvfgxt3swepisava3n3v4o74)
