And civil rights.
Plus sustainable technology.
And critical infrastructure.
Also climate change.
Taxing the wealthy.
List the best action he has taken for each of these.
Civil rights - LGBTQ+ legal funding, protecting youth from conversion therapy, healthcare access, reversing Trump's ban on trans military personnel, housing protections
Sustainable technology - "best" is hard among so many, probably the 65$ billion dollars inveatment for clean energy infrastructure in the US
Critical infrastructure - the largest investment in US infrastructure in US history, over a trillion dollars resulting in over 50000 new infrastructure projects.
Climate change - again, the "best" is tricky here...I guess either the hundreds of billions in green tech, clean energy, mass transit, rejoining climate accords, increasing regulations on polluters... You can choose any one of those.
Oh and taxing the wealthy. Biden succeeded in that too.
Healthcare - Biden limiting drug prices helps a ton of people. Also, trump pledged to get rid of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and replace it with nothing. So... not ruining everything is also good.
See that's the thing, Biden would be a better president than trump if he literally pledged to do nothing. Trump has pledged to make things worse, mostly for his own benefit.
That's your choice: a shit sandwich or... not eating a shit sandwich. Tough one, I know.
You are weirdly angry that Biden helped a lot of vulnerable people through drug pricing regulation.
That's what I'm saying. You're agreeing with me.
Some of Biden's other first-term achievements(listed directly above) have been incredibly helpful to hundreds of millions of people.
Weird that not eating a shit sandwich is a difficult decision for you, but maybe it explains why you don't understand the previous comment.
Biden isn't a better president compared to dumps, he literally invested more in infrastructure and clean technology and climate change than any other president.
Biden has made and is still making huge strides in civil rights.
He's taxing the wealthy.
He's making a lot of progressive strides.
You even agree with that in the first sentence, what do you think you're arguing about?
So why do you think I'm arguing with you?
I don't.
You're agreeing with me that biden is a good president, but incorrect that he's only a good precedent relative to Trump.
You're very confused. Do you have any questions?
...but you said they're arguing with you, which is why they asked why you think they're arguing with you.
What I said is:
"what do you think you're arguing about?"
I didn't mention myself.
It's clear they meant to be arguing something, but if their argument was directed against me, they probably wouldn't have agreed with me.
If they were arguing against Biden, they probably wouldn't have praised him.
So, what do they think they're arguing against?
Right...
Keep going...
Almost there...
You're stuck?
I'm not going to spoil it for you, maybe you'll eventually work it out.
It's OK to admit you were wrong, man. It won't actually be physically painful.
I'm very comfortable admitting when I'm wrong.
I'm very comfortable here being right.
And youre wrong again.
You're projecting.
But it would be funny if you tried to prove your lies.
I like the trolls, they are funny.
I also accept that this is often sound, logical advice.

^ That's the one that triggered the media attack on him.
I agree that the timing is overly conspicuous
There's nothing wrong with wanting supporting evidence for claims, but when someone says something that's very provable and common knowledge and you ask for proof - you become known as an idiot.
Lmao at being downvoted for asking for tangible examples. Platitudes don't win elections, folks. See 2016.
Google exists.
If you're curious about the downvotes, I would consider that it appears you thought you were "asking," when what your comment does is issue a command. With no other context to understand from where you are coming.
