I get the sentiment but at least in my view Biden has had an overall reasonably productive term with the fatal flaw that he was trying to be "reasonable" with the GOP when he really shouldn't have been.
Define "productive". He did very little, and much of what he did was late in the presidency or undercut by the courts. What do you think is his biggest accomplishment?
have you not been paying attention to all the headlines about actual meaningful anti trust action in this country? that's because of Joe Biden's cabinet.
the true power of the president is in appointments. in much the same way that trump is responsible for repealing roe because it was his supreme court justice picks, this is Joe Biden's doing. so if Google does indeed need to sell chrome, that's one thing he did.
really though, he's changed the course entirely on anti trust. these are the first meaningful anti trust cases since the 90s. it's actually a huge deal.
Admittedly I don't remember most of his specific policies, but I'd say his support for labor (setting aside the rail workers strike; that was fucked up). The inflation reduction act also sounded important but I don't really understand what it did.
