      He’s not strictly speaking doing a bad job as a liberal politician. However even as a supposed socialist all he’s doing is strengthening capitalism kinda like FDR, he knows his place in the class struggle and its not on the side of the workers. Because of that he will offer small appeasements to the workers that governments down the line will remove if/when capitalism stabilizes.

          By making minor improvements to society he is not pushing people towards socialism but rather making capitalism more comfortable just as FDR did. As we saw back then when a progressive both makes life too comfortable and fails to push for socialism not only does it not result in systematic improvement but the improvements they do back are later reverted.
