    What is it that you propose he had done in the last 4 years?

    The 2016 Maga tax plan doesn’t expire until 2026, so that’s out the window.

    Executive orders can’t really do much about economy or individuals.

    Congress was deadlocked senate 50:50 and house majority was lost in 2022.

    The FTC and other federal offices were already investigating monopolies and giving out massive record breaking billions in fines.

    He cancelled billions if not trillion or more in debts for students, veterans, medical debts, etc.

    The treasury and the fed controlling rates reversed the inflation that peaked in his first year as president despite it not serving the interests of hedge funds.

    Seems like Biden was a good president who followed the rules and did everything that he could.

        I don’t think a president can decide how elections are done, for obvious reasons. Thats definitely for Congress and individual states to decide, moreso the latter as each state decides how to alott their EC votes themselves.

          Did he try? Was it even part of his agenda?

          No, because he doesn’t want it to change. Because he’s a plutocrat.

            He shouldn’t try, thats what despots do. Trump can try changing how elections are done and maybe the good people fight him off or maybe this country gets what it deserves and sets an example for future generations.

                No, they don’t, because any individual in power who changes elections is always the person you don’t want changing elections.

                You have to realize that any singular person cannot comprehend the relative good or bad of their actions and therefor all good moral principles come from selflessly putting that power in the hands of voters.

                If people want to change how voting works, they have that option. The USA are just dumbasses who keep voting against it.

                It is not and was never Biden’s job to fix everything at every level of government.
