Bidens biggest failures were not undoing a lot of the things Trump did in his first term.
I think it was a false belief in that the US should remain consistent and not back peddle on bad policies. So, instead of working with Iran to restore the JCPoA (that they continued to abide by via the UN) he continued to push sanctions. Similar situation with Venezuela. Hell, he even kept a lot of Trump's awful border policy. He absolutely failed in restoring faith in America, on the world stage, after Trump's first term. He needed to push hard in the opposite direction and have actual material changes that Trump (or any Republican) could not undo again.
Now, one could say this is because they didn't think they would lose again to Trump. But, that, in itself, was also a major failure for Biden/Harris. They had no major material improvements to point to as an achievement.
His biggest failure was not arresting and putting Trump in prison~___~
The pinnacle failure of centrists. Regressives have no issues throwing out good policy.
I do believe they honestly tried, but the damage done was not something which could easily be solved in a weekend. I even said in arguments that most of his first term would be trying to repair the US's reputation on the world stage which he did make strides at. But as for passing anything, Moscow mitch even openly said that they'd fight against everything they could just to make Biden look like he wasn't capable of new laws or policy.
The first things Biden had on his plate when he took office were dealing with COVID to get the country and economy running again, fallout from the January 6th insurrection, and the time bomb of the military withdraw from Afghanistan.
