Discontinued American Rescue Plan programs that helped low income Americans like the Expanded Child Tax Credit.
Did $1,200 payments during covid (-Promissed $2,000)
Did not actually do meaningful college debt relief (“muh, but the courts” - shut up, the Secretary Of education has the power, he really just doesn’t care about it that much)
Still kinda sorta half asking the effort via another legal argument
Cabinet full of corporate ghouls
Based Lina Khan and NLRB
Unconditional support for Israel
Did not deschedule marijuana (“working” on it, believe when you see it)
Continued monetary incentives and subsidies for anti-union corps
Left Afghanistan
No challenge to the Supreme Court corruption
No real platform for re-election, no interviews, no debate, no primaries
A bunch more.
Trump:
Literally nothing good. Just way worse all around.
There was never going to be a clean exit from Afghanistan from the moment the US decided to try to nation build there.
People wanted blood after 9/11, and if we were honest with ourselves about who we really are as a country, after Bin Laden got away in Tora Bora we would’ve leveled Kabul and called it a day, for all the difference it ultimately ended up making. Not saying it would’ve been right, but it would’ve accomplished the exact same thing as what 20 years of occupation did, arguably with less blowback, and it could’ve been done without dragging the rest of our allies into it, but gotta keep up appearances.
Good or bad, it doesn’t belong in that list. Trump made the decision to leave Afghanistan. By the time Biden had the power it was too late to stay there.
Well shit. I totally fucked up the formatting. Leaving Afghanistan was a definite positive. People who grief him for it also seem to forget that it was Trump who made the agreement with the Taliban and set the thing in motion. Not sure if he would’ve actually gone ahead and fully withdraw though, but at least Biden followed through with it.

Leaving Afghanistan was a bad move? Okay, sure buddy.
Probably referencing how poorly leaving Afghanistan went, and the aftermath of it.
Never mind that Trump handed him that flaming bag of shit, and Biden couldn’t have stomped it out if he wanted to.

Now now now… don’t let facts get in the way of feelings…somebody’s gonna cry
Challenging supreme court corruption is Congress job. Impeaching a justice takes a simple majority in the house and then 2/3 in Senate.
Not gonna happen. Not in a corrupt Congress. Only happened one time, nearly 220 years ago.
Removing a member of Congress is also pretty impossible right now. Takes a 2/3 vote.
Could vote out the worst apples. Tough with gerrymandering, but theoretically possible. But that’s a prerequisite to anything else.
Massive difference between cutting taxes and giving investment grants. The latter has strings attached.
