easy to forget when everything he did get accomplished never trickled down to most US citizens but certainly helped the elites

How did raising the min wage to $15/hr help the elites? Defending medicare, strengthening bank regulations, coming after junk fees, fighting the GOP on student loan forgiveness… or standing with unions on the picket line, and so forth. I bet I could write a list of 200 things he’s done in less than 4 years that were intended to help American workers, while I’d be surprised if anyone can come up with a list of a dozen things he did that helped only the rich and corporations.

And if anyone is wondering if I’m exaggerating about “200 things,” you should consider how much the media’s low-effort coverage and Trump’s BS circus are keeping real stuff out of the news. Biden signed 52 executive orders in the first 100 days alone. A list of 200 things he’s done for regular people vs elites would be the highlights, not the full list.

Here are his first 52 executive orders if you want to review his work: https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/politics/biden-executive-orders/index.html

That massive list only gets you to April 2021.

did you read that list

maybe one or two items on it might make a difference in US households maybe

no healthcare, no raising of the minimum wage, nothing about women’s rights, no police reform minus the scrap about federal prisons, and these are just some things

Perhaps the link is loading something different for you and me? Because just in the first 7 items I see:

Raised the minimum wage Reverse draconian Trump policies on refugees and travelers Defended democracy by sanctioning Russia’s meddling Presidential commission to begin discussions to fix the SCOTUS Defended human rights by reversing bad Trump policies on the ICC New council on gender equality and equity Protect students from discrimination

That’s just the first 7 items, of the list of 52 items covering only executive actions in the first 100 days. Keep reading just a few more points and you’ll see more defense of democracy, protection of minorities, improvements to the economy, etc. Again, I could be here all day talking about how Biden has done so much for people - if we include signed bills and Bully Pulpit work, it would take hundreds of items to cover even the highlights.

Perhaps look into it a bit closer, here is a more complete list of 118 executive actions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_executive_actions_by_Joe_Biden
