Of reestablishing ethics norms? Pretty sure the Biden admin didn’t make any progress at all on that front after Trump term 1. No procedural rollbacks, no prosecutions, sanctions, or even stern warnings for all the myriad violations of norms, and a lot of hesitation pursuing even criminal violations.
Voters want consequences, Democratic old-guard seem to want to smoke a peace pipe and forget it ever happened. That’s probably a factor in why progressive candidates are sweeping primaries. People want guillotines, public guillotines, and I’m only half using that phrase metaphorically. Even if the progressives can’t deliver, no one doubts they’ll try.
Fun Fact, Biden actually protected more forests in the USA than any past president, restoring and even expanding the countless national parks that Trump stripped protections from.
And whose heads rolled? Who is in prison, who had their assets seized, who got frog marched in an orange jumpsuit? Who was charged with fraud for the COVID loans? In 20 years the Democrats have failed to hold anyone accountable for anything who had more than a million in assets? Yeah, they convicted the Jan. 6th rioters. Funny how easy it is to hold someone accountable when they don’t have money.
I think it’s sick the way the Republicans have scapegoated every demographic they can possibly point a finger at, but I absolutely understand people’s need to have someone held accountable for the endless successions of disasters we have lived through. No one needs a return to “normal”, they need consequences for those who are responsible. And then, we can discuss restoring norms, reinforced with teeth, so the next time someone tries this they lose a hand before the rest of us have to live through their sadism and stupidity.
Gonna be honest the Democratic establishment hasn’t shown itself very trustworthy in that regard.
Got an example?

So your example is that the DNC “haven’t done anything”. The fact that they have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years aside for a moment:

And when they attempted to ban stock trading in congress LINK
