Lincoln isn't in a position to order anyone around because he isn't anybody's leader. Lexa's position is already being challenged and she's the Grounders' Heda, so only imagine what would happen to Lincoln if he tried to order people around (warriors aren't allowed to just do that, you know). That's the point, Lincoln isn't supposed to order anyone about. That's not how change is made. All ordering people about does is create an oppressive environment ripe for rebellion and that's what's the problem of having Lexa take over the peace-keeping role. She's a leader, not a peace-keeper.

Lexa also willing to assassinate Octavia and letting Clarke know she has no problems killing anyone who disagrees with her. That is not so much a visionary leader but more a dictatorship. The only time we caught a glimpse of Blood must not have blood in season 2 was when she struck a deal with Mt Weather and betrayed her alliance with Clarke. Clarke has been the one who has verbally stood up to Lexa causing her to question her methods. Why not give Lincoln that arc?...throughout history it is not just the leader that being about revolutionary change its actually the people, the common people who rise up and force their leaders to change and not the other way around.

^^This, right here. ALL of this.
