I agree that Obama squandered opportunities and I think Biden is trying to learn from those mistakes. The primary one is believing that Republicans will negotiate in good faith, let alone do anything bipartisan; the obstruction has reached untenable levels.
One interesting thing too is the timeline of super majority - while there was 60 for a bit - wasn't as long as implied or as simple given the geriatrics being out of commission.
If we ever get a super majority again - or get rid of filibuster - I personally want to see DC statehood as #1 priority, maybe PR and Guam too.
