Biden administration’s biggest achievements are the continuation, and even expansion, of certain of the previous administration’s policies:
1) trade restrictions on China;
2) subsidies for manufacturing on US soil in certain sectors and other Made in US policies;
3) record US oil production.
And the Biden administration, like the Obama administration, tinkered nothing with or only at the extreme margins of the Bush and Trump tax codes.
On the downside, the Biden administration has continued with the Bush/Obama administration’s illegal immigration policies and for-profit military business ventures abroad policies (so-called neocon policies).
I don't believe that, I have relatives from Tennessee and they never speak that way. No one writes like they speak unless they are trying to gaslight or do some fronting.
Either way you sound like just another conceited biden apologist.
Well I don't care what you believe.
Sounds like you don't believe in facts, so that tells me all I need to know.
Ya'll might want to consider anti-depressants when the actual election happens.
I do fear for the worst. You could be right. He'll win in Georgia though, now that they've made it more difficult to cheat.

Yeah, I'll give him credit for that. Weaponizing the DOJ and FBI was a brilliant move. Persecuting Trump. Just like they did in the old Soviet Union.
*Gas prices have dropped more than $1.60 from their 2022 peak
You mean gas prices recovered after the gas price inflation he caused?
*fully vaccinated 79% of American adults against Covid-19
Think about that one for a moment.
*Led the world in a historic release of strategic reserves
And that is a positive how exactly?

I give you credit for listing what you feel are Biden's accomplishments. Assuming that you indeed feel that these are positive accomplishments, it makes sense that you would be in favor of Biden. But to me, some of these aren't accomplishments at all (except in a negative sense), while others are worded in such a way as to obscure an underlying truth.
An example of the latter is your remark about gas prices. Yes, prices are down from their high in June 2022, as shown on this chart:
But consider this: the HIGHEST that gas prices went during Trump's presidency was in May 2018, when they were at $2.987, before coming back down again. Prices began rising immediately upon Biden's election, passing the Trump high in May 2021. And they have not gone lower than that since then. Even after the big drop that you're so happy to credit Biden for, the LOW in January 2024 of $3.197 was still higher than ANY month in Trump's presidency.
Fact is, gas has been more expensive in almost every month of Biden's presidency than it was in almost any month of Trump's presidency. And as I see it, most of Biden's other "accomplishments" are either misleading or downright failures.
This would seem in direct contrast to the fact that Biden got 81,283,501 votes (51.3% majority) in the 2020 presidential election. It was the highest number of votes ever for a presidential candidate.
Damn straight. Just ask dominion. Actually Biden got over 869,000,000 votes, but the election officials just didn't want to make Trump look too bad.
Infrastructure
Inflation Reduction Act
Pact Act
Chips Act
Exit from Afghanistan
Uniting NATO
One of the lowest inflation rates of any civilized country
Lower prescription costs.
