No one. Every political leader undos the next presidents stuff which can be good or bad, tired of it... even if there's good in it. Just don't care.

@SatanBurger Oh, so Trump.

@Human1000 People thought by voting against him it would stop him from being elected but that didn't work. I'm voting for nobody unless it's Liver King, end of.

Of course it did. He lost in 2020. And for all of Biden's faults, he fixed the economy and we're continuing to recover.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are doing everything they can to end democracy, eliminate all welfare programs, and kill queer people.

@BohemianBoo Putting trump aside, I just can't vote anymore because the next president undos everyone else's stuff which is okay because it's checks and balances if the last president messed up so I understand the theory, just annoying.
Our system is kind of like this in how I see it:
Picture you are in a job that switches bad management every year. And the management installs new laws, updates existing ones into how they think things should be and hires new employees while firing old ones. Lots and lots of paperwork.
But in this mess, here you are, an employee and the new management makes things even worse and better at the same time. Things don't add up, sometimes people get wrongly fired, sometimes certain types get blamed for others mistakes while the same people still have their jobs and you get the brunt of it, sometimes paperwork just gets lost, rewritten laws are on top of old laws in which the writing contradictes itself... making as mess of things.
That's just how I view our system. I've never benefited from any sitting president. Whatever laws are introduced like health care even, I don't ever see it.
It's just a waste of time.

@SatanBurger So first of all, the president isn't able to undo everything. Trump wasn't able to undo the ACA. Biden wasn't able to undo the overturning of Roe v Wade. Plus, the Republicans are consistently trying to end our democracy, so this could literally be the last election.
Secondly, let's say the premise was correct. What you're saying is that instead of maintaining an imperfect status quo, you want things to get worse. Because that is what happens when people don't vote. The system is rigged so that the less people on average that vote, the more of a chance that Republicans win.
