I agree with you on Biden's accomplishments (at least in the first half of his term - he kind of tailed off in the last year or two). But I know some people feel very strongly that he didn't get anything of note done.

My point is that regardless of whether he got a lot of things done, and regardless of either you after with what he did... he and his staff did it quietly and calmly. And as a result America (and the world) weren't flooded with insane crap. And I really really miss that.

    quietly and calmly.

    Seriously. And we'd already had a huge taste of the chaos of the 1st Orange administration, and somehow decided... that life was too boring or something, without it.

    But I know some people feel very strongly that he didn’t get anything of note done.

    Those people are just ridiculous to me, and I apologise for kind of sideways lumping you in there. I think it's more accurate to say that Biden's was generally a strong admin, but with some terrible failures in terms of appointing Garland as AG and not doing enough to prosecute those who badly needed to be prosecuted. In short, not taking seriously-enough the existential threat of what wound up following.
