• all-time low for uninsured
• unemployment has held below 4% for the longest stretch since the 1960s
• income increases began to outpace price increases
• cost of living is returning to its pre-pandemic level this year
• rise in real wages for lower-income workers lowers inequality
• violent crime is down

None of these are things they did directly

• energy transition spending was $303 billion last year, a record and two-thirds higher than before Biden
• $369 billion investment in climate change, the largest in American history, through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
• rejoined the Paris Agreement

None of these directly help workers

• signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that created enhanced background checks, closed the “boyfriend” loophole and provided funds for youth mental health

If it's bipartisan then the democrats didn't do it.

• college debt relief to Americans with loans who make under $125,000 a year

only a small amount

• cut child poverty in half through the American Rescue Plan

only for a short period of time

• capped prescription drug prices at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act

For a very specific group

• imposed a 15% minimum corporate tax on some of the largest corporations in the country, ensuring that they pay their fair share, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act

Pretty sure this was because of a global treaty

• reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act through 2027

Keeping things the same isn't a improvement

• halted all federal executions after the previous administration reinstated them after a 17-year freeze

Getting things back to how they were previously isn't an improvement.

• $1.2 trillion infrastructure package to increase investment in the national network of bridges and roads, airports, public transport and national broadband internet, as well as waterways and energy systems
• gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending
• reduced healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act by $800 a year
• signed the PACT Act to address service members’ exposure to burn pits and other toxins
• signed the Respect for Marriage Act, requiring the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories (though not tribes) to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States

I don't know enough about these to comment, on the surface they sound good but some are vague.

What improvements did Democrats make in the past 4 years?

The last time a president made marginal improvements they introduced term limits to stop it happening again.

The shocking thing is it doesn't happen more often tbh.

Here we go again.

We'll probably see a massive push of identity politics or some other distraction from the media again, like happened after occupy wall street.

American uniparty propaganda already has people believing Trump is a freedom fighter who's going to dismantle the deep state or a fascist who will make himself dictator for life. It's effectiveness is truly amazing.

I hope I'm wrong though.

It's not useless, before stainless steel it was one of the few inert metals that could be used for food handling.

Aluminium used to be more valuable than gold, Napoleon had his most honoured guests served food on aluminium plates, while lesser guests had to make do with solid gold.

In an ideal system the jury would decide the sentence, and give him one day community service (time served).

Should've gone ethanol, then he could power it with holy spirit.

Like most parasites, they have an important place in the ecosystem.

Ticks for instance are a source of food for several species.

Pardons don't have to be specific, they've been used to pardon whole groups of people before (although it's properly called an amnesty, in that case) https://www.justsecurity.org/73851/the-constitutionality-of-non-specific-pardons/

What a massive waste of money the whole "smart" meter farce is. In a decade 4g will be phased out and everything will need to be replaced again. Meanwhile my "dumb" meter is easily over 40 years old.
