Did we know about Biden accomplishments during Obama presidency or after?
Yes
Nobody likes Biden either. He's just in because he's not Trump.
I didn't like when he was running and didn't view fire him, but now I realize that he was the best candidate post trump. I don't think any of the other unexperienced candidates would be able to handle the cards that were dealt with.
What is Biden doing beyond what his handlers tell him to do? Did you listen to Biden's speech yesterday? It was a sloppy speech claiming support for freedom and democracy while also handing billions over to Israel to commit war crimes. Honestly, the president might as well be an AI-generated avatar. It doesn't make a difference.
Is there another country in that region that could call itself democratic?
BTW: what Israel has two weeks ago is the equivalent of US 9/11, except taking into account overall population it was even more devastating. So it is no surprise they have blood in their eyes.
Biden still is working to moderate them, for example he convinced Israel to allow humanitarian aid there.
It looks like information that is coming from Hamas is totally unreliable (for example, recent explosion at hospital turned out to be caused by Islamic Jihad, didn't hit the hospital, but parking lot and didn't kill 500 people).
You sure are trying to vomit as many talking points as you can in a single post, huh? Yeah, that Biden sure is moderating Israel, asking them to give a little bit of relief in between all the war crimes and ethnic cleansing. You're right in the 9/11 comparison, in that it was a tragedy that the government took maximum advantage of to carry out things they wanted to do all along.
Senator, lecturer, civil rights lawyer, spoke out against Iraq.
Not that accomplishments matter that much. Obama had charisma. Harris not so much.
