It's a bit reductionist to boil Obama down to the shit implementation of Obamacare that the GOP killed in the womb. I encourage you to read on it. TL;DR, it was gonna be pretty good, but the GOP threw a fit that it was going to be a win for Dems and tanked it. You're also leaving out the fact that Obama expanded gay rights and got talking about climate change on a policy level. Should both of those things happened sooner? Yes, but that's letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Biden isn't amazing and honestly, I don't care for him much. However, I doubt he letting the genocide in Gaza happen for profits. With the Dem's own party, Israel is a divisive issue and I'm sure he's having to tread carefully so it doesn't shoot in the foot later because politicians are scummy petty people
The ACA that wasn’t all it could have been was STILL a huge improvement and completely moved the battle lines on healthcare.
