Yes and no.
Better than recent presidents? Yes. Actually a leftist? No, Biden is far from actually being a leftist. This more points to electoralism being harm reduction for leftists, not advocacy.
The executive isn't a dictatorship, and that's another reason why meaningful change must happen at the grassroots level, not via electoralism. The system itself is designed to be extremely stable, and thus slow to change, if at all.
