Unfortunately, I don’t see how any president can do any of those. The best he can do is appoint competent justices and try to persuade Congress

So in this case, expand the Supreme Court? And at least mention these issues at all?

Correct; the president can't do those things, hence why the other commentor's complaints didn't make sense. I was answering the question of how.

Then why is Biden being credited with SAVING DEMOCRACY?

Personally, I don't credit him with "saving democracy" however, putting Trump in the White House would endanger democracy as an institution because his faction would have enough control to implement their will without being checked.
