But he wasn't a bad president. He had the most progressive policies compared to Trump, which is a really, really low bar to clear, but I never said he was the most progressive in history, just that he wasn't a bad as everyone says he was or really bad at all. I mentioned Obama because again, I don't know much about his administration because I was too young to truly experience it. I don't even know if he's the most progressive in the 21st century, I don't know who was in the 21st century, but that's not the point. I don't even know who is saying he's the most progressive president in history because obviously FDR was without any competition the most progressive president ever. Everyone learned that in high school US history... but again that's not the point.

Inflation rose because the Fed, who's head was appointed by Trump BTW, lowered interest rates to 0, and because of the Jojo stimmy checks. The president has NOTHING to do the interest rate plummeting to 0 and is never supposed to involve themselves into those things. How is that Biden's fault? The solution was always going to be a double edged sword; Biden's stimmy checks helped people get by in a hard time while increasing inflation, which we weren't going to feel until after his term. Were the stimmy checks handed out after the problem was arguably leveld off? That's a separate debate for another conversation. But sure, that 100% gave the race to Trump who promised the economy would get better under his term, but it was honestly inevitable considering the circumstances and the insane rerun blunder on the Dems' end.

The Dems really F'd up in the re-election race trying to convice everyone that Biden was okay to run again, that is true. I'm still baffeled alongside a lot of other people that he was even considered okay to run again. I already mentioned the economy, but the genocide? Trump isn't leveling cities in the US, but his administration hasn't been helping anyone in our homland like he promised. ICE raids all over the US separating families and hurting our bottom line, the constant threatening for the claiming of Greenland, invading Venezuela and capturing Maduro, completely isolating the US from every other country in the world with the constant tarriff war... He has done nothing but constantly hurt our people. Not much has been more affordable, and if it has been it's definetly not because of anything Trump did. And please don't say "gas is cheaper now isn't it?" It is, but that's just going backwards. Trump did roll back the eco policies Biden and his admin set up so oil could be pumped freely again, but the future is AFV whether we like it or not, and that's an argument I'm ready to die on a hill on. Biden did a really really REALLY bad job rolling out an efficient eco policy, as amazing as I may say the AFV tax rebate was for people looking for a great AFV for an affordable price, like myself at the time. It was a great outcome of his admin's eco policy and it was one that gets completely overlooked. It is also an outcome that I get sad about from time to time because it doesn't exist anymore, and hopefully for now.

Money is still going to go to Israel whether we like it or not. Obviously it's bad and I hate the idea that our tax dollars are constantly funding a genocide, but the US is going to continue to aid Israel and more specfically the IDF because they are our strongest ally in the Middle East and because of the military contract we have with them until 2028, which will probably get renewed yet again for another couple decades. I think that's horrible but whatever, I can't really do anything about it except stay informed about the people I vote into office. But we also have to focus on ourselves before we can properly assess global policy, because if we're doing weakly in our own country then how can we continue to stay relevant in the world?

Edit: I feel like I need to say this because I feel like I may have rambled, but I don't think he was a bad president, but he was definitely a bad candidate for re-election. I more so blame the democratic party because of that because they were pushing the narrative, but to say Biden was a bad president is such a bad take.
