2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

a big bold plan to solve a major american problem?
Must be election season.
TBF Biden has passed a ton of great stuff outside of election season.

The SAVE Act that is reducing Student Loan Payments as low as $0 a month
The Inflation Reduction Act which does everything from lower deficit and climate impact to lowering price of goods
Full support both through supplies and endorsing wider worldwide support for Ukraine against the Russian Invasion
Signed the 2022 update to the Respect for Marriage Act which includes protections for homosexual and transgender couples against discrimination in the search for employment or housing, which previously only force states to recognize interracial marriages from out of state
The massive infrastructure bill with little to no concessions, also avoiding a federal government shutdown
Bipartisan Safer Communities Act helps remove firearms from mentally unstable or convict individuals who likely obtained their firearms after previous president Trump removed the relevant background checks
Called for federal entities to review Marijauna's place as a scheduled drug, and pardoned all previous small offences for the substance
So, not to say absolutely everything he's done was only good, just that his policies have only slowed down or become worse near the end rather than what you implied.
