76. Is Joe Biden really the new Roosevelt?

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declared that Biden's administration had exceeded progressives' expectations, she caused fury: from some on the US left who believed it sowed undeserved illusions in the US President, and from conservatives who believed it confirmed his dangerous radicalism. What's the truth?

I'm joined by author Kate Aronoff and leading political organiser Waleed Shaheed to discuss whether the US left has won meaningful concessions, what the failings and problems of the Biden Administration are - and what strategy the left should now pursue.
