My God dude not this again

Healthcare, no idea what you're talking about, is Biden bad for health care somehow now?
Biden's corporate tax reforms swung Amazon's taxes from negative $1.2 billion per quarter to positive $1 billion when they took effect at the start of 2023, and they're currently paying $3 billion per quarter, a comfortable amount more than they've ever paid before. Here's this year's proposal of what he plans to do to build on top of that. Raising corporate taxes was most of how he funded stuff like the infrastructure bill.
Biden passed the largest single action against climate change in American history, although Republicans and Manchin blocked his earlier much more aggressive attempt.

If you were just talking about him funding a genocide we could rock and roll about how right you are, but no. I get it though -- including the other three is a necessary part in the propaganda equation because the accusations have to stay fresh and varied in order to continue hitting the right buttons to blend into an overall gestalt of badness to make it "feel" like there's a groundswell of overall opinion that Biden is just bad on everything, if that's the perception you're trying to engineer.

(Oh, and also, blaming the messenger who relays to you that Trump is infinitely, infinitely worse and that that's relevant to what we should do in the upcoming election makes about as much sense as a teenager saying "it's not faaaaaaiiiir" that we have to keep the thermostat lower or we can't take a trip because of money reasons. Yeah, I too wish we had Bernie Sanders in the election, that would be fuckin great, but also don't treat it as something I invented when I relay to you that not electing Hitler is an important priority in this election.)
