    Most legislatively successful president in modern history?

    Sam Seder also said recently that Biden is the best Dem president in living memory (low bar).

    Where are these things coming from? Like, unironically, I want to know what they’re referring to

      Taking this in good faith, it’s possible Biden’s genocide(s?) and other policies have led to fewer deaths than those of Obama and Clinton.

      Biden: Palestine, Yemen, I assume some others I’m forgetting about, COVID domestically

      Obama: Yemen, continued the US occupation of the middle east (but Biden was VP for those so feel like he probably has to get some credit)

      Clinton: Bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq (al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory), the crime bill domestically (but written by Biden soooo)

      Even so, this is like comparing which Axis leader was the “best” during WWII. It doesn’t matter and all of them deserve the wall.
