MODERATORS
He's made a significant number of judicial appointments which will affect the judicial system for decades: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/judicial-nominations-200-senate-confirmation-biden/
Despite having his student loan debt cancellation overturned he's still managed to relieve $170 billion dollars of student loan debt: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/student-loan-forgiveness-7-7-billion-heres-who-qualifies-biden/
He was able to pass one of the largest bi partisan infrastructure bills in decades (which Trump promised to do for years and never delivered): https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/10/us/politics/infrastructure-bill-passes.html
This is just a few of his major achievements I can think of off the top of my head. There are way more accomplishments that he directly and people he has appointed have delivered than I can possibly list.
And anyone who thinks Trump would be better for the war in Gaza than Biden is delusional
His FCC brought back net Neutrality. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net-neutrality-fcc/
His CFPB put up limits to anti-consumer terms for payday loans and bank fees. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-cfpb-is-cleaning-up-junk-fees/
His administration raised fees for oil drilling in several major areas, although he also approved a large number of drilling permits so this may be a wash. https://apnews.com/article/oil-gas-drilling-public-lands-interior-climate-ffc88438d6f9c5d48e9a8fc7cffc749a
The UAW endorsed Biden. This gets weird, because many blame Biden for ending the rail strike, which he did, and which echoes the Bush Sr. Foul play with ATCs and pilots. But in exchange for ending the strike they got nearly everything they were asking for in the first place. Fain plays hardball and has probably gotten more for unions and their members than almost anyone, if he's okay with Biden, I'm inclined to agree.

Thank you
Oh! And we may get rid of Non-compete agreements because the FTC just voted to recommend a ban.
Don't forget these!

To your last comment, they always go back to the one time trump was asked about the war and his response was "I just want people to stop dying" it doesn't make any sense to me, if you're going to hang on to a few words someone says than you should also hang on to EVERYTHING else they say too. But this will help me point to a few things instead of just saying he's a better option than trump because of shit he's done/said
Edit: thank you
