    You really do not get how people vote if you think that’s supposed to be a major achievement of Joe Biden’s presidency.

    Recovering from the pandemic economy is a major achievement regardless of how people vote. Just look at the economies that haven’t recovered.

    Just because many voters have a goldfish’s memory doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a major achievement.

      Is it? We came back quicker than others, but we also have a far higher death toll than the rest of the western world. This again is not something to brag about. “Aren’t you glad I ended subsidies and opened up the economy” sounds great to people with investments or work-from-home suburbanites, but for a lot of people, especially minority populations, it meant risking their health just to get by.
