The 20 million women in Aghanistan who can't speak in public anymore might have a different opinion on how wonderful Biden is. (-8)

You can't be a serious person and make this statement. Biden taught a masterclass on incompetence and failure for four painful years. There isn't a single thing he did that has had a material positive impact on the country. History will be extremely unkind to Biden. (-7)

I'm sure that putting billionaires in charge will fix the inequity problem! /s (26)

Billionaires have been in charge for time immemorial. Nothing new here except it's more overt than in the past. (-5)

Hmm, no. But I will credit him with being the worst leftist president in modern history (LBJ is a tricky runner-up having started the war in Vietnam).Firstly, what has Biden done well?He's successfully avoided a recession and navigated the economy into a soft landing -- but people still feel bad about his economy largely due to his inability to communicate and conditions deteriorating for the poor and middle class.He allowed Medicare to negotiate for ~20 drug pricesHe restored a semblance of order and gravitas to American foreign policyHe passed a major climate change and infrastructure bill -- but it was all carrot and no stick, and consisted entirely of spending a lot of money over a short period of time.What has Biden not done well?He waited to drop out of the election and deprived voters of an open primary, undemocratically placing Harris at the top of the ticket with not enough time to conduct a campaign -- this directly led to a second Trump presidency.He declined to prosecute...

High COL, open borders, inflation, causing a shit storm in Afghanistan, sending billions to Ukraine, weaponizing the DOJ, pardoning his son when he said he wouldn't. Using the media to hide his declining health. His whole admin was a woke joke. You don't have to agree with me but election results speak for itself. I'll likely get downmarseyd for this which will prove my point. (-2)

I will address each point. High COL - COL was high pre-pandemic. Trumps proposed tariffs and threats of trade wars with our biggest trading partners will make that worse. Inflation was a global phenomenon that followed the pandemic. Every country in the world experienced it. It had to do with resulting whiplash from supply chain disruptions, and all of the aid that was sent out. Most of the aid Covid Aid was sent out by Trump. Biden had the fastest recovering economy from inflation in the world and it's currently below where it was pre-pandemic at 2.1%. It typically floated at 3-4% pre pandemic (ps: that's lower than Trump). Open borders - more border crossings happened under Trump than Biden. Biden administration had a bipartisan bill that was going to bulk up border security. Trump undermined it by threatening republican congressman so the Dems could not get a win and he had some bull shit to run on. What did Trump do for the border? Why didn't he lock it down while he was in offi... (1)

Sorry which part of this did you not want me to call out as bullshit? Biden was by no means perfect but his term saw the most benefit for Americans in terms of a global recovery scale, do we average Americans enjoy that benefit? No, because shockingly corporations used "supply chain distribution" to increase the cost of goods to pad their year over year "record breaking profits". Crazy how the bill to reduce price gouging and increase consumer protections was drafted because of the corporations greeding increases in prices. And side note "it's harder to get the prices to come down" meaning we're fricked no cheaper prices 🤷‍♂️As for Russia and Afghanistan, Russia is not under our governments control and we have always been at odds with them as an enemy super power. In the conflixt we are siding an ALLY OF OUR NATION without being directly involved in the conflict, we are glorified arms dealers. If you in any way shape or form think that Ukraine is the bad guy and we shouldn't help our... (1)

Arming and funding Ukraine while giving them permission to strike in Russia using US weapons is pretty involved. Why not negotiate? That's often the best course of action when it comes to global conflict. Particularly one with nukes. Russia considers us to be at war due to our involvement in Ukraine. Biden has been drip feeding resources, never giving enough to ensure victory, but enough to keep money in defense companies' pockets. It's a forever war, and Ukraine is paying for it with their blood. Biden did not have to follow Trumps plan. The Taliban didn't follow the terms set in negotiations, so why did we? Biden is the CIC, and the buck stops there. That whole cluster frick cost a lot of innocent lives. Biden upholding the plan of a dog shit president, a plan that failed, is a very bad look. Also, continuing to fund the Taliban for years after is a very, very bad look. Funding a controversial war in the middle east that many of the American people consider a genocide( I ... (1)
