Name one piece of legislation that Beto had passed that wasn’t changing the name of a courthouse that benefitted the people of Texas? The only smart thing he did was marry in to a wealthy family. He couldn’t use his fake name to beat Ted Cruz, who is universally hated, and Greg Abbott who is also hated. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Even with his fake name, all the pandering, all the Hollywood money and the MSM media in his corner, he couldn’t win either election. He’s the democrats Clayton Williams.
Biden is simple. Whatever he decides, do the opposite. Obama only picked him because he wanted the moderate white vote and knew Biden could deliver that. Biden was against the raid to kill OBL. He was the author of the crime bill that locked up more minorities.
As President he’s made some decisions that are killing Americans:
First was his decision to halt oil and gas leases on federal land. That has had the biggest affect on the price of gas in the US. To try and dispel this, NPR wrote this fluff piece:

Word trickery. A lease is the first step. Then the drilling permit. I don’t have the facts at hand to say whether Biden is outpacing trump in permits or not but I do know that zero onshore leases on federal lands have been awarded under Biden. It takes 140 days to get a federal drilling permit. Takes 2 days for a Texas drilling permit in private land.
Biden did hold an offshore auction last year, but only after they were ordered by a federal judge to resume auctions. It may have been the “largest” auction in terms of potential leases offered, but it wasn’t the largest in terms of leases awarded. Main reason people weren’t interested was the ridiculously high “social cost of carbon” at $51/ton as developed under Obama, reduced to $7 under Trump, and back to $51 under Biden. A federal judge recently issued an injunction preventing Biden admin from using the $51.
They will tell you that there are 9000 leases available to drill on. Again, word trickery. If there was oil available the oil companies would drill. Now Biden to save face is claiming to renew leases on federal lands. It’s about 20% of the acreage originally planned, and they are raising the royalty from 12.5% to 19%. summary: step in right direction, small acreage, less profitable for drillers. Biden sold out to the environmentalists and this is the result. Once you raise the cost of fuel, all good go up. If green was sustainable and we could use it, don’t you think we would?
Biden could reverse this and it would take 6-8 months for production to come back and the prices to drop. He can’t do that because of his base. So he throws out fluff like “Tapping the federal reserve”. It does nothing. The US consumes 17M barrels a day. 1M isn’t shit. Trump tried to buy out the state of Texas in 2020 to replenish our reserve and was blocked by Chuck Schumer and the democrats in congress

That would have been at $1 a barrel. When Biden first hit the reserve it was done at an auction and wasn’t beneficial to anyone. Only 2 companies bid and it was for 14M barrels, or almost 1 day of consumption. The cost was $2.50 a barrel and companies had to replace 10% back. It was bullshit.
Biden allowed the Nord Stream 2 online. This gave Putin the power and $$$ he needed to invade Ukraine. Eastern and Western Europe were told not to do it. They did. Now where are they? They are at the mercy of a madman who is killing the innocent people in Ukraine. If Biden would repeal his executive order, we could strangle Putin and end the war in Ukraine. He won’t. That would also stop OPEC from being the cartel they are.
I won’t even get into the southern border.
Does this suffice?
