No, Biden did terrible overall. A highlight would be making it illegal for railroad workers to strike. His foreign policy was awful as well, not just Palestine.

Bernie had the following to start a new party, but is likely being blackmailed or bribed to keep people in the "Democratic" party.

The rail strike was bad, but then Biden turned around and got the rail workers almost everything they had been asking for.

As to Foreign Policy, what specifically was bad? The pull-out from Afghanistan? It's hard to stick the landing when the guy before released 5k enemy fighters while reducing the US military presence to less than a skeleton crew.

But other than that, the US was mostly respected by the world under Biden. We had some bad trade deals from Trump, but were working on fixing things.

As to splitting the Democratic party, that's a great way to never win elections again. Because you cannot have three viable parties under First Past the Post voting. It's literally impossible.

Based on what? Have you talked to any railroad workers? I have and they are not happy with their lack of enough sick leave. You don't care enough to research it.

Are you joking? Sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine to get their men killed for a losing war? Advising them not to negotiate? Horrific.

Dems will keep losing without a change. 80 million non voters looking for a new party regardless of taking Dem voters.
