Opinion | mehdirhasan: Whether President Biden actually lives up to the FDR mantle will depend not just on how well he leads but on how well he listens to the voices urging him toward a more progressive future.

This is a million miles away from a Trump administration that treated climate activists and labor organizers as the enemy. The Biden administration has proved itself to be open to outside pressure and willing to do, or at least seem to be doing, the right thing.

Criticism and questioning from the left is “very fair,” a White House official volunteered to me recently. “We must be bold and also bring everyone along.” Remember the words of Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck:"Politics is the art of the possible." Medicare for All? Canceling student debt? Legalizing marijuana? None of it is impossible under a Biden presidency. None of it is out of bounds with an administration that is willing to engage with, and be lobbied by, the left.

It won’t be easy. And there is much work to be done. But what these first 100 days of President Biden have taught us is that there is no need for despondency or defeatism. To : “When you say, ‘They'll never do anything for us,’ what you're really saying is, ‘Our movements are too weak to make them deliver.’”Make. Him. Do. It.Mehdi Hasan is host of"The Mehdi Hasan Show" on Peacock and an MSNBC political analyst. He is a former senior columnist for The Intercept, for which he launched the"Deconstructed" podcast. HE was also the presenter of"UpFront" and"Head to Head" on Al Jazeera English.

mehdirhasan Can't wait till Joe starts sending people to internment camps.

mehdirhasan We all thought the Republican Party would snap back after Trump was voted out but as you see the poison ☠️ of lies and deceit is so deep in these Senators veins I feel the window of salvation may have passed! Time will tell in the next couple of months!

mehdirhasan How on earth can you stop Fox News from selling rotton fish . politicaly charged lies deceit by FOX NEWS can only be defeated by disgrace .

mehdirhasan I don't really know where to start but I have to say it I know it's funny 🤭 to you but he's real believe it or not I know what I'm making through the hands of this man Christbitco he's a life changer my future manager

mehdirhasan YEAH AND I WOULD LIKE TO HERE BIDEN SPEAK. NOT CUT AWAY LIKE MSNBC DID WITH CLINTON. BUT COVERED EVERY WORD THE LUNATIC SAID. BESIDES GIVES A BREAK OF HEARING THE PUNDANCE TALK AND TALK AND TALK.

mehdirhasan Unlike his predecessor, you lead by doing difficult deeds. Not by telling people that you are the greatest the world has ever known. Mohammad Ali kicked a few asses before declaring himself the greatest. Trump the loser the world has come to know.

mehdirhasan Joe Biden did not get 80 million votes. Your Network is the leading propaganda machine.

mehdirhasan Wasn’t FDR a segregationist ? Wtf!?

mehdirhasan FDR is the yardstick by which you want to judge a president in 2021? Interesting. I find it fascinating that we keep referencing politicians, political and social movements, and nationalism movements from the period of 1930 and 1950 and not any other period.

mehdirhasan It has only been 100 days!!! Be patient! Biden has got this!!!!

mehdirhasan ie his handlers

mehdirhasan FDR was a fascist that put Japanese Americans in concentration camps. Given the racist attitudes of democrats today, it's logical you would admire such a racist.

mehdirhasan Media don’t realize there’s another president besides FDR, who was better than FDR on domestic policy: LBJ. Please do some reading.
