I think he’d be worse if you expected him to not support Israel do a genocide, but if you expected that you should have read up on his positions and, frankly, the last 70 years of United States foreign policy.
Totally. But this is about wether he’s below or above expectations. If your expectations were low then it stands to reason the bad things could match your expectations.
“Worse than expected,” depends largely on the individual and what they were expecting.
It comes down to expecting one thing and being disappointed in the outcome.
People who expected him to be an ally of immigrants are disappointed in his border policies.
People who expected him to fix Trumps “easy” trade wars are disappointed in his trade policies.
People who expected him to support labor are disappointed in his ban of the railroad workers strike.
People who expected him to champion human rights are disappointed in his support of the IDF.
He may have met your expectations and the expectations of the majority of Democrats. Biden’s 2020 victory depended on several groups who only showed up because they hoped that he would address their specific concerns.
People got confused when he ran on a platform that was “nothing will fundamentally change” and thought that meant he would push all the progressive ideas they wanted /s
A lot of the problems we’re facing are not something we can wait on. Climate change is already going to effectively change our life to an unrecognizable extent, even with a Democrat is charge.
Perhaps too many people have grown comforted by the inevitable. I’m still a little panicked, and it doesn’t seem like anyone’s doing anything to stop it.

Then it is a good thing Biden rules and Convicted Felon Treason Trump drools in his diaper.
Did I say we can wait on them? No. I said change takes time. And it does. Can we go out and ask everyone on the planet/US to change out their car for an EV tomorrow? No we can’t. Things take time. Sounds like you should have beef with the people that protested voted against Jimmy Carter, against Gore, and against Hillary. We should have moved the needle a long time ago.
And there are still other items to be worked on that people demand, like student debt, the economy, unions, chips act, ukraine, etc. Things take time.
Why are you talking about things taking time as if we’re slowly progressing in the right direction? Hell no, we’ve been moving in the direction of more gas powered truck and SUV sales, more gas production, more highways, all of it promoted by democrats.
First the entire context was “How was Biden worse than expected?” to which I answered that some people think everything can happen on a dime, which they can’t because they take time.
As for EV incentives, China has been dominating with EV adoption lately with affordable options. Theyve got a damn 11k brand new EV that is so enticing, the US and EU are banning it from import because it would be too successful here.
Ahh the “not enough!”, aka “not fast enough!” You want more? Then vote Dems in consistently and overwhelmingly.
And then the “it’s not changing fast enough!”. You do realize those are private purchases right? The government can’t mandate what people buy.
And then the China tariff. Like it it not they’re going to protect American industry from low wage made cars.
So we’re basically back to, congrats you just showed you’re exactly the “not fast enough!” person. And we are moving in the right direction with, well everything I already listed. You want to move faster? Give Dems overwhelming and consistent victories.
I really think you’re missing the point. Not fast enough is not good enough when we’re talking about climate change! Yes, we had to take drastic actions yesterday, and the best thing we can do is take drastic actions today. We’re just kicking the can down the road, and I don’t think there’s any road left.
My entire point is that there are certain categories of things in which you do not have time to act, and you must do it quickly and firmly.
-Climate acceleration, more highways, more trucks and SUV’s, banning affordable EVs
-Increased defense spending
-Higher deportations and now executive order asylum closing
-Renewed oil and gas leasing on federal lands, and weird restriction on leasing federal lands for renewable energy that more oil and gas leasing has to happen first
-The longest stretch of no minimum wage increase ever.
-rampant inflation
-lack of prosecution for a ton of crimes from Trump and other republicans
-no effort against Americas problem of gun violence
-campaigned on fixing a gap in subsidy coverage for health insurance for the lowest earning Americans, with no mention since
Not even mentioning the biggest problem people have with them, plenty of people have told you already.
Roe v. Wade was overturned under his mandate period as well. Sure it’s a Supreme Court decision, and the SC is mostly republican but it’s not like Biden couldn’t have pushed harder. He could, but then he wouldn’t be able to campaign on it.
“Vote for me and I’ll return some rights to people, maybe.”
How was Biden worse than expected?
I think he’d be worse if you expected him to not support Israel do a genocide, but if you expected that you should have read up on his positions and, frankly, the last 70 years of United States foreign policy.
Expecting or not doesnt affect being bad or not
Totally. But this is about wether he’s below or above expectations. If your expectations were low then it stands to reason the bad things could match your expectations.
My bad i forgot expectations was the question asked

Some people think the entire world and everything in it can be changed on a dime. I have to constantly tell people things take time.

Second, we are moving in the right direction. Unprecedented green energy policies, EV incentives, charging infrastructure, pretty sure there was stuff for train building, quick googling says $20.5 Billion for transit funding https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/biden-harris-administration-provide-205-billion-federal-funding-support-transit. Congrats, you showed you are the exact person that thinks the world can all change on a dime.
And some 20 times more than that is going to highways
Meanwhile, gas guzzling SUV sales have skyrocketed recently https://www.theautopian.com/heres-the-exact-year-suv-sales-overtook-sedan-sales-in-america/

Yes, it’s all the Democrats’ fault that six Republican appointed justices overturned Roe.
Bullshit.
It is absolutely their fault there are more Republicans in the Supreme Court. Justices aren’t naturally occurring by unpredictable Acts of God.
It is also RBG’s fault, while we’re at it.
Your RGB point is the first one of merit. Sure should have left at an advantageous time.
The judges were appointed by a majority Republican Congress with a republican president. In what way could democrats stop it?
The majority republican congress and the republican president are also their fault. They’re pretty much the only ones running against them.
In that case it’s their parents faults for fucking.
It’s not their parents fault they’re incompetent corrupt pieces of shit. Or maybe it is a little bit, just not as much.
The genocide he’s not just supporting, but now actively involving US military in.
Making trump border policies permanent law.
Not fulfilling campaign promises
But like, please don’t do that thing where because I didn’t list every little thing, that I’m saying the only issues with Biden are the ones I listed.
You listed 3 false things.
