She understands that we are under attack by a global RW fascist insurgency. Keeping the GOP out of the WH will save democracy in the US and around the world. Any GOP winner would stand back and allow the russian terrorists to take Ukraine and beyond.

Yes, this is why we must unequivocally support the guy who couldn't get any laws passed to protect against said RW fascist insurgency. The guy who can't get his own party to pass voting rights expansion. The guy with no plan to counter the hijacked Supreme Court, and who has steadfastly refused to develop one. Yup, this is the guy that'll stop American Fascism.
Always blaming everyone except for the actual fascists is exactly where the fascists want you.
No one's blaming biden for the facists existence but are you expecting the facists to stop themselves? If not someones gotta do it, like maybe the commander in chief of the country under attack.
And exactly how would Biden get anything through a Senate currently spilt between the two parties? You would need 60 votes to overcome the constant filibusters the Rs would throw up since this would not be a budgetary vote.
Last time I checked, there are only 48 Dems plus three independents who caucus with the Dems, for a total of 51. We'd need at least 62 to account for Sinema and Manchin, so expecting Biden to solve this is delusional.
Don't dwell on the past. Plan ahead. Vote. Give him the tools. This is a global emergency.
What makes you think he'll use those tools when he won't use the ones he already has? This is like when the police say they need more resources in order to tackle police brutality.
What tools does he need and how do I give them to him
A country with no elected R politicians at any level or as close to that as possible. VOTE
The Democrats had control of both the White House and Congress, and they still didn't codify Roe v. Wade into law.
It's so easy to keep the status quo going when you're able to convince both sides that it'll be the literal end of the world if the other side wins. Keep voting for one of the two parties which are chosen for you, it'll turn out alright.

bro we gave him the presidency and congress for two years
Manchin, Sinema, and fillabusters prevented any real change during those two years. IIRC Biden and congressional democrats were able to use budget reconcillation rules to get past the 60 vote rule to get stuff done, after they placated Manchin and Sinema though.
This is correct. They had to shove a ton of initiatives into the reconcilation to get anything done with Sinema and Manchin blocking everything.
sigh

The filibuster exists. Biden isn’t all powerful. None of the things you mentioned would get past the current congress.
Biden isn’t perfect. But trump is the end of America. Vote Biden 24
If it were reversed, Trump would be bullying the GOP senators in his way (and he might even pull a couple of Democrat votes because they lack party unity)
Trump isn’t bullying his way past 60 senators and the house for anything major. They passed one major piece of legislation (tax cuts) when he was in office. That’s it. No Obamacare repeal, no abortion legislation, nothing of significance. And now they don’t have any platform anyway so….
The choice is between guy we don't like and aren't that excited about, and literal fascists. If you have a viable, shot in hell alternative, glad to hear. If not, you're doing the work of the fascists.

No. You're pushing a Kremlin propaganda line.

Did you post a source?
What you stated is false. No matter what your personal RW/Kremlin disinformation manipulated beliefs may be, the Biden admin DO NOT support russians murdering and kidnapping Ukrainian children.
What is your source for this claim?
We're not making anything. All the profit goes to American arms manufacturers.
