I’d argue his first term was in part social progress, and both terms because of not fantastic republican competition. But Obama kinda kicked off all the hyper partisanship. And the knee-jerk reaction to a left wing black President, was Trump. And I think electing someone like Buttegieg or Harris only proves to be a reaction to the reaction, and serves to perpetuate the hyper partisanship.
