I wish we went further left, but the reality is that Biden has been a steady hand at the wheel where we've come out of economic unknown of the covid shut downs pretty well. We still have a ways to go, but we're heading in the right direction, and the most glaring problem (namely inflation) was something baked in before he even came into office.

Abroad we actually have the respect of much of the world, and it feels like to our allies that we are actually a partner that can be trusted on. Keep in mind that if you told a republican of the 80s that a US president rally the west against an imperialistic russia invading Europe, without committing a single US or NATO troop, and exposed them for how weak they are, then they would have said he was the second coming of Reagan.

Do I disagree with a lot of what he has done? Yes. But it's been a steady ride. Compared to Trump's presidency, which was a bumpy ride throughout, handing off an economy that looked like it could just go completely into the shitter, and threatening our alliances across the world, he looks like straight up looks like one of the best.
