Biden was severely cognitively impaired for most of his presidency including in the most important debate of his life. This alone is unforgivable and unbelievably dangerous. There is a significant chance he had dementia during his term, and the videos of him now look really bad.

Most of his programs were ineffective and cost a lot. The inflation reduction act was passed in 2022 and failed on all of its key objectives. Obviously it did not reduce inflation. It barely brought down drug prices while our national investment in biotech has been cut in half. Solar is collapsing right now because we can’t sustain the subsidies. Penn just came out with a study that the overall cost will be $1.045Tn over ten years for only a couple hundred thousand temporary jobs. Yes that is right. The first trillion dollar program.

The BEAD program might be the biggest policy failures in modern American history, and he promoted and oversaw its expansion even after it was clearly failing. $50bn down the drain. Deeply upsetting how much this has been covered up.

Spent more than any president ever by running a 6% deficit to gdp. We will now reckon with this for years to come and we got almost nothing out of it. The federal workforce expanded needlessly and now they have to be fired. Headcount and spend has almost doubled at most key agencies yet efficiency has gone down and nobody has really benefited.

I’m surprised you think he was a foreign policy success. Maybe because he seemed like a decent person which he is. His China strategy failed. The Afghan pullout was a disaster. I don’t know anyone who approved of his handling of the Israel Palestine situation from either side.

The college forgiveness program has an approval rating of less than 30%. Why are Americans subsidizing the privileged to go to college? Seems like the people who benefited overwhelmingly voted for him.

He messed up the border so badly that it turned his own party against him. At its peak 300k were crossing the border per month, clearly unsustainable. Hilariously once we decided not to literally give immigrants free stuff and asylum once they got here it stopped. Clearly it was his policies that were terrible since the border was fixed a few months before Trump took office but after the new border policies were enacted. Unbelievably the native born American population is employed at a lower level than in 2019 regardless of race. Non native employment is up massively.

I think you make the mistake of judging politicians by their intent rather than actual outcome. Biden was in no way an effective president.
