Maybe not being president and stressed as hell can be better for you.

Not baiting or arguing, just curious - what do you consider the greatest accomplishments of his presidency and of his entire political career?

Covid response? They buried elderly men for profit? Climate efforts? Efforts don’t pay the bills. No one cares what Canadians say about our presidents. Yall and Mexico are like less that 5 percent of our gdp and leach 10 miles off of our border and mirror our democracy with a twinge of communism.. you are literally spinning your wheels trying to find his accomplishments. Not shitting his pants before lunch seems to help while he becomes a puppet with organized crimes hand up his ass guarded by the judicial system

He put a cap on insulin?

That would have benefited a lot of people.

u/Roy-Southman Feb 23 '25

This was a heaven sent to a lot of people with diabetes. Insulin and medicine for diabetes got really cheap. Too many Americans suffer from diabetes and Biden improved their lives. This is a tangible and real good thing that he did.

Inflation Reduction Act. Over 300k jobs for sustainable energy. And the CHIPs Act. Two of my top.

Which he was the cause of to begin with

u/gman6041 Feb 21 '25

Yeah right.the inflation reduction act that spent trillions,cost the average American family over 7500$ per year in added costs, and didn't do a damn thing to reduce inflation.just another corrupt giveaway to friends of the last administration.

u/samv_1230 Feb 21 '25

Lol source for those numbers? It's estimated to cost a trillion at most over the course of a decade.

https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/the-inflation-reduction-acts-benefits-and-costs

Seems the benefits would outweigh the cost, but that's just my opinion.

u/ChemEBrew Feb 21 '25

Source: Trust me bro.

I'm just impressed his response didn't have random words capitalized with sporadic punctuation.

u/Guran22 Feb 21 '25

The trillions number is the estimated cost over the next several decades, not how much has been spent as you imply. Doesn’t seem like a genuine criticism.

https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/08/16/fact-sheet-two-years-in-the-inflation-reduction-act-is-lowering-costs-for-millions-of-americans-tackling-the-climate-crisis-and-creating-jobs/

I’ve found literally nothing about it raising costs for the average American; in fact, I found the complete opposite. Plenty of other great things in there too.

Facts aren’t vibing with your feelings bud.

The fact u believe the government is insane

u/Guran22 Feb 22 '25

Want to elaborate? You can fact check every claim that was made. Have any actual info to provide or just talking out of your ass? I don’t blindly believe anything, I check data and sources. My link sources all its claims with data to back it up. You come with…nothing.

Look up Lindy Li, a former democratic fundraiser and personal has worked with the bidens. Listen to what she has to say and whys she’s ditched the Democratic Party

u/Guran22 Feb 22 '25 edited Feb 22 '25

What does that have to do with what we’re talking about? You implied what I linked was false. My link sourced their data. You have yet to bring any actual data to support your stance. You bringing up some random persons talking points is irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Edit: also looked this Lindy Li person up. They seem like a horrible person who changes their values based on what benefits them the most.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Li

In March 2023, Li on a panel on MSNBC said, “Let’s also not ignore the fact that CPAC has become a gathering of sexual predators. Let’s be honest” and “Tonight, we have Trump, a serial rapist...So, this is the party that claims to be the party of Christian family values, and I have nothing to say or do but laugh at that!”[33]

In 2024, after the US presidential election, Li transitioned from being a supporter, to being a critic of the Democratic Party.

In January 2025, Li said, she “has been a conservative all my life.” Li later announced she was raising money for Trump and Republicans, despite having previously criticized Trump in harsh terms.[44]

Sounds like a wonderful person with consistent morals.

Listen to what she has to say on the Shawn Ryan interview.

u/Guran22 Feb 22 '25

I’ll pass. Once again, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

As an aside, if you want people to read or watch some media you should really source it yourself.

It's also not always the big things, but the small things you do. The everyday work to care for and serve the people and make their life a little bit better.

u/Novel_Sheepherder277 Feb 22 '25

He passed several historic federal investment bills. Infrastructute, expanding healthcare, the biggest federal investment into education in American history. People don't recognise his achievements because inflation drowned them out, and it takes 2 decades for K-12 education to pay noticeable dividends. He was sincerely focussed on securing a better future for the next generation, not his re-election, to his detriment. Stuff like that, getting rid of student loans etc, increases the likelihood of young people owning their own homes, being able to afford to have kids. It reduces the wealth gap - effectively trickle up economics.

Sadly Trump has already undone most of it.

Canceling student debts

u/spqr_mmxxiii Feb 22 '25

1) 16.6M jobs added, GDP growth of 12.6%. Only admin in history to have created jobs every single month. 2) Wealth adjust for inflation rose 37% for median American families. 3) Investing in America Agenda which comprises the Infrastructure Law, CHIPS act and Inflation reduction act has attracted over 1 trillion in investment to US and will create over 1.6M construction and manufacturing jobs. My top three but the list goes on…

u/Oscillatingballsweat Feb 21 '25

Yeah I have to say I'm not sure where this person is coming from. What we have now is abhorrent, but it doesn't suddenly make the previous guy a hero. He was historically a senator who cared more about reelection than any morally stanced policies, and he became a champion of women's rights only so he could get Democrat votes for Obama while running as VP. While he was in office he was the definition of mediocrity - which again, I'd pay my savings account right now to go back to, but it doesn't mean he was an amazing politician...

u/cheffartsonurfood Feb 22 '25

Isn't everything EVERY politician does in order to get more votes? Kinda the point.

u/Oscillatingballsweat Feb 22 '25

The difference is that his stance on abortion and women's rights while he was in congress for more than 30 years was to get him votes at the expense of his voters. I don't so easily pardon the man for that, no matter who ends up president after him. Fuck Trump. But fuck Biden for his backward policies until it mattered for his promotion to the oval office.

u/Ultidon Feb 21 '25

THIS is an honest POV that doesn’t deserve the downvotes they have gotten

u/Ellieb19 Feb 21 '25

If I disagree, especially because of the facts I researched and know, why wouldn't I downvote?
