I remember when Biden invaded Ukraine and told Israel to attack Gaza. That was after he pulled the 'housing price' and 'gas price' levers in the White House, of course.
Well, Biden hasn't done any of those things, but we need to accept the facts that he did block peace negotiations in Ukraine, he vetoed multiple ceasefires in Palestine, and he supported both conflicts by providing weapons.
I don't know if trump would have been better, but we gotta admit that Biden actively did a terrible job.
Biden's failings are more in what he allowed to happen through inaction rather than what he directly caused.

Hmm... which would I rather have, someone passive that doesn't directly cause problems or an unapologetic fascist who uses Hitler-style language in his speeches and promises to open concentration camps?
But I'm sure you're white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you'll be fine.
Sounds like you have no problem with using racist language, as long as it isn't directed towards you. Hypocritical much?
What racist language? What are you talking about?
Oh, you didn't even notice?
Feel free to quote me. This should be interesting.
"But I'm sure you're white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you'll be fine."
How is that not racist and sexist?
Because it's calling Trump and Republicans racist and sexist? They're the ones who want to oppress anyone who is not white, heterosexual, Christian and male.
Let me guess- it's racist to call someone a racist.
No, it's racist to want to attribute everything to race.
"You're white, therefore you want to oppress other people who aren't."
"Black people suffer because of the color of their skin."
Both statements are incredibly racist.
Well then it's a good thing I didn't attribute everything to race, isn't it?
You attributed my approval for Trump to race, when I had clearly stated it was due to his policies, not his words.
Nope. I didn't attribute your approval for Trump to anything. That is a lie. I said nothing about why you support Trump.
I said I hope you weren't any of those things, because if you are, Trump will oppress you.
This is a terrible attempt at gaslighting.
"But I'm sure you're white, heterosexual, Christian and male, so you'll be fine."
That's what you said. Stop trying to weasel out of it.
Yes, and that very clearly says nothing about why you support Trump.
Your gaslighting will not make me accuse you of what you claim I accused you of and I think you're aware of that, so I'm not sure why you're bothering.
Okay then. I'm done here.
