Biden hasn't done enough, though. For the amount of damage criminalization has done, tossing out a few pardons does comparatively nothing for those lives ruined by being pressured into pleas under threats of federal criminal possession charges, the lives of children who went without their fathers and entire neighborhoods destroyed by over policing, all of which was caused by laws Biden himself wrote and sponsored. Especially when he has opposed legalization legislation proposed by his own party
But that's 'not relevant' to someone who's only point is essentially "it's better than Republicans 🤷♂️"
Biden can't do more. History aside, he has shifted his stance since. However, he is not a dictator.
The solution is pretty simple, really: Vote Democrat; vote out Republicans — then watch Biden be able to pass what has already been introduced by Democrats.
So yes, it really is as simple as, "Democrats are FAR better than Republicans."
After all, when it comes to decriminalization, I can now smoke weed if I want to — thank a Democratic liberal.
