I'd say he didn't do enough yet.
your insults don't change my opinion of democrats
more insults and a paragraph of nonsequitur and spurious accusations.
How is it the result of “weak” Biden? How does a “stronger” president overrule the Supreme Court?
See Andrew Jackson.
Who was objectively a terrible president.
He did that because the supreme court told him not to genocide indigenous folks
You're saying Biden should invoke more "genocide the indigenous folks" precedents?
He could've issued executive order to cancel all student debt. He didn't he sat on his hands and shurg said fuck you to millions of young people and allow the corrupt Supreme Court overule him.
This isn't universally true, and he's said as much in many statements. Unlike the last administration, he's having his lawyers review what can and can't be done knowing that the courts are going to challenge everything he does and given their current slant won't be kind to anything he does.

Also, aren’t executive orders still subject to Supreme Court rulings? What would stop them from just overruling it again?
Nothing would stop them. He’s an experienced Politician that’s not giving up. He doesn’t get enough credit where it’s due.
This is democrats since I've been alive. Reagan and Bush create wars and economic disasters, Clinton turns it around. Repeat for Bush Jr and then Obama who had to turn us around from the financial crisis beta. Trump comes in, completely mismanages a pandemic even though there was a literal playbook left for him, tanks the economy, and now Biden has to get it back on track and by objective measures is doing so. And then we have the continued pain points of things like high grocery prices that we're all still really feeling that are again the result of Trump's disastrous handling of the pandemic which basically gave these people an excuse to jack prices up as high as they wanted. Note how very few things have rebounded to pre-pandemic, and corp profits are at an all time high.
There is legitimately not an economic argument to be made for republicans unless you're a billionaire.
Not to mention intentionally creating legislation that falls apart financially after they assume a Democrat will come into power that they can immediately blame.
Executive orders aren't "I get to be a dictator today!" edicts.
And how is it Bidens fault the supreme court is corrupt?
Biden made student loans undischargeable even in bankruptcy
Terrible take. Biden was poised to cancel student loan debt, and the Supreme Court said no. You know how the branches of government work, right?
